Eco Party- 6 June

Eco Party- 6 June

bloody hippies

 Agreed.

thanks FM- all i need to keep the topic at the top

Whats your address- ill airfreight some tix to the Nthrn Hemisphere





ps do you moonlight on the F365 forums?

Doesn't air freight ad to your Carbon Footprint?  

probably, but a party aint a party without a Northerner at it- or so i've heard

So you only care about the earth when your not throwing parties to show how much you care about the earth?

Ok, I'll do that.....

And I'll drive there using bio-fuel made out of corn, before getting on a boat made to run on bio-fuel made from corn. I'm sure you'll love that, though I don't know if the 2 or 3 starving families will..... Pure Genius2008-06-03 20:51:28

hey it's not only staving people who like the corn - ever heard of corn chips? popcorn? Kornies? the band Korn? corn movies? cornucopias?  creamed corn? stick your bio-fuel up your cornhole

I'm a self-confessed "greenie", but I actually agree with you Food is more important than fuel, the cost of producing biofuel includes the impact on whoever misses out on that food. Biofuels is defiantly an idea that needs some work, I don't see it as a practical option at this point.

That being said, we've hit peak oil, and global warming is unfortunately a fact of life. I'd rather try and do something proactive rather than just stick my head in the sand out of denial and/or ignorance.

The point of parties such as this one is simple - to celebrate the successes we've made, to help get the facts out to members of the general public who come along for the gigs, and simply to have fun. It's planned to be carbon neutral, so there's no hypocrisy. Just fun and a good message. If it's not your kind of thing, fair enough, but I'm sure there's better things you can do with your time than hassling people who are just trying to be responsible.

Keep up the good work Salmon07, might see ya there.

I'm so there.

God I'm such a sterotype. *angst*

:P

Wouldn't mid seeing/hearing an arguement against the idea that the earth warms/cools in a cycle! approx every 30 odd years the earths temp rises/decrease some, infact there is evidence to say that the polar ice caps were once green as was Greenland etc, infact one arguement against global warming is the fact that Greenland is several degrees colder than it ever has been, whilst I'm not dissing all the "global warming theories" I don't tend to suscribe to the theory that we ar impacting on the warming thing as much as we are lead to beleive.

AH! so thats why they call you the prof!

 What's the dress, beard, woollen cardie,short shorts, soxs and sandels  

Eh? Care to explain this?

Certainly....

Don't want to get into an involved discussion over this, but to blame proponents of global warming for famines in the third world is a bit misguided.
The problem with third-word countries and the food shortages there is multi-layered and has existed long before any concerns about global warming were publicly aired. The problems range from political (both external and internal, and including colonial legacies, corrupt and incompetent regimes, etc), social and educational, and even environmental. The sad reality is that the world produces enough food to comfortably feed everyone, but because of the various factors involved (and which clearly pre-date concern over global warming and biofuels) starvation and food shortages are still an all too common sight in the third world.

Bio fuels add piss all to the problem.

i don't like biofuels either, but "govts. etc (Al Gore is a prime example) made it up" - where did you see that? on TV? or the internet? have you taken it as gospel? I BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING COS I SAW IT ON TV?!...[veins pop out on forehead...chest tightens...] you should write a letter saying the to New Scientist, i'm sure you'll change a lot of people's minds
Cosimo2008-06-04 19:14:38

wait, if i get people to believe in global warming, CHACHING!! i'll be rich! WHAT THE f**k HAS BIOFUEL GOT TO DO WITH IT OIL'S RUNNING OUT FFS IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING OR NOT IT'S A FINITE RESOURCE GOD'S NOT MAKE MORE AND CHUCK IT BACK INTO THE EARTH
Cosimo2008-06-04 19:19:56

someone obviously has an agenda...oh wait, you only have an agenda if you make up global warming to get rich...wish i made up global warming! like Al Gore!

um, so there's more...BUT IT'S INFINITE!! wow, that's amazing -the world would have to be infinitely large, but hey, it must be!

Oh THE BOTTOM LINE! NOT THE ONE THAT OIL COMPANIES/CORPORATIONS USE? THE ONES THAT HIPPIES USE! DAMN RICH HIPPIES AND THEIR BOTTOM LINE!

Apparently their is a big oil field in northern Canada that is so big it puts most others to shame but access to it in such an isolated  environment is stalling oil companies attempts to go for it.
