It seems global dimming has made us under-estimate the seriousness of the current effects global warming has.
Global dimming is protecting us somewhat from the sun light itself (the reason why it’s still hotter is because of the green house gases – Not the sunlight itself).
Now we are cleaning our air, global dimming will fall – And we will be exposed by the full force of the sun’s rays.
Great Britain is set to turn into a climate similar to that of North Africa in just a few decades.
We need to cut greenhouse gases, we cannot just simply clean the air.
WHY ISN’T THE GOVERNMENT DOING ANYTHING?
Do we just not care about our children’s & grandchildren’s future?
I know you lot don’t, as you’re all selfish commie b*stards – But I care – As I am civilized.

They are doing something, there spending our money to try and get us to vote for them.
In the grand scheme of things, if the whole of britain was 100% green, people, produce the lot, China would still over rule it with their emitions.
We simply must use cars to get to work, unless the government make fuel illegal, which they wont, because they dont care. Global warming is not the threat posed, its a political scam to draw attention away from bad headlines, and make us think government care…and those people who arnt in government telling us something is wrong, there like a branch of government or other politicians.
Think about it this way, we humans are NOT going to stop global warming, and there will be another ice age, humans have survived them, so dont worry.
1 February, 2007 at 12:56 pm #258494This is a really serious issue Tommy, and you’re right to raise it here.
The Government cannot do anything, it’s up to the people to do something about this terrible scourge of global warming that has become so fashionable amongst the chattering classes recently.
Following the principle that ”the polluter pays” we should all be prepared to pay substantially more taxes. Those that don’t pollute can have a rebate. This will stop pollution overnight.
Following Richmond-upon-Thames Council’s brave lead, we should all pay vastly increased charges for parking our cars outside our houses. This will instantly penalise polluters and reduce global warming at a stroke.
All forms of air transport should be immediatly abolished, as it is a well known fact that aeroplanes are a prime cause of upper air pollution.
All street lights across the entire countryshould be turned off permanently so as to reduce electricity consumption and thus, at a stroke, reduce global warming.
Central heating should be prohibited by law and all plumbers that instal it should be ostracised by society, as they are a major cause of the planet’s problems.
Fianlly, we should deal with the main creators of global warming gas – methane!!! All cows across the entire world should be slaughtered (especially the fat ones) so as to prevent them emitting the current vast levels of methane gas. (This may cause issues with the Hindu population – but you cannot save the planet without upsetting a few people).
The skins of these cows could be used to clothe all the peoples of the world (except the Hindus) so as to reduce their need for central heating and thus provide a further benefit to mankind. Their meat could also be used to feed the starving and thus alleviate global poverty. (The Hindus would have to continue eating rice).
As concerned citizens of our planet, I feel certain that we will all get behind this plan to save civilization as we knew it.
1 February, 2007 at 1:36 pm #258495Your all mad, most of it is worthless.
China is building 1 new coal fired power station a week for the next 7 years.
There nothing we can do to stop it.
Some of us were moaning about this 15 years ago and what happened?
Nothing!

2 February, 2007 at 10:45 pm #258499It’s the lyric from a song by the Rolling Stones called “She’s a Rainbow”.
It just seemed appropriate in the light of the multi coloured snow apparently falling from the sky in Russia.
