Thread: climate change effects to v8 disco2

If we do absolutely nothing about carbon or global warming we will only get dirtier air....eg China. Over a long time.....I mean a really long time this may cause the snowball earth effect to happen before the sun cooks us. The moon has an enormous stabilising affect on the Earth but is moving away from Earth by 4cm per year. This could cause complete unbalance of our polarity and the equator could become frozen over and destroy up to 80% of life on Earth as we know it, including homo sapien. This may also happen before the snowball or the giant bbq. But enjoy as many dinners as you want, you will never, ever know anything about it, it is so far into our future.....and no ....you do NOT reincarnate so cannot look forward to observing any of it, whichever happens first.

Now that's just rubbish....we do reincarnate.... I was thinking the best solution would be to fit the 95% of Land Rovers still on the road in 500 years time with a time travel module in the dash. Then we could go back to the 90's and fill up with cheap fuel, drive around on ungated tracks all day and be back to the future in time for dinner. That way we are always using fuel that doesn't exist anymore and so will never run out. It's a plan I devised back when I was Einstein, I just updated the model of car to suit.

however taxing companies based on their amount of carbon dioxide emissions is not going to reverse these processes, the government is so short sighted....

No they are not, it is just a way of increasing the GST by stealth. Remember Howard said the GST would stay at 10% and all states must agree if there are any plans to raise it!! Juliar got around that nicely didn't she??? Politicians, they even make second hand car salesmen seem like saints!!!!!
