Thats ok Biggles, I have already been labled the Armchair Chemist (at least I got labled, worse to be ignored or forgotten),
Meanwhile "if it dont coke, then it aint broke"....

I rely on the old combustion test (still used in CSI Labs), burn the sh1t out of it and see.... Blow torch theory, if you are wrong its hard to prove with remaining evidence....

If they can make us believe Global warming is happening because of us then they can tax us for it ,
Naturally occuring ? our emissions maybe slowing things down ? nothing to tax us for

Er! Ian, they can tax you for anything they like,to qualify, you only need to be born.

Can you just imagine how silly all this would sound if A virus or parasite attacks and kills rice......
How many people in the world need Rice????? Hmmmm, a few anyway.
Alot of these issues seem to reflect the position thatone is viewing them from.
Can you really explain what the CO2 effect is (or supposd to be) to a hungry child...
I do think Ireland will have to pay 278 Million because of our inability to meet our agreed Kyoto targets,,, Its real money. I wonder who gets this money,

If its true that mankind really has had a negligible effect, then what I find scary is the amount of money involed in this. I mean I'm not just talking about research jobs etc. The global warming issues get mixed up with pollution issues a lot cos they seem one and the same, and to some extent they are. Just think about the money the motor & marine industry has spent developing cleaner engine technology for example just to meet targets set by I dont know who for emissions

One things for sure, its good old joe punter who will pay as usual

With you on this one!!

If you are a 'non-believer' you might enjoy 'State of Fear' by Michael Crichton which puts another angle on the whole global warming issue (as well as challenging some of the basic precepts). It might be just a story but it's compelling in the Da Vinci Code ‘is-it-isn't-it’ mould!

HiIan, I am just thinking that they do like to have something to talk about.
However if something like a Rice Crop crashes worldwide, or a world wide pandemic, then this bullshit will go away for a while... that is unless the Tabloids start writing about Wayne Rooney of Man Utd ankle or similar..
