Its not as if we can vote out the world bank.

another thing I find gas and exposes the extreme brashness of it all, say if I wanted to get funding to study a rare type of ciliates in the north irish sea..and got nowhere ,right... well to throw in the global warming thing and state I was a friend of the irish enviroment and want to prevent extinction of these yokes etc etc well begob, Id have instant funding...its almost like a short cut of getting your own way just because its the current fashion of worries ... once again Im NOT saying nature isnt important ..its all we have!!! but I find the tactics used to heighten awareness very manipulative and theyre profiting from it big time,

im starting to grow veg end of spring, interestingly enough I havent seen much encouragement for people to become more self reliant on growing their own food??

i was waiting for the first "extreme underground quantum theory of condensed matter" joke

1) Will going green do more damage to the world than good?

2) Will going green save you or cost you money?

3) Will the implementation of an entirely new energy infrastructure create or eliminate jobs?

Answer those three questions and then give me one good reason why the fuck you would argue against going green...........even if man made global warming was a complete farce.

I was genuinely shocked to see FG coming out with their €10billion, 100,000 job creating speel the other day because it is exactly what needs to be done. Whatever your personal (and of course I'm assuming entirely indepth scientifically comprehending) views on the matter, the solution to the global economic crisis and the global energy crisis - are the same fucking solution!

Renewable energy is the new super industry and, barring everyone joining the Venus Project, it is the only thing of a big enough scope to dredge everyone out of the current mire of shit we're all drowning in. Supposedly.

Correlation does not mean cause and effect. Its something that is always confused by conspiracy nuts. im not saying you are one or think this but ive seen this reason being used by people as "evidence" that global warming is being exaggerated....

Yes, funding is more likely to go to global warming related research but it means nothing more than scientists are being as creative as they always have in trying to get funding.

Im sorry to say that Science is not like music.Mainstream science is mainstream because many many scientists (who tend to know a thing or two) agree with it. "Underground" non mainstream science is usually there because its not correct, or is not backed up with enough evidence.

Going green should be promoted and practised by everyone in whatever way they can.There's so much about the process that pisses me off though.Like why there is technology readily available for kids in africa to have their $100 laptops powered by solar energy,when I'm sitting here with mine plugged into the wall. It's good that governments are starting out technology in these deprived countries on the right foot, but where is our investment? I hear if you want to build a new house now you have to install a certain percentage of renewable energy resources, thats great, but for all the homes already built,compared to how many are currently in production, what difference is this really going to make,even 10 years from now?
