...... 2 years ago it was 'global warming' when we had that lovely hot
summer in 2006. Then we have 2007, where it p'd down with rain, and
suddenly its called 'climate change'. :roll:
The planet Earth has been heating up and cooling down for millenia, and
there is jack sh1t that any one living on this planet can do about it. Its just
nature taking its course. The animals, insects, fish, birds and plant life have
all evolved over millions of years to adapt to the changes in the planet, and
they will continue to do so, which yes, will result in species becoming extinct,
but thats natures way.
Dont get me wrong, pollution is a problem, and the rapid industrialisation
of China and India is causing huge pollution, but they say in their defence
that they are only doing what the developed world was doing 200 years
ago - and since when did China ever take any notice of global critiscism
anyway! :roll:
We are trying to do our bit at home, by using low energy light bulbs and
running our diesel cars on recycled veggie oil (zero pollution) - and our
petrol cars will be converted to LPG when funds allow. We recycle as much
as possible and hopefully, we'll be growing our own fruit and veg and having
fresh eggs from our own chickens this year
This will cut down on the
amount of food we need to buy, and therefore the
amount of packaging we will put in the wheelie bin to go to landfill.
As has already been pointed out, I really cannot see how taxing us into
oblivion is going to "save the planet". If fuel prices continue to go up (I
reckon it will be £1.50 a litre by this time next year), then I think we will
end up with public revolt and strikes............
Just my 2pth of course
