    Pat Kenny interviewed the author - you can hear the interview at
    http://www.rte.ie/radio1/player_av.html?0,null,200,http://dynamic.rte.ie/quickaxs/209-rte-todaywithpatkenny-Tuesday.smil

    The interview starts 1h17m into the programme - you can zoom to that point using the slider control.

    The book is a paperback. ISBN: 184668868X
    Available at amazon.ie, amazon.de amazon.fr etc
    (Find it fast by putting the ISBN into the search box)

    no offense couldn't be arsed listening to Kenny, really is an annoying ________ (fill in your own swear word here).

    any chance you would list the ten items....:):):):):)

    May I suggest that you create a "why I don't like Pat Kenny" type topic on boards or some other venue of choice and move your posting over there. Your posting has nothing to do with green issues.

    I've just finished reading the book and it's very interesting indeed. I'd definitely recommend it as worth reading.

    I'll have a listen to the interview later.

    I was not aware that the planet needed saving....

    While I say that with a slight grin on my face, the truth is that the the planet is not in danger. We are.

    my post asks for a list of the ten items....which is green related...

    your post has nothing to do with anything.... so why don't you quietly push off

    The emphasis of matter in your post was a negative expression of your personal opinion of Pat Kenny. You didn't even bother to listen to the interview - which was quite good in my view - or use the information provided in the root posting.

    If you bothered to use the ISBN provided, you could view an outline of the book at amazon and probably several other sites - assuming you were really interested in getting your hands on the information!

    I am not going to have this discussion with you, this thread is about the ten items raised by the OP...

    I also didn't bother with the original link because Pat Kenny is so repulsive.
    Yet was curious about the list of 10.
