lol - doom and gloom, i bet some of your friends also wear foil on their heads to protect themselves from govt departments trying to read their thoughts - hehe

Global Warming - what a joke.  billions of dollars in gas bagging and a few million to do anything about it.

That particular guy I mentioned is about 66 years old, married, with two grown up kids (one works for gov't). He used to work as a financial controller for a few companies, with the last job having about 50 people reporting to him (including myself), they are multi-millionairs. She is a certified accountant that for the last few years ran her own business. They never did any farming in the past, but decided to retire to that setting, for a few reasons, peak oil being one of them.

Yeah, some of my acquaintances wear tinfoil hats, but lately a lot of stuff that used to be concidered tinfoil is now all of the sudden common knowledge :)

Also, just in case you missed this, USA passed a bill in the US House (now they have to accept it in Senate) that gives a blank cheque to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Basically, allowing US treasury to print money to rescue them. With both of them having 5 trillion mortgages on their books, the rescue will be catastrophic for the US dollar in the medium term... Just giving people here heads up..

Interesting topic. Recently I went to a talk regarding global warming for work. Apparently scientist have been saying from around 1950s that there is a problem but I suppose most politicians and others, either needed more proof, or couldnt see it as a huge threat. Here is a link I found that shows interesting graphs http://www.planetforlife.com/gwarm/glob1000.html.

I cant see how it would hurt to be greener and I definitely aint no greenie. Why not use solar energy or gas to run a household?

Here is a link to one of the best climate sites around. They are very good at debunking crap like the article Lucan posted:)
