"From all accounts, the world has been getting worse and worse ever since it was created. All I can say is that it must have been a remarkably delightful place when it was first opened to the public, for it is very pleasant even now…"

Idle thoughts of an idle fellow, Jerome K. Jerome (1886). (Thanks George!)

"Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it"

Mark Twain (or his collaborator on The Gilded Age, Charles Dudley Warner).

I often think of this quote, usually in the context of groups that talk a lot about climate change but find it hard turning words into action. I don’t mean it as any sort of criticism; responding to issues of climate change with valuable action is not always simple. It’s easier to sit, type, think, model and measure. Same goes with blogging. We all type away, but must not forget that action speaks louder than words - a quote made funky by the band Chocolate Milk.
