A film, an event, an inconvenient truth

Who gives a shit Roland – you can’t barbeque a lettuce leaf…

baked beans and lentil burgers cause global warming though

actually, barking toadie, I underatnd that if we all became vegetarians the planet would be in much healthier state: in terms of greenhouse gases, biodiversity, general impact on the planet.

I blame the tree hugging hippy vegos for
not eating meat. Tuck into a big t-bone you
hippies for Gaia’s sake.

At http://antigreen.blogspot.com/ there’s an post about farting/burping cows contributing 10% of our greenhouse gases and how the state gubbmints are going to stop it

Its burps actually – ruminants punch way above their weight in the methane producation department – but the majority of gas leaves the beast via it’s mouth – hence my breath freshener comment on another thread…

I’m of the opinion that it’s all cow’s flatus…

Thumper – despite commonly held views, atmospheric ozone depletion (the ‘hole” in the ozone layer) and climate change are to a great extent separate issues – the relationship exists because the major league ozone depleting substances – CFCs have a high CO2 equivalence and the adopted alternative gasses, mainly HFCs have a high CO2 equivalence but don’t burn a hole in the ozone layer.

Basically a ‘hole’ in the ozone layer wont make the world any hotter – you’ll just get sunburned quicker. The good news is that by effectively stopping the use of CFCs and by limiting and reducing use of the other ozone depleters, namely HCFCs and methyl bromide the atmospheric balance of ozone will return – eventually. Climate change on the other hand is a completely different kettle of monkeys….

“Film of the year”??? Box office figures don’t support that claim.

The enviro-nazis will be out in force for this one and chrissie and deb will claim the event a huge success because all the acolytes will be singing from the same hymn sheet.

The zealots will emerge from the theatre nodding their heads convinced of al’s claims that the sky is falling because of global warming. The same types were convinced the sky was falling 30 odd years ago because of global cooling as we entered the new ice age.

A bit like terry lane from the age, they’ll believe it’s true because it’s what they want to believe.

And, of course, all these tree hugging lefty latte/chardonnay sippers (don’t ya just love gratuitous stereotyping) will leave their cars at Manuka and walk home to help al’s cause and deb and chrissie will smugly pedal away on their recumbent bicycle built for two.
