haha, i've actually turned off the radiator in my room. I don't need it! Even with the cold snap we had the other week all I had to do was leave the PC on for a couple of hours and the room was roasty-toastyLinz said:460 idle omfg

In the Uk and USA, the Green Lobby (Green Brigade) are an increasingly powerful political/lobbying group who oppose anything they see as contributing to 'global warming'.naffa said:
They are particularly vocal about large, gas-guzzling 4x4 type vehicles which they don't feel folks should have.
They are very keen on banning ordinary, filament lightbulbs for example, to force us all to use the energy-efficient types.
I imagine they would love to ban the new mega-power graphics cards on the basis we don't 'need it' either.
They get annoyed when you suggest global warming causation is a global taxation scam riding on the back of natural cyclic changes, not least Sol (the sun) increasing output mysteriously over the past few years -something quietly worrying NASA, among others.

Yeah but..No but...Yeah but..
I was planting trees long before 'green' issues became fashionable. I have 40 baby conkers in me shed ready spring (really!). My car is a wee Yaris and I get 70MPG+ day in, day out.
It's a fairly massive subject, but I do believe warming is cyclical and inevitable. Just like mini 'ice ages' are. In fact when the North Atlantic Drift switches off, and some scientists think it will imminently, the UK will be plunged into just such a mini ice-age. Think kilometers deep of snow and ice, serious sh**
But that will help cool that Quaddie some
Sorry to be flippant on something so serious
hard to handle otherwise. The New World Order and Military-Industrial Elite have cottoned onto the fact there is much money to be made from scamming the Little People the warming is our fault, because it is credible. No need to rig another few Manhattan buildings with Thermate. No, it will be just as profitable as the wars they create.
