Thread: is the drought caused by..........

All those greenies driving VW combis are to blame lol

Nah Ravoercare said it in 1, just on the down hill run, only a few million years to go for us humans.

Developing low or zero emission technology to pass on to the major producers would also be productive, but for this to happen here the price of energy would have to rise dramatically. It probably will anyway, as China and India's appetite for energy increases, and this will make for an automatic reduction in emission growth.

*One of the things that concerns me about the majority of the younger generation is the complete absence of concern about waste of resources, but this is probably not the place to go into that, although if this concern existed it would go a long way toward reducing emissions.

Well put - agree with all of that now

I think a lot of people out there could benifit from living on a farm for a few days with 1 power line supplying several houses.

You turn a light on and all the other lights in the other huses dim so you have to make sure everything is off unless you really need it and phone lines get easilly overloaded and you have very limited water which is directly proportional to how much it rains so there are no 1/2 hr showers or washing cars and watering gardens unless it is with waste water.

If people in the city lived by 1/2 of that then emissions would drop dramatically but I also dont think it would change the fact that we are in drought.

You were lucky, we had 36 volt, a generator and convertor to run the B&W TV

Water tanks with dead birds floating on top

Oh those were the days..... NOT!
I hate filling and relighting that stinking smoking kero fridge

Who was it that won an award for his global warming theory that stated our sea was going to rise between 8 and 88cm in the next 100 years or so? Shows how much the so called scientists know about it. To me that is a huge variation in estimates.

i can do better than that damo !we live without mains power {generators only which we only use when we need to},and we only have 10500 litres of water storage........just to prove it can be done{not}and you are correct if people had to live without the things they take for granted and made to realise what it takes to provide them the world would be a better place!

limited resources and conservation is a seperate issue....but...,.global warming..imo ...it is 10% science and 90% politics of fear by various groups..........spin spin spin....yes the weather is going about its cyclic nature and yes us humans are well.....some arrogant enought to think we can control it...some(many) reckon they can profit by it...some reckon they can get voted in on the back of it...conservation on the other hand is an issue that is real and will hit us in real ways....but it too will be/is clouded by the spin doctors...it is hard to know exactly what the real situation is.....
the solution is

get into the bush while it hasnt burned and while you can afford the fuel!!!!!!!!
