adios

And that from Souness's number one fan!

Given how long it has taken man to evolve a very quick and extreme change will have dire consequences, but we are extremely adaptable and the natural balance is a lot more robust than you're suggesting. I just think there's a bit of religion in what you're saying. Just because we do bad things to the earth, does not mean we will be punished. EDIT: Rikko, where do planes fit into the scenario above?

Leazes, all of your ideas to solve the world's problems are simplistic. If it is so easy, why do we have problems and why have we always had problems, even when suspected "I'm all right Jacks" were shoved up the arse of a live African elephant and set alight?

I think you're info's out of date, the Pentagon labelled it a bigger threat than terrorism a couple of years ago. The "global warming myth" lot are now the crazies.

You don't think energy leaders are looking at the where the next trillion will be made? I think there'll be some very serious interest in swaying public opinion to nuclear energy, and I believe the campaign may already have started. The bit I've highlighted, fatalism or science?

10 years ago a small minority were talking about it and the rest scorned,now that's flipped, so either the vast majority were wrong then or are wrong now, therefore the number of scientists supporting it doesn't impress me. It's not controversial to say that the minority have a vested interest, but maybe the other side have a vested interest in renewable energy, or a more realistic alternative, nuclear power? What's the worst case scenario? Is Jake Gyllenhaal envolved?

Any recommendations? I agree we need to err on the side of caution, anecdotally there is plenty of pointers, both from others and myself, these are undoubtedly heightened by panic-mongers who, unfortunately, are probably doing this the only way possible, it does make it somehwat difficult to gather the facts in this shit-storm, though.

I haven't seen any evidence of that, if you have I'd like to see it. It's an issue I'm undecided on.

Because you're the protector of all things furry?

Why?

Because normally these changes happen over centuries or millenia, not over a few decades? Because it was predicted and is scientifically plausible? Because there have been no natural phenomena that could account for it over this time period (e.g. increased solar output, changed tilt of the Earth or whatever)? A bit of a coincidence the Earth is rapidly getting hotter and this correlates almost perfectly with a rise in CO2, which in turn corresponds perfectly with the increased use of fossil fuels, don't you think? 82278[/snapback] I'm with Lou on this one. We've gone from complete ignorance to hysteria and half-truths. Europe and North America had unseasonably cold winters for over a century in recent times, similar to some of the weather we're seeing now, but now everything is a sign of impending doom. Don't get me wrong, I'm concerned about global warming and there is enough evidence there to take this very seriously, but it's just the latest soap opera.

I am equally unfamiliar with both, never read them right through. That's something I'd like to rectify at some point, but I don't think I understand your point .

Absolutely, to be honest I find it hard to take religious people seriously, it's like basing your life around the works of JK Rowling. And for those of you who feel comfortable in a crowd, there is plenty of historical precedence for fools having company.

I don't think that's true. The koran is as relevant to law as the bible in any country.

asperger's syndrome, not ass-burgers, that's a whole separate thing!

bum

bully

It's taking the piss out of the dot com boom and crash, and myself. I am also obsessed with bums.

"Do-gooders" are also to blame when you don't get a joke; do you blame them when you run out of milk, or can't get it up?

You shouldn't talk about HTT like that!

Situation has never arisen tbh.

That question was on Geordie Pride, it gave a different answer, I think it's out of date; there was a few like that, bit of disgrace actually!

Unlikely.

Sima?

Probably both tbh.
