Oh good god, just how desperate are the green lobby



Well **** a duck, there has been an increase of 2%. Feel those ice caps melt

Odds on

I'll give the Prison Service a D- Must try harder.

Only increasing their output by at least 10% will grab my attention. Anything less is a failure IMO.

The is just the thin edge of the "New World Order" edge. It will get very very silly in the next few years.

BTW, the edges of most ice fields/caps may be melting, but in many cases the ice is getting thicker.

Klaatu, you're letting fact creep into the green debate there mate

Just the energy wasted by those morons putting out that kind of story, prolly increases overall C02 output by a few thousand tons!

Bloody laugh!

Klaatu

True! Facts are dangerous, you only have to watch Al "I invented the internet" Gore's mocumentary to understand this.

What really concerns me, and it should concern every parent, is that the "facts" on climate and climate change aren't being taught in schools. Scary and slippery slope.

Just think of the prisoners - how much more sex will some guys be getting with joint showers ? Are there some green friends in prison getting lonely ?

Ah! Good point! The Greens I think are being mistaken for the ££££€€€€ kind of greens!

Thus producing more C02 in the process! They should pay a "green tax" for all the toss they put out!

Odds on

Bit like the Congestion Charge. If they had to pay £25 for printing crap, they may think twice.

It would leave the newspapers and news channels a bit empty, but that would then be a success.

I think.

Yes it would be!

Less power used by TV stations, less paper used by newspapers etc etc LMAO!

dpb

They should be made to sit down in an airtight bubble until they can knock out something useful to anyone

Klaatu

The media is not about broadcasting/printing anything of any actual use, it's about selling!!!!! Sex, scandal, disaster...SELLS!!!! Happy stories where everyone is fed, clothed, housed, not abused, well, a good citizen....just doesn't sell.

What I find ironic is the ever increasing number of internet based "climate change awareness" sites. Just think about the number of servers, backup servers, switches, routers, telephone networks and home PC's required to spread that "awareness" all comsuming ever increasing amounts of power.

dpb

I rarely read any of this ****e on t'inernet either

but your right maybe we should have a purge on software engineers as well ...
Its not like theyre saving the rain forests either .

surely with communal showers there will be loads of bumming going on thus slack ringpieces leading to bad flatulence and an increase in Co2 emmisions?!

PeteBrant

I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with being more economic with our energy usage, or our CO2 emmisions - However, I feel there are probably bigger ecological fish to fry than this particular example.

Klaatu

Yes. Given the increase in "tonnage" reported, will it matter? No.
