start an e-petition to ban feckless e-petitions

Intoduce Cane Toads, that'll sort it out. We don't know what we're tinkering with and we are in the petri dish.

Congratulations AP! Some good news at last.

So if it is all bollocks then, what should we do about sustainable development? Should we improve our use of resources for its own ends? Will you play a little more to know that energy won't run out and you can always have your choice of food? Anyone see any sense in any of this thinking or are you essentially anarchists? Incidentally everyone knows population is THE problem, but telling people not to fuck is even more of a joke than telling them to cut down on meat. Some creative solutions would be refreshing.

parky in controversy shocker.

happy birthday. you were right all along.

CT is the new fop tbh

Got as far as the Foreword (which really should make the case) "we will see catastrophic consequences including rising sea levels, droughts and famines" Been there , done that "New scientific evidence suggests important tipping points may have already been passed leading to irreversible changes" Shit, too late Bla de Bla de Bla Well you've got me there CT. Damn.

China is commited to developing more renewable energy than anywhere else and has a truly impressive programme - http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/cif-...na-clean-energy By acting ourselves we can encourage and assist others, our political impact, and that of Europe should not be underestimated. A defeatist attitude brings its own results. We can help developing nations leapfrog to new technologies. You can bitch and moan about industries and conspiracy theories all you like but this is happening and if you don't think we should be trying to do something, well, that's disappointing. I would prefer if you took this seriously as I think it is the most serious topic of all, but you probably just think I am a nutcase, you're entitled to that. Read the whole scientific compendium in my previous post. Maybe we can do fuck all but if you have an interest you should extend your knowledge beyond the average Sun reading Joe Public who thinks it's just another taxation strategy, just a pile of shite, the latest trick. Science was recognising this 15+ years ago, government has taken a decade to get on board, Joe 'where's my steak and cheap truck' Public will no doubt take another 10 years. The comments on here renew my belief that policy and intervention are the only hope for change as people simply either don't buy it or are too selfish to act responsibly having lived in such decadent times. I have to recycyle, they're making me recycle! Boo fucking hoo. This agenda is mind bending, once the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme is fully established and carbon a capped tradeable then you will be a stone's throw from carbon and therefore energy policing. National Indicator 186 is going to become a very real concern for all and we are going to witness radical transformation in energy usage in our lifetimes. We have been living cheaply and crudely and we cannot get away with it any more. All new infrastructure will be carbon zero, all existing infrastructure will either be retrofitted or possibly mothballed due to the cost of retrofitting. We are going to witness serious rationalisation of the public estate. We are all going to have to tighten our belts. You can stick your head in the sand but fortunately thousands and thousands of concerned and capable do-gooders are working to improve our chances of sustainable development in the face of potential huge change. Even if the change doesn't come, isn't it about time we started managing our resources more appropriately? Do you really think Kyoto and Copenhagen are just a bit of a jolly? Do you think people in all nations all over the world are just making all this shit up? SERIOUSLY?

good lad, I hope we end up with all press banned from SJP.

terrifying if you have faith in the scientific community tbh.

redundant post (mine)

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/features/351670/do-...sts-really-work cba to distill, sorry. edit:CT can you pick the bones out of that too?

Divvent ye worry man AP, I've emailed wor Tony.

I signed that fucker too, nout.

Your recycling fines are because of EU directives on landfill. If you don't recycle it will cost your Local Authority a fortune in landfill taxes. This will either mean less social workers or more council tax. Suck up the tiny bit of responsibility for the way you live, perhaps? I believe governments should have the balls to stop the wasteful use of packaging however we are not there (as has been previously noted they are ultimately in bed with industry) and you must agree we can't just keep burying all our rubbish forever?

Edit: I give up.

I only look forward to the next owner tbh. We are in purgatory.

I don't believe any of this till Redheugh backs it anyway.

What is it this year Ant? Inspector Gadget or Snarf?

first laugh of the day, thanks.

Sports Direct a good price at 25-1 like.

Takes more than its own weight in jet fuel to send a kiwi fruit over. you're spot on, and this is one of many dozens of insane ways of living that are contributing to the problem. I don't think Stern is saying meat is murder, I think he's suggesting it is an indulgence we could reduce as a species. I imagine he probably said other things but that is a headline, isn't it? It's not like it hasn't been said many times before anyway. Government intevention and policy. Switzerland does not import any of the food stuff that they grow until they have completely exhausted all of their own stock.
