! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
In the last 12 months (since Dave took over at the helm of the Tories) I’ve heard nothing but bloody carbon this, carbon that carbon the other.
Carbon is a pretty inert substance so what exactly is the problem with it? Why has nobody been harping on about carbon footprints or the like before now?
Can someone please tell me why carbon is bad for the environment? Should I start using wax crayons instead of a pencil? Is it only particular types of carbon that are bad for the environment or is it all carbon?
Incidently, a couple of facts on the zero stamp duty “green” tax concession that the Tartan Taxman announced in his mini budget the other day:
- There are, according to the British government, no more than two-dozen homes in the UK that have no carbon footprint
- According to experts, it is impossible to make an old house have no carbon footprint and the cost of building a new zero-carbon footprint house is around £25k extra whilst the stamp duty on a £200k house is approximately £2k.
“Green” taxes aren’t just an excuse to raise taxes, honest.
Good point, since when has carbon been harmful, as you say it is an inert, non toxic substance and isn’t it the 2nd thing in our bodies after water?
Did you say something the other week about acid rain and how it was going to kill us all? Have they solved acid rain now? God they are full of shit, I hope that there is a God to save us from these sanctimonious pricks!
This post have about a year… funny how thinhs is the same here for now uh?
Can someone answer this? I understand the theory behind CO3 going into the atmosphere and destroying (forget the name of that layer). But I don’t understand how “Carbon Dioxide” could be damaging to the environment. Unless I’m misunderstanding it, isn’t that what all vegetative matter breaths in it’s photosynthetis process? (at which point it gives off oxygen)
Is Barak Obama absolutely insane? Or does he clearly know something that I do not?
our civilisation is very finely balanced, with land use, agriculture and weather patterns, once that changes due to rising sea level, temperature variance and altered seasonal effects, it will be a major pain in the ass for lots of people, a few billion of us will die, have to move house or miss out on nice lunch.
The current trend in popular culture, suggests that our industrial out put is responsible for this, other factions say it is part of the natural cycle of the planet and others blame Gordon Brown.
You are American? if you live in Florida, Louisiana or New York city, you will soon be ankle deep in sea
Put a bottle of water in a freezer over night. When you take it out you will see that it has EXPANDED. Thats what water does when it freezes. If global warming is real ( it isn’t), the water level would go down. Not up.
Carbon is one of the key components to life. Thats how it has always been. Because of a agenda to tax the daylights out of us, they want to change reality. TO MANY OF US ARE BUYING THIS HOAX. We are not a cancer to the earth. We are the main component that make the cycle of life work!
Carbon is bad for the environment because carbon emissions actually hold heat in the atmosphere. So the more fossil fuels and such are burned, the quicker the temperature should rise.
Carbon is manditory to survive as well, so don’t only see the bad affects of carbon.All plants and animals need it to survive! The issue, I believe, that we are having is sustaining it. With carbon, we have too much of a good thing.
But it’s getting colder, not hotter.
