Don't mock, Howard, some of Alex's emissions are highly entertaining.

Dr Saleem H. Ali, professor of environmental studies at the University of Vermont's Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources.
"Avalanches and glacial-lake-overflow floods are likely to become far more common in the Himalayas due to climate change,"
Syed Ayub Qutub - director of Islamabad-based Pakistan Institute for Environment-Development Action Research,
Several reports indicate that the glacial mass thinning and the formation of crevices in the western Himalayas and Hindu Kush is a result of climate change.
Last week, 135 men (124 soldiers and 11 civilians) were buried alive in an avalanche in the Gayari sector of the snowy region. Chances of finding survivors are close to none as rescue teams have been digging in the snow for nearly a week.
The world is changing; we do not need experts or head bangers to tell us that. If you can't see that then you are ignoring a fact.
It could be natural and unstoppable or it could be manmade, all so called experts back both theories, perhaps it's a bit of both, I really don't know.
What I am sure about, is that it is "man and greed" that is exploiting this world and everything in it and the world is suffering because of it.

I hope you include yourself alongside me and my fellow man in the last sentence you wrote.

Agree with Gary.
Climate change is certainly due to natural processes beyond our control, but may also be influenced by man. Carbon and chemical emissions in general, considering the great quantity in which they are released into the atmosphere, are likely to have an effect on atmospheric processes.
From a scientific point of view, it's hard to comprehend how this can be denied.
Philip, perhaps UKIP made an unscientific approach to this problem.

Howard, all I needed was for the Department for Transport to answer my letters regards my representation for Dover's port..
Keith, I do not know of any other person or group in Dover that has campaigned for a reduction of carbon emissions. And I'm pretty sure that you do not know of anyone either

.....Thanks Carol so it looks like a washout over the next few days. Now we're just getting breaking news from trackside in the U-turn Olympics. Clare what can you tell us?
"Yes Huw it seems that the latest U-turn concerns the ministry of defence relay with yet another gold seemingly poised to be placed around the neck of David Cameron. Our U-turn mole at trackside has informed me that In a humiliating reversal, the Prime Minister has agreed to scrapping the aircraft that were due to fly off the troubled warships and replace them with jump jets which he had previously rejected".
"More when we get it Huw".
Well thanks Clare. Other news coming in is that the government has announced that it will indeed allow the process of shale gas extraction known as fracking in order that the lights might, just might stay on..........

Fracking! That's an expensive way to produce electricity!
Gov. just doesn't seem to possess the secret!

Another ill-conceived policy is about to ``U`` turn.Cameron will be told to review the aircraft carrier programme.
The number of `U` turns this government have now made is beyond acceptability.
Credibility in this Government is at an all time low.

let's hope it does not get too complicated and we end up with carriers and aircraft that are compatible.
thinking back i seem to remember us doing a deal with the french that would solve a few problems.
cannot remember the details, i am sure that barry will fill us in.

Howard, are you sure Barry hasn't got the contract to supply them, albeit to a slightly old-fashioned spec if you look at his last building thread

got your drift now ray, a nod is as good as a wink!!
barry pretends it is a hobby in order to counter industrial espionage while really he is working on a prototype for a possible cost effective upgrade to the trident.
all drops into place now.
