    No you don't understand - according to Dim, temperatures aren't rising.

      Churchill throws his teddies out of the pram if a sparrow farts in China.
      I would ignore his anger management and inarticulacy issues.

        No.

        And to be honest, the planet couldn't give a rat's nostril either, since the earth is not sentient.

        However, the effect of the vehicle upon the planet is negative, and causes things to happen, not nice things, that affect you and others.

        Therein lies the problem.

        If the planet was all yours, you could drive about all day and it wouldn't really matter.

        It's the others.
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

          A friend of mine who works in climate research in the States recently announced he wasn't going to have children because of their potential carbon foot print.

          Made me feel quite bad. I don't even recycle.

              You read that in the paper, I reckon you actually work in Lidl and have the day off.
              You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think.

                Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

                Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.
