One thing that really bugs me about the climate change debate is the way that variations in the weather seem to be twisted to suit particular points of view.
If the weather’s warmer than at this time last year, global warming is a fact, if it’s cooler, then it’s a fallacy.
MySpace Got Hacked! Did they get your details? I have a little routine of a morning! I grab coffee after stumbling around for a little while, and then settle down to browse and read the news! It’s a great way to wake up, especially when you have a busy day ahead, and need a bit…
A name is what identifies some one in their family and community. The Book Of Proverbs says that a good name is to be desired above gold and silver, although in that sense, it has more to do with a person’s character than what they are called. To avoid confusion, and in order to be…
It’s a long weekend here in Australia this weekend as we celebrate the landing at Gallipoli on April 25th, 1915. One hundred and one years ago, troops from England, France, Senegal, Newfoundland, India, Australia and New Zealand landed at Gallipoli in Turkey in an effort to open another front against Germany and Austria – Hungary….
I must admit that I have tended to take a lot of what has been written about global warming with a grain of salt at times, but now things are getting serious! I don’t know if climate change is due to human activity, and can understand what some say about previous weather cycles, and the…
Perpetuum Jazzile is a Slovenian choir that performs arrangements of popular songs, often A Capella (without backing music). From Wikipedia: Founded as the Gaudeamus Chamber Choir in 1983 by Marko Tiran, Perpetuum Jazzile has been directed since 2001 by Tomaž Kozlevcar, the renowned music producer, arranger and vocalist. July 9th, 2009 was a funny sort…
I found something special in my inbox this morning! A job offer from none other than Apple CEO Tim Cook! I had to turn it down of course. After all, even a $3,500.00 per week job would get a bit tiresome with a commute from regional Australia to the US. Although the email did say…

Thinks – that we do not know the answers and the media should stop trying to be experts. Having said that the scientists are issuing a warning and we must become very conscious of looking after the third rock a lot better

Hey Jim, I totally agree!
The scientists have indeed issued a warning, and we need to keep up to date with their continuing research and reasoned debate.
There are a number of economic issues to be resolved, as well as environmental ones, and it won’t be until all nations take cohesive action that anything will be resolved.
In the meantime, every one who can should be looking at simple solutions in their own home such as installing alternative energy supplies, using rainwater tanks and recycling grey water.
Kevin Rudd’s goal of 20% of Australia’s energy requirements coming drom renewable resources by 2020 is an admirable one, but we need to get started now! (That’s assuming that the whole thing isn’t just a kite flying exercise!)
Along the way, journalists and others in a position to influence opinion need to stop using anecdotal evidence to support flimsy arguments for or against the issue – no one wins with that scenario!
Cheers mate, and happy new year!
