    I much prefer the earler version where the mummy and daddy dinosaurs are wringing their hands with grief at having caused an earlier period of GW, wheelspinning their 4x4s all over terra firma, whilst simultaneously having belching and trumping contests.

    Indeed, the only oil that can be used in my motor is this one.

    You can make petrol out of CO2 and sunlight.

    Simples.

    Who needs oil, we just need more CO2 and a sunny day.

    When I was at school 30 years ago, it was predicted that we'd run out of oil in 30 years time... funily enough that's the current prediction too...

    Now I'm not daft enough to think that oil won't run out at some point, however it's not this week.

    I don't remember 1998 as being particularly warm, only as the year David Beckham got sent off, David Batty missed a penalty, and Scotland lost to Morocco in the world cup.

    Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning

    Hows about


    Melting at the ice-caps, means more fuel tax
    Cows fart in tune, more greenhouse effect soon


    etc.

    Me too. To be fair, the politicians back then did not have the nerve to try and wheedle tax money out of the populace to overcome the effects of this "Ice Age", unlike the current bunch of charlatans. All it needs to stoke things up is a ready supply of gullible knuckleheads like sg to buy into the propaganda and we are all stuffed.
