But what it has to do with climate change is beyond me so


the connection is (apart from thread drift) is that people choose their own pet route to climate re-habilitation by championing their pet hobby.
Carefully ignoring that other constituents can be utilised in precicely the same methodology. And smoking dope has another side effect - blinkers.

The only way the world will truly wake up to the problem is when it hits our pockets. In cashless societies starvation is the motivator.

The ultimate problem with global warming, may very well turn out to be water resources. Think Middle East or Darfur, they tell you it is religious or ethnic but how much water do they have? Why is Isreal still occupying the Golan heights? And drilling them to send water eastwards?
Population growth only exacerbates this. Why does London & SE England want more water from 100 miles away? Because they are wedded to the wages there - and don't see that the area can't support the numbers properly. Make 'em pay the correct price and reality will bite.
I was told 15 years ago that LA tap water was more expensive than petrol. Even if that was an exageration, but the resident didn't deny it. And what is the Californian "crisis talk" of this year?
