We should all try to increase our CO2 emissions in an attempt to curb work hunger.
It's a proven FACT that a higher CO2 content in the atmosphere substantially increases the growth and the productivity of plant life, which is where the food chain begins.
It is NOT a proven fact that CO2 increases world temperatures, in fact, as the world temperature has been dropping for the last decade while the average CO2 content of the atmosphere has more than doubled, it would be easier to prove CO2 innocent of climate change.

"There will be the same attractive, to a great extent pathetic and at first sight quasi-noble idea that transcends the individual in the name of something above him, (of something greater than his poor self), supplemented by enormous self-confidence on the side of those who stand behind it. Like their predecessors, they will be certain that they have the right to sacrifice man and his freedom to make their idea reality. In the past it was in the name of the masses (or of the Proletariat), this time in the name of the Planet. Structurally, it is very similar".
Vaclav's voice of reason is refreshing amongst the cacophany of moral environmental rhetoric coming from the media, in particular the BBC, and also the M.E.N. and other media outlets.
To paraphrase Henry VIII, 'We need to rid ourselves of these troublesome priests' of the new religon on backwardness and environmentalism.

If they get their way, it'll be Trabants and tenement blocks for us all, comrades.

I drive a 1984 Landrover (15-18MPG)that does not depreciate, costs £200 Insurance (Fully Comp Business and Pleasure) £185 Road Tax and £45 MOT a year.
What car should I get to replace it? (Bearing in mind that a complete exhaust cost £35 and a full service less than £40 for parts and lubricants also it will outlive me and will not be shipped off to China or India as scrap in a few years)

Obviously you need a four wheel drive to get around where you live?,Just like all those women who drive 4x4 rangerovers etc to school they really need all that power and steel to take a few children to scool.I think people should leave all their central heating on all day and their lights to waste even more fuel?? It defies logic to waste money on fuel etc ? Especially when prices are on the up!.its up to you what car you drive .

It's the model designed in 1947 with drum brakes, no power steering, no air bags no air con, no carpets etc. little things that all contribute to the earths deminishing resources when fitted to modern cars. The school run in a Range Rover is nowt to the fuel used when they fly to Disney World, Florida for the winter break with the little kiddy-winks and the week-end breaks in Europe or New York.

it wasnt so long agao that you couldnt see a few metres infront of yourselves because of the smog caused by the industrial past. but we dont have much industry like that left.
the air in the world is at its cleanest.
i've been recycling bottles, cans and paper for over ten years now plus i've had energy saving lightbulbs approx the same amount of time. composted any waste like peelings etc. and yet im still told im not doing my bit for the enviroment!
getting a bit fed up of this climate change subject the government keep whining on about!

green house gases, carbon emmissions.
Its about time we had a change of colour, how about 'the brown life' he's more of a liabilty on this country than any greenhouse gases.

They allow conversations between those commenting almost daily,yet deliberately
dump comments from anyone offering facts and information.
If you simply want a cosy talking shop between the same mob,then you`ve got it.
