Because it isn't Global Warming anymore as that is too easy to dismiss, it's now Climate Change, meaning any weather that deviates from the mean is NOW ALL YOU 4x4 DRIVERS FAULT.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View Post"Same here. It will be my grand-childrens' problem. Sod global warming as well for the same reason..."
Why is global warming always seen in such a negative light. If the UK gets warmer then we burn less to heat our houses of the future.
HTH

In seventy five years time, I think all I'll be concerned about is whether I managed to not piss myself and soil my underwear. Sort of like when you've been out on the lash at the moment then!!!!Originally posted by snaw View PostIn 75 years time I'll be well over one hundred.

Thank god for New Labour and their zero tolerance to immigration controls.
