hey pplz,

Recent studies have shown that global warming has just started in its minimal level of interference and that minimal level is a maximum level for us when we see severe flooding in brisi, unexpected storms in NSW(west), more sharks at beach, etc.

I hate when people say ," I'm not gonning to care when other start caring" (typical saying). Well first you start and it automatically send sthe message across.

Just imagine what is left for a future generation, few tropical beaches, more air borne diease> etc. It was predicted that Fiji's water level is rising drastically 5cm per pear (western area) and probably in the next 3-4 centuries 1/4 of fiji may be gone (who knows).

You guys may think im going nutts, bcoz of my over exageertaion but specifically sending the message across to ppl who does not take it seriously.

Steps that may be taken are>
1) fuel effiecient cars (smart, or etc)
2)ban plastic bags
3)solar panels
4) etc.. keeps going

So plz take this seriously.

feel free to put any good or bad comments. (i'll take it all):idea:
so yea.. signing off

think>:)

Let's assume for a minute the projections of how much carbon emissions need to be reduced by are correct. You'd have to do serious damage to the economy (at least in the short to medium term) to reduce the carbon emissions by the required amount.

Plus Australia is a relatively minor emitter of carbon I just can't see China and India ever cutting carbon emissions substantially.

"We’ll all be rooned," said Hanrahan
In accents most forlorn
Outside the church ere Mass began
One frosty Sunday morn.

The congregation stood about,
Coat-collars to the ears,
And talked of stock and crops and drought
As it had done for years.

"It’s lookin’ crook," said Daniel Croke;
"Bedad, it’s cruke, me lad
For never since the banks went broke
Has seasons been so bad."

"It’s dry, all right," said young O’Neil,
With which astute remark
He squatted down upon his heel
And chewed a piece of bark.

And so around the chorus ran
"It’s keepin’ dry, no doubt."
"We’ll all be rooned," said Hanrahan,
"Before the year is out.

"The crops are done; ye’ll have your work
To save one bag of grain;
From here way out to Back-O’-Bourke
They’re singin’ out for rain.

"They’re singin’ out for rain," he said,
"And all the tanks are dry."
The congregation scratched its head,
And gazed around the sky.

"There won’t be grass, in any case,
Enough to feed an ass;
There’s not a blade on Casey’s place
As I came down to Mass."

"If rain don’t come this month," said Dan,
And cleared his throat to speak –
"We’ll all be rooned," said Hanrahan, "
If rain don’t come this week."

A heavy silence seemed to steal
On all at this remark;
And each man squatted on his heel,
And chewed a piece of bark.

"We want an inch of rain, we do,"
O’Neil observed at last;
But Croke "maintained" we wanted two
To put the danger past.

"If we don’t get three inches, man,
Or four to break this drought,
We’ll all be rooned," said Hanrahan,
"Before the year is out."

In God’s good time down came the rain;
And all the afternoon
On iron roof and window-pane
It drummed a homely tune.

And through the night it pattered still,
And lightsome, gladsome elves
On dripping spout and window-sill
Kept talking to themselves.

It pelted, pelted all day long,
A-singing at its work,
Till every heart took up the song
Way out to Back-O’-Bourke.

And every creek a banker ran,
And dams filled overtop;
"We’ll all be rooned," said Hanrahan,
"If this rain doesn’t stop."

And stop it did, in God’s good time:
And spring came in to fold
A mantle o’er the hills sublime
Of green and pink and gold.

And days went by on dancing feet,
With harvest-hopes immense,
And laughing eyes beheld the wheat
Nid-nodding o’er the fence.

And, oh, the smiles on every face,
As happy lad and lass
Through grass knee-deep on Casey’s place
Went riding down to Mass.

While round the church in clothes genteel
Discoursed the men of mark,
And each man squatted on his heel,
And chewed his piece of bark.

"There’ll be bush-fires for sure, me man,
There will, without a doubt;
We’ll all be rooned," said Hanrahan,
"Before the year is out."

7 years too late. Should've tried that back when I had a conscience.

Actually, the recent increase in shark numbers is a result of cleaner coastal waters and new and improved management practices that protect sharks and other marine creatures.

Climage Change is a serious issue that we must address, but crap like the above only muddies the waters.

I hate fags who rap on abou the environment but in reality are mad hypocrites

i.e. Al Gore gets a shitload of money from royalities from mining on his land. Doesn't make their message any less true but it makes them seem completely shallow

I believe its too late, we can't minimise climate change, all we can do is try to slow it down. But theres too many people in the world that don't really care about it, therefore don't do anything. So basically, we're screwed.

Actually, Australia is a fairly large emittor of carbon. Google it.

Relatively – per capita? Yes, Australia does that.

But in absolute terms? Nope. 1.43 percent of carbon emissions in the world doesn't qualify it as a large emittor. No, that would be misleading.

Google yourself next time. Or re-examine your assertions.

Yes, I was referring to per-capita, as that's the most common way carbon emissions are ranked, and I realise now I should have specified that, so I apologise.

Although, it depends on what you look at as a large emittor of carbon, because Australia is still ranked 15th out of approximatley 194 countries in respect of carbon emissions. I'm not suggesting we abandon all cars and electricity and go back to horse-drawn carts, but I do think we have to take some action.

Mmmmmm... Electrics (cars) are still cool. If you don't mind lugging around a spare battery.

God, what I wouldn't give for a $500,000 Hydrogen7 BMW. My birthday's in less than a month *hint hint!*
