Socialism/communism is a washout so lets get a new way to rake peoples hard earned wages in to play with.
All those types have piled into the environmentalist lobby if you even mention that it might be crap you are shouted down!
That UN report by 2000? ( some cleaners in there somewhere?)scientists which said we are 90% sure that mankind is to blame??
Not very scientific even by their own standards!!
If there is such a thing as global warming then why in the UK is there a new thing to make sure you've got insulation???
You wont need the heating on if it's hotter???
I remember when there was gonna be a new ice age back in the 70s.That was three day weeks and power cuts and petrol rationing days? then we had the hottest summer ever.
I hate them c? c?? clots??

Welcome to the madness.

I thought “bollocks” is spelled with a double “l”; or is that a device used to immobilize you once you have spent all your carbon credits?

[shaun750]

I've only got one left so thats why i miss out the other L??
Nah can't spell at the best of times and when i'm in ranting mode it all goes out the window!!!

I entirely agree. Here in the UK we don't contribute much CO2, or whatever other gasses are the flavour of the month, to the atmosphere compared with China or the US... yet the Govt are taxing the bejesus out of us with the false claim that it will "make a difference". Will it hell, apart from to our pay packets.

It's all a con and totaly bollocks. The only thing that annoys me is there's nothing we can do about it cos there's no- one else to vote for cos all politicians are so far up their own ars*s they've totaly and utterly lost touch with all reality.

The desire to be a politician should automaticaly bar you from being one.

And, thanks for that link... I'm a grumpy old sod and glad to know that there are others too

[shaun750]

no mate,
The bay love pics??
I got to be honest and say i found them funny,but disturbing??
My only defense is that they were their own kids??? I hope so anyway?
I dont remember being that wicked to my own daughter,but i did flick a belt at her the other day in jest and scratched her arm.
She's saving it to tell it to peeps at the most akward moment?
By the way she's 20,so I'm safe from child line? pheeew!

That's GrumpyOldSod website is very interesting. He sounds like a grumpy old American, just in a more repressive setting.

Relating directly to the global warming debate and physics was this link.....

http://www.grumpyoldsod.com/teaching%20physics.asp

"...The thing that attracts pupils to physics is its precision. Here, at last, is a discipline that gives real answers that apply to the physical world. But that precision is now gone. Calculations - the very soul of physics - are absent from the new GCSE. Physics is a subject unpolluted by a torrent of malleable words, but now everything must be described in words.

In this course, pupils debate topics like global warming and nuclear power. Debate drives science, but pupils do not learn meaningful information about the topics they debate. Scientific argument is based on quantifiable evidence. The person with the better evidence, not the better rhetoric or talking points, wins. But my pupils now discuss the benefits and drawbacks of nuclear power plants, without any real understanding of how they work or what radiation is...."

[Wade]

That's a scary story. Wonder how long it will be before were there? I love physics, the answer had nothing to do with being popular or persuasive. You actually have to think.
