Are you tired of this latest green trend dribbling out of the mouths of politicians?

let's face it no matter how we cut down on harmful substances and recycle in western europe and the whole of the 1st world, the devestating economic boom of China with their gradual but huge increase in car ownership, will make our attempts to slow down global warming completely insignificant, and as ridiculous as tony blair's presence on earth

No. I am not.





I agree that China and India, the worlds two largest economies have to do more, much more about greenhouse gases, but then so does the USA. Remember, the USA has 2% of the worlds population, and is responsible for the largest amount of greenhouse gases being produced in the world.





True, China is going to overtake it, but then China has the world largest population. Unless we in the west make the first steps, we can not expect China and India to follow.
Reply:Yes.......a load of rubbish.!!
Reply:so... let's just forget it and add to it so it happens 2 times as fast?





I share your concerns... but the west is doing their part as well in polluting... but for it to be effective... someone must bring China to the table... granted...





if many of the scientists are right... the effects will grow more visible... and that's when real change will occur...

Reply:YES. Particularly when:





1. Al Gore, John Edwards, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Trudie Styler, Barbra Streisand, etc. are so elitist that they do not live by the rules they prescribe for the rest of us poor slobs and clodhoppers, and





2. The so-called "solution" is some meaningless band-aid attempt designed to make the politician and his myrmidons feel good about themselves instead of actually doing something substantive.

I'm fed up of the latest 'Must re-cycle' 'It's down to the individual' 'two week collections are helpful' - ITS A LOAD OF CRUD !!!!!





Government national and local DUMPING on ordinary people rather than tackling the real issue.





'As an individual you ARE EVIL AND DESTROYING THE PLANET IF YOU DON'T SEPARATE YOUR WASTE IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT AND YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY MORE'





'Really ??????? So where is the pressure on stores / food producers to reduce packaging? Why are councils using this as an excuse to charge us extra for reduced services? Why is a percentage of stuff taken to be recycled actually dumped in land fills as it is not the correct standards / there are no recycling facilities nearby? Where is the realisation that even if we did recycle it would be like peeing on a forest fire as the REAL damage is as you say from China / USA ?? What about the people who are not in a position to recycle in this way (Old people, people without transport etc) ??





And the supermartkets are just as bad 'We will charge you for plastic bags' - Well, Where will the money from this 'charge' go - into general profits or to charity ????? If they do stop using disposable bags altogether, How much money will be saved ?? Why don't they just ban them and provide strong paper bags from re-cycled paper ?????????





If the plans that are on paper actually go ahead councils are in for a MASSIVE NASTY SHOCK. Remember the poll tax riots? Well I think this will be a lot worse.
