I'm a pariah here in NZ. Of course, it's indisputable that global warming is happening, but I'm yet to be convinced as to the true causes.
That it is the result of human activity (as opposed to a cyclical ecological event) is like a religion to some. Question it, and you are treated like a leper. |

| i worry about how much oil and gas ect are being extracted from the earth, i think this could be part of the cause. we are not just destroying the part of the earth you can see but deep down as well. |

I hope this doesn't betray my pitiful knowlege of the oil production process, but I too have wondered about what is happening where all the oil was drilled from. Are there great, gaping subterranean caverns that were once filled with oil? What would that do to the planet's structure?
Is it all going to collapse in upon itself someday? Probably making an idiot of myself here, but usually you need to replace something to stop a gap. |

Thats really wierd you should ask about the space left behind after the oil is sucked up, because I was discussing that very same thing with a friend only two days ago!!! and the answer is.......................................
Don't know  |

With regards being"green" I do what I can, only have "A" or where possible "AA" rated white goods, don't flush the toilet EVERY time, have a bucket in the shower to catch and use "run off" water in the garden. I re-use carrier bags till they fall apart,always turn off lights, and NEVER have TV on standby!! Any other ideas? I am happy to do more.

| trouble is the take off and landing twice when flying to get. we always support the trnc and would never fly into larnaca. it does pose a eco problem thought. we also have a pool, a small above ground pool people argue that it is not eco friendly. in the evening all the wild birds come to drink from it, so i'm doing my bit for the wildlife instead. always save our efes bottles for return, financially sensible. we are fed up with going to the beach and sitting in rubbish, just don't go anymore. fields growing plastic page plants really p--- me off. kibtec just doing there bit to conserve energy as we now have a powercut and i'm running on borrowed time! god bless kibtec! |
