Re: About Time?
Interesting subject there, biut one I do not believe. Last year we had the UK leading scientist on the climate out here in Oz. Interviewed on TV he was asked to exopalin his version of the climate anfd what he thought was occuring. His first comment,
" firstly if you want the truth you must take the politics out of this argument, then you will see the true picture, the fact that the climate is a continuing changing living thing and thast many gov employed scientists use weather patterns and cycle to bolster their commenst thus giving the gov what thye want to hear'.
Interestingly only a few weeks ago it was revealed that Greenland a couple of million years ago was just that, Greenland with no ice, and at that time Ireland was tropical. Also in the southern oceans one side of the ice shelf is now thicker and wider than ever seen before. The latest theory is that strong winds are now whipping up the seas near the south pole and causing somei ce flows to break into smaller pieces. So who is kidding whom?
On the issue of renewable energy , Birmiongham university after a five year study have concluded that wind power is the least efficient and most expensive way to generate power.


Happy daze John in Oz.
