They are not that noisy. Sure, when you are directly underneath, but at a healthy distance there is not too much noise.Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101808317736275755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-9936513384548039222009-10-18T08:57:26.520+11:002009-10-18T08:57:26.520+11:00Read this; http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/the...Read this; http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/the-book-that-will-make-the-greens-turn-puce-1916598.html<br /><br />It's available from the 20th here; http://www.amazon.com/SuperFreakonomics-Cooling-Patriotic-Prostitutes-Insurance/dp/0060889578<br /><br />The global warming story looks to be a big big scam!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-20249777706053059752009-10-17T22:35:41.682+11:002009-10-17T22:35:41.682+11:00"Global warming" has become a hot-button..."Global warming" has become a hot-button issue that divides people and stops progress.

I think wastage alone is a huge problem and I cringe when walking past shops filled with cheap, mass produced stuff that ends up as junk before the blink of an eye. Overpopulation, golly gosh that is a biggie, but what can we do to stop people breeding who through poverty cannot even feed themselves; and if we can stop people having children who cannot properly care for those children, those poor little darlings who end up as another DOCS statistic among the many others we don't even hear about, bring it on.Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765993736554383626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-29284168692811265812009-10-16T15:52:42.746+11:002009-10-16T15:52:42.746+11:00hells, i'll be around soon. i've been away...hells, i'll be around soon. i've been away and no internet to boot. but i think of you with a grin, be sure of that.<br /><br />xo!kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-82632310574044885342009-10-16T13:46:51.276+11:002009-10-16T13:46:51.276+11:00Wow!

I think that some of the climate change is a natural occurence, remember, when the vikings landed in Greenland, there were grapes growing there, and it is called Greenland after all. That being said, what we do has to have some negative affect on the environment. Car exhaust and factory smoke are not natural by products of the eco system.

I agree it's much more than light bulbs and shower heads... <br /><br />Religion needs to release it's grip on women's ovaries and get the heck out of politics.<br /><br />and here's something to ponder with your morning cuppa ... <br /><br />"The stupendous timespans of the evolutionary past are now part of common culture. We and the biosphere are the outcome of more than four billion years of evolution, but most people still somehow think we humans are necessarily the culmination of the evolutionary tree. That's not so. Our Sun is less than half way through its life. We're maybe only the half way stage. Any creatures witnessing the Sun's demise 6 billion years hence won't be human — they'll be as different from us as we are from bacteria."<br /><br />Martin Rees, <br />(Professor of Cosmology & Astrophysics, Cambridge)Bimbimbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427788003822538655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-20799803012882758572009-10-16T08:56:33.333+11:002009-10-16T08:56:33.333+11:00What a powerful and brillant post Baino!Well done ...What a powerful and brillant post Baino!Well done and I agree on all the points you are making,the onew we need to do!Candiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820349874923006162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-69698685579902961532009-10-16T08:51:55.615+11:002009-10-16T08:51:55.615+11:00Kick arse post, mate.

Small things - if done by everyone - will make a difference.<br /><br />My head hurts - so much crap put out by government for so many years now, when more active solutions could have been done in that time......<br /><br />Rant over now - will go for a run instead.Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-79401160907593649672009-10-16T08:45:06.044+11:002009-10-16T08:45:06.044+11:00great TT post.
