Her son in law has now made some comment about our 'carbon footprint' which has cast a bit of a shadow over things.
He'll have a size ten EO footprint up his butt next time I see him . grr
Given that travelling distances like that is, in reality, only viable by plane, I think he's being a mite silly. Give the bastard one from me!Comment

Well worth booking a few days there as well as there are few things in this world as amazing a snorkelling with a Whale Shark.
Broome is worth a look for a day or 2 also.
All the best!Comment

Alternatively / additionally: tell him to stuff his liberal middle class guilt up his @rse and explain that change cannot be achieved through individual action but through paradigm shifts in class consciousness. Tell him that by arguing otherwise, he's contributing to the problem by promoting an ineffective solution and thus obscuring the only viable solution.
Then stuff his carbon feet in concrete filled boots, leave him on the beach, and watch inexorably rising sea levels drown him. That'll teach the knut.
If man was about 20 million years ago, they would've tried to save the dinosaurs as well. I hate the phrase Carbon Footprint, what the hell is that anyways, in a few years time it will be a measure of how much "Green Tax" you will be paying. I don't care that there's scientists saying its all man made, there are also loads of them saying its nature's way, that global warming has happened since the last ice age and that earth is still recovering, funny how you don't hear from them though, there no money to be made there is there?Who has time? Who has time? But then if we do not ever take time, how can we ever have time?Comment

In another place, I had a discussion with a rather odd person, who thought that the earth would be better off without humans. I pointed out that given that we're all doomed (meteorite, gamma ray burst, LHC etc.), then only hope for any life on the planet is to spread out into the galaxy as quickly as possible and take as much earthlife with us as we can.
Of course, some enviromentalists think we shouldn't muck around with pristine (dead) environments like mars either.
I wish they'd shoot themselves.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
