So, you are expressing you own opinion, which may be based on evidence that is correct for you and no one else (which is why I try and get my info from several sources), yet are criticising my opinion (which is actually based on info from several sources) despite the fact that November is again unusually hot, as was October and we've just had a weekend of hurricane force winds despite apparently being in what is considered to be a relatively calm zone of the earth for weather..

there's a book you can buy. it's called
1001 Ways You Can Save the Planet: Practical Ideas to Heal and Change the World
not printing the book in the first place would have been a contribution to healing the world.

Actually, some of the newer powders/tablets work more efficiently in warm (15-30 deg C) water than they do in hot water..

I suspect there is something to this global warming phenom although I wouldn't trust them to tell me what the weather will be like in five minutes let alone 100 years. Oh and has anyone noticed how it isn't called global warming anymore but climate change, what happened the globe not actually warming up anymore

It annoys me when people say that we are killing the planet and we can heal and save it from doing certain things.
it can't be healed and it can't be saved, 1 because no amount of money you get taxed to go towards this scam will do it. and 2 because it doesn't need healing or saving.

and 3 we adapt to the changes like we always have done since the first man walked the earth.

The difference between then and now Gary, is that there are in excess of 6 billion humans on the planet. All wanting the same standard of living that we have in the developed world.... We live longer thanks to better medical care. More of us are kicking about because of intensive farming techniques. And to feed the worlds growing population, we cut down the forests, especially the rain-forests at an astounding rate.... Do you really believe we, as a species have No impact on the planets biosphere ?

Overfishing, polution in our rivers and seas. Extremes of weather becomming more the norm.... Flowers comming into bloom in completely the wrong season, animals breeding earlier and earlier in the year, but nothing going on ?

Such arrogance and hubris will be the downfall of the human race from the (alleged) heights we have so far achieved....

Ofcourse, I do believe that we as a species do deserve out baloons being punctured.... But I doubt that the humans alive in 60 - 100 years will thank us for the state of the planet we will leave them.

I saw the interview on the tv earlier, and the chap did say between 2 and 6 degrees C by 2100.... Not his fault the BBC decided to lead with the highest possible value....
