its the hippies who support environmental concerns who are the problem. no one wants to be associated with them.
they should support big oil and fox hunting so normal people can oppose them

Errr......we're surrounded by water not floating on it.

TirNaNog.

Actually water vapour is the biggest green house gas,its not that its 'drowning us'it's reflecting the infrared radiation emitted off the earths surface back down to earth thus heating the earth.

Most people think that global warming is going to thaw the polar ice caps and it is the water from this that will rise the ocean levels. That ain't so. The big issue is that when water is heated, it expands, so the rising temp is causing the water to expand upwards, drowning us all. As more heat is in the environment, more water is evaporated into clouds, which means we get more rain, which is happening.

Things are happening quite quickly and we are a part of it. I still can't see why turning something off as opposed to leaving it on stand by makes any difference at all though.

I do everything within my power to speed it along. The worlds fubar! What we need now is a good old fashioned global disaster to reset everything and put us back in our place. Best thing that could happen to human civilisation IMO.

Additionally, at the moment, there has been research highlighting how the introduction of China and India to the superpowers is leading to an increased demand for meat, which in turn is putting great pressure on supplies. There are too many people on the planet as well.

Obvious solution: Start eating people.

I'm not trying to be Bono here or anything(self-righteous fool, blah bla blah the poor but I'll ignore the homeless guys sitting behind my hotel)

But do you turn of your lights or you t.v etc.
The world will be warming up by 2 degrees by 2012 which is going to have some pretty bad consequences(we can already see the effects of this now)
Irelands carbon emmissions have actually gone UP since we signed the Kyoto agreement which is subjecting us to all sorts of fines....and Obama so far hasn't done any of his wonerful energy saving initatives, then i read in the Irish Times today that Airtricity aren't green at all!

So whats the story, are we just gonna keep killing the planet or what?

No conspiracies here please.....

I did my bit for the planet and bought an umbrella

It's just another rung in the ladder of environmental 'causes' that people fill their sad lives with - greenhouse effect -> ozone layer -> global warming -> climate change -> the next big thing!

I had to add to your post.

greenhouse effect -> ozone layer ->Y2k Bug -> WWW -> global warming -> George W Bush -> Brian Cowan -> World Climate will now changed -> the next big thing!

y2k Bug & WWW -> caused extra emmisions for extra purchase of extra powerful energy hungry computers.
George W Bush -> His Wars and his denials of Global Warming added to Climate change.
Brian Cowan -> added his fair share of hot air and furious attitude just tipped the scales!! His idea of Green is Republican.
