    Not sure what you think that point proves mailman.

    It is quite true major climate changes can be caused by natural events but natural events tend to be short lived. A volcano shoves dust into the air and then in a decade or so it's pretty much back to normal.

    A better comparison to human activity would be with something that does not happen, a perpetual volcano whose emissions get steadily worse.

      IF global warming is a man made event, WHO is going to stop the Chinese and Indians from pumping out 10x the pollution due to the massive industry in these ex 3rd world countries?

      So what's the point of me giving up my 5 litre V8?

        A surprising statistic I read the other day was that 96.5% of all carbon dioxide emissions are from natural sources, mankind is responsible for only 3.5%! Surprising isn't it?

          Well, if they can stop you buying it then the supply will be increased slightly and hence the price lowered enabling some poor person in the third world to have it instead. Do try and keep up now.

            And who could argue with that ... not only is this more pleasing to the eye thanks to the Oil Industry ,but consider the business potential of that vista, to cater for the influx of visitors we need to construct a highway,petrol stations, car parks, hotels, casinos,police stations,Pizza Huts, leisure complex ... the list is endless.

            Now that is what I call progress.

            Had the moaning ninnies had their way it would have remained an unproductive fridge.


            Here we stand
            Like an Adam and an Eve
            Waterfalls
            The Garden of Eden

            Are smiling upon them
            From the age of the dinosaurs

            Cars have run on gasoline
            Where, where have they gone?
            Now, it's nothing but flowers

            There was a factory
            Now there are mountains and rivers
            you got it, you got it

            We caught a rattlesnake
            Now we got something for dinner
            we got it, we got it

            There was a shopping mall
            Now it's all covered with flowers
            you've got it, you've got it

            If this is paradise
            I wish I had a lawnmower
            you've got it, you've got it

            This used to be real estate
            Now it's only fields and trees
            Where, where is the town

            Now, it's nothing but flowers
            The highways and cars

            Were sacrificed for agriculture
            I thought that we'd start over
            But I guess I was wrong

            Once there were parking lots
            Now it's a peaceful oasis
            you got it, you got it

            This was a Pizza Hut
            Now it's all covered with daisies
            you got it, you got it

            I miss the honky tonks,
            Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
            you got it, you got it

            And as things fell apart
            Nobody paid much attention
            you got it, you got it

            I dream of cherry pies,
            Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
            you got it, you got it

            We used to microwave
            Now we just eat nuts and berries
            you got it, you got it

            This was a discount store,
            Now it's turned into a cornfield
            you got it, you got it


            Don't leave me stranded here
            I can't get used to this lifestyle

              I am not qualified to give the above advice!

              Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

                I think he was from Scotland and left for the US at the age of 9, I suspect his early days in Scotland was the inspiration for PyscoKiller ....

                  Anything I don't understand is nonsense.
                  The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
