You must be delighted that so much money is being poured into supporting your agenda.

If you think knowledge is expensive, try ignorance.....

It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it

How about arrogance?

I have told you that a cheap micronutrient product exists that if poured into the oceans and waters of the planet will through stimulating photosynthesis remove enough CO2 from the atmosphere to more than neutralise the effects of man made Co2.

You and your ilk on the other hand are dedicated to exaggerating the problem in order to make yourselves important.

I have news for you. The problem can be dealt with so you can go back to your fruit picking job and stop boring us with your fanatical arrogance.

Regardless of this banter

I think we can all safely agree that continuing to consume fossil resources is not the way forward for a civilisation as advanced as ours.

I bet you're wrong. Until/unless we can produce EVERYTHING we use through plants/animals, resources are going to be limited. Even iron.

that I agree with.

We need to consume more responsibly & tidy up after ourselves but filling big business coffers and offshoring our manufacturing to countries that don't respect green issues isn't really the way to go.

Of course he is wrong.
He's going skiing this weekend. What tiny part of that trip would be possible in the world he is wishing on the rest of us ?

he would have to walk, naked, to the resort, then snowboard down the slope on his willy

Other experts have been saying for a while that you should look holistically at the issue.
The planet has regular cycles (called Ice ages and Inter-glacial ages). We are heading for another inter-glacial period. There is nothing we can do about it. We *might* be speeding things up, but that's open to debate when 1 volcano going off lets more CO2 into the atmosphere than the all of the motoring in the UK and Germany for one year (would back this up with some stats but at work ATM) , still its a moot point as all you *might* be able to do is slow it down to it's natural rate.

You could make clothes woven from plant material and skis from a tree. That would be totally sustainable.

weave on what ?
how would you cut the tree down though ?


dont reply on here. because that relies on a plastic keyboard and lekky. work the answer out in your head, then walk round to Scooties and tell him the answer. make sure you dont walk on any roads or pavements, and only eat grass and nettles. Try not listen to any music and no stealing from bins
