Nothing but the climate change summit on the news at the moment. We are killing our planet dont you know? Air travel is the worst polluter as far as travel is concerned. Those planes pump out more CO2 than a medium sized country.

So, imagine my surprise when I found this buried in the news:

No its not. Its one of the greenest way to travel if you look at emissions per mile given.

Its all a load of a 'dangle berries' anyway, the figures this whole climate change policy was based on, were fiddled.

Not quite Mr Tunnie......some mischievous little rascals....are trying to sabotage the conference....with one or two pieces of deliberately misunderstood data.
There is over thirty years of collected data ......which seems to suggest that global warming is real and unimagined.

Back in the middle ages, Greenland was not snow covered.  Was it all those eskimos driving around in their Chelsea Tractors in the 1st millenium that caused the global warming that allowed them to live there?

And the last ice age? Was that caused by all those Boeing 747s flying around 15000 years ago?

The earth heats and cools in cycles. Whether Man has added to that is unclear and definately unproven. Needs further study.

Which sort of ignores the previous umpteen hundreds

My simple question to all these Climate Change protaganists ...... 

Please explain to me why, if Greenland was named because it was green and fertile and the Romans used to grow vines in York to make wine..... you can say that the climate is warmer NOW than it was THEN ... as Greenland is covered in ice and vines won't grow in York .......

The planet warms and cools over many hundreds and thousands of years, comparing today to 30/50/100 years ago is pointless and we just don't have the data of 4000 years back.

So Climate Change bloke ... "it must be warmer as the Thames used to freeze and now it doesn't"

Non-climate change bloke .... "Vines grew in York"

You choose your stand and argue accordingly .. while most folks just accept that the main thrust behind the whole argument is MONEY

That's not true!  I just watched the news and there was a story about some person trying to get pink banned for girls!  This is really important guys.  Please sign up.

Talking of News.  The stories reported on tv news programmes and text have become uniform across all channels I watch.  Little wonder that teletext is pulling out this month (linkaroony).

One of the worst contributers to global warming is cows farting.What is being done to alter this?  oh yes,money isn't being made from a solution to this problem so lets not publicise it.

[STMO999]

Paul Macartney says that we should cut down on the meat to save on cow f@rts. China's goal is to reduce it's emissions by 40% by 2050......per capita.

Both of these actions fail to take into account the growth in population. A 40% per capita reduction wont even keep up with the growing population and, Mr Macartney, it doesn't matter if we cut down on meat, because there is a constantly growing number of mouths to feed.

The only solution is to start killing people, lots of them.

Can we start with all those that drive in the middle or outside lane at less than 70 when the left lane is empty?

I think the UK needs a 3rd runway if it is to remain a major economic player.

  We are skint. It's like a third world country in most big cities. Gated communities wont be long coming.

Isn't that what the outside lane should be used for?

Bankers should be the first to go.....I mean ...it's not as if anybody likes them.

In that case we make out we're loaded and a major UK player.
