Subject: RE: BS: Too Effing Hot!!!
Well, start looking at the environmental damage we're doing around the planet, particularly the amount of Mega-Dams now being built...China used 18 MILLION tonnes of concrete to build The Three Gorges, the biggest damn dam in the world..and they've finally admitted, in May this year, to having major environmental problems because of it, including vast and severe droughts.

Brazil is at this moment fighting, yet again, to overturn an injunction over The Belo Monte Dam (3rd biggest in the world if it's built) brought in last week..and they will then build SIXTY *more* dams in The Amazon Rainforest...

Chile and Peru have recently pulled out of their Mega Dams, although this may be only temporary....

It's the new 'black'....to have your own Damn Dam and make it BIGGER than anyone else...

Total fucking insanity! And we will ALL suffer because of it...

I truly feel that the people making these decisions are completely out of their brains on Cocaine...so fuelled with Cocaine Confidence that they can not only convince themselves it's a GREAT idea, but convince others likewise...
