Reference :- But it isn't freezing cold everywhere , although Sky weather boy Rowan Dean hasn't told us about that .
Dear " no holds barred " weather boy ,
I tell you , we are freezing our plums off out here in Kooralya , Rowan . We are crowded around the fire in the lounge , hunched over with hands in pockets , breathing frost at each other . The lads abandoned their cots on the verandah sleepout around sparrow's . Too much icy wind was blowing in through a couple of broken louvres.
Ken junior noticed a plucky hare had started munching on the special herbs he grows under the tank stand . We opened the door so Dog could chase it away . Dog just stood at the door for a moment , looked out at the fog with disgust , flattened his ears , and returned to his rug by the fire .
Last night our cousin Hassan Ben Herdof , who lives in Iran , phoned to see how we are coping , what with the weather being clementless and all . Benny ( as we call him ) told us that they are roasting in the heat over there . Even his turban is getting all sweated up. Apparently 5 countries in the Middle East have just joined the exclusive 50 degrees celsius club for the first time .
It makes a chap wonder if maybe this global warming conspiracy has something to it , Rowan . Currently about 500 million people on the northern side of the equator are sweltering in record heat , the lucky buggers .
Anyway Rowan , let me know how your peer reviewed source ( " Electroverse " isn't it ? ) accounts for 500 million folk currently gasping in record heat waves .
I mentioned to Gabbo that maybe those marxist greenies could be right about global warming after all.
" Do you reckon we are heading towards unprecedented global warming ? " , I said .
" I bloody well hope so ! " , Gabbo said .
It's not like Gabbo to use profanity , but he does get a bit techy when he is freezing his plums off .
Your comrade , Ken .
P.S. Since you are a professional , perhaps you could help me with a question about grammar ?
Which is more correct ?
" Do you think we are heading towards unprecedented global warming ? "
Or
" Do you think we are heading towards unprecedented global warming going , going forward ? "
I like to stay abreast of changes in syntax ...... err ..... going forward .
