I am quite happy to recycle what I can but I have just had a thought about these doom mongers who harp on about global warming.

Do you remember those guys (especially in the US) who used to wander the streets wearing sandwich boards saying the end of the world is nigh. And do you remember that we would just ignore them (if they were lucky) or throw things at them ( if they were unlucky enough to be surrounded by a group of bored eight year olds). My theory is that those people who used to wear sandwich boards are the very same who are now telling us about global warming.

Same message just different spin. "if you don't recycle, we're doomed"

Just a thought!

Well I don't remember them but have seen and made use of compelling data nonetheless. In short, I hate the doom sayers and peddlers of hysterical fear probably more than anyone, simply because they make the things I work on harder than they need to be. But in the end, reasoned scientific thinking gives one conclusion and its a bad one.

I'd start cycling to work, not kidding. We're in trouble.
