DH and his step dad always joke about the carbon credits or whatever. Talked about printing some up and selling them on Ebay
. I'll have to forward these articles on to his step dad - he'll get a kick out of them.
That said... the movie Gore did - I forget the name of it and the exact facts but a judge in Great Britain somewhere said that the vast majority of the science was faulty or misleading etc., and the articles I read said like 3/4 of the rest of it was things like the 2000 election and nice scenery and waxing poetically. I haven't seen it and probably won't, but I found that interesting.
Not that I remember... but in the 70s, wasn't another ice age coming? I think, like Nan, that the climate is always changing and, while we probably shouldn't go out of our way to make a bigger carbon footprint, going out of our way the other way isn't necessarily necessary either. For instance... we're probably getting a big SUV in the next couple of years - we already have 4 kids and no room for friends etc so that's the next stop. Am I opposed to a hybrid? Not if I can find one in my price range that does what I need it to, etc. Am I going to go spend an extra 8G or whatever it is JUST so I can have a hybrid? No.
I'm with you on those light bulbs TEEEJ. They look funny, apparently they can cause health problems if broken etc., and soon that's all they're going to make :p .
