I have re-read what I posted and can see how it comes across.

I didn't mean to imply that nothing we do will influence the planet, rather that nothing we do will influence the long-term always happening changes that have happened throughout the life of the planet, whether there was human life here or not.

Yes of course we can make a difference to the dramatic changes we are seeing.

And the Deforestation over a even longer period hasn't helped

My view might not be up everyones street but its about time the powerstations that burn oil and coal were replaced with Nuclear power plants.
Looks like they will have to be Fission reactors as JET have spent decades on researching Fusion and made little progress towards producing a sustainable fusion reaction.

I'm confused anyway as "They" said we'd have an Ice age first caused by Global Warming :confused:

What will be will be. I can't worry anymore as I've got mega high cholesterol so I'll probably be dead anyway :lol:

Hello

Personally I am not convinced anybody really knows what the “global warning” band wagon is really about,
and more concerning what the motives behind western governments to presume we as a human race are incapable to understand.

(advert on TV drive 5 miles less) and ultimately as such must be told you must change your ways.

It appears to me living in the western culture, that indeed modern industrialisation has had an impacted on the world we now inhabit;

maybe there are too many people, what about a global war? Oh we are trying to do that sorry . . .

I am however sceptical the frenzied Buzz words will ever have any real impact on changing people attitudes. (Globally)

However a re-session of global impact will, oh! But we are in that too! ? ? So take heed . . .

Call me a sceptic, but I have also lived in the Far East, India, China these countries are now in excess of 400million people
and I can assure you they are only interested in making a buck and don’t give a flying about global warming,
if they even know what it is . . no disrepect ment to these nations.

If my electrical company wants to give be 4 bulbs that will last until I die, I am happy to indulge,
but fitting these bulbs do I feel like I am making any impact on global warming Hell No ...
as my next month’s electric bill will go up . . Go figure . . .

“Use less as it will be costing you more if you don’t “:rolleyes:

Global warming sorry I am not on the band wagon as yet. . But I do know who ever gets in at the next paliament
will push this as a genuine concern while taxing us up to the hilt.:mad:


Convince me I am wrong I'am all ears. .

I'm concerned for our planets health, for my children and their children's generations.

As a generation we have a responsibility to do something don't we?

I cant support turning a blind eye to our impact on the environment. I work in Energy, Oil and Gas, we have concerns about carbon emissions, and are looking to LNG for a cleaner future, Nuclear is another option, that better science will overcome its inherent challenges.

We, as modern nations, should help the B,R,I,C nations industrialize themselves in the least harmful way possible, is that our responsibility? I think so.

Think globally, act locally.

Can one persons actions change things, I like to think so, history has a few good examples too.

Do some research, be aware, have your own view, don't be led by politics and power......

Not Doom & Gloom Steve
But other realistic view to what is a global problem
A problem that needs to be tackled on a Global bassis


How much is it going to cost to get a 20% reduction in Carbon Emisions in the UK. If this same amount was spent in the developing Industrial countries would it not give a bigger reduction in Global carbon Emissions.

As a global issue wouldn't it be wise to spend the money where you get the best global return

Burt Rutan makes a convincing case (and exposes a few 'untruths') and this was before the UEA exposure.

after a review I read in the telegraph, I've got this for Xmas and started reading it

The real global warming disaster - is the obsession with climate change turning out to be the mostly costly scientific blunder in history? by Christopher Booker

only 1 chapter in but seems a fair balance so far

I must say I always try to buy green products. Super unleaded from the green pump is a must for my all of my V8 household appliancies. I've also fitted really expensive platinised catalytic converters to my Ducati, emissions are very low indeed and it makes one whole horsepower!
