Gives idiots like Bolt less shit to chew on I thought they changed the term "global warming" to "climate change" when they realised that some places on the planet were experiencing record low temperatures, shooting a hole in the "global warming" argument. A bit like Tim Flannery who said there was going to be mass flooding on the Australian coastlines then proceeds to buy a waterfront property facing the Pacific Ocean with his big pay packet.:lol: Calling bullshit on this. He bought a house on the hawkesbury. Very different, plus it matters nought irrelevant to argument. The simple fact is all evidence point to climate change, can not be explained any other way. Don't get me wrong I sit on the fence in terms of Climate change, I believe it exists but I don't believe the scientists that sprout their shit. I don't believe the naysayers who say its all climate change doesn't exist. But the truth is politicians use it for their own agenda. A bit like the Greens who say they are pro environment yet the clothes they wear, the cars they drive and the houses they live contradict everything they stand for. As for guys like Tim Flannery, it does bother me that he used to get paid a couple of hundred grand just to give us a weather report for what it will be like in 100 years or whatever. What justifies him getting a huge salary for looking into a crystal ball. Bureaucrats and Pollies have their snouts in the trough one way or the other. Edited by SocaWho: 7/9/2014 07:24:07 PM It works the other way too. Politicians get paid to go against climate change with backing from industries and oil companies. I know. Thats why I don't really trust anything scientists or politicians say, regardless of their persuasion. Rather than just one scientist or scientific study, what about the vast majority of scientists/scientific studies? You do seem like a great global citizen, SocaWho wrote:If you're not in a position to make a significant dent on these issues why bother...lifes too short. - with attitudes like that hopefully Govts do act to address climate change. Its not like I don't care. If Im in a position to make a big difference (as in if I am a politician or a UN ambassador) believe me I would. Its all about being practical. So what are you going to do to save the world tomorrow....buy carbon credits? lol. So how are you going to stop natural disasters like earthquakes,volcanoes,etc. Edited by SocaWho: 10/9/2014 01:51:39 PM Easy thing to do, stop eating meat. I have been vegetarian (a bad vegan) for about 10 years. I have thought about giving away meat. Red meat anyway. Probably still eat chicken though. And no its not an easy thing for some people who have eaten meat all their life, just because you can do it doesn't mean that other people can easily adopt that lifestyle. Theres heaps of things to consider. Its about managing time as well. Salads and vegetables are not very filling also. If you're a big guy and you are used to eating meat, then good luck to converting them. I realise its healthier to not eat meat, and I think at some stage I might turn vegetarian, but if you have a busy lifestyle and you need to keep energy levels up then being a vegan is not very practical for some people.

Was far easier than I thought it would be, biggest issue were my parents, friends and colleagues at work. I don't worry about my diet, in terms of health, that much (probably no more than the average male) - lots of italian food, mexican, stir frys, curries etc. are easy to do sans meat. Also have no problem with faux meat products. And chocolate is also vegetarian (vegan if you like your dark chocolate).
too easy
