This will be my last post on this subject coz I am just repeating my self now. The handfull of GW skeptics left can argue their point point till the cows come home but The facts are GW is happening now and man is the major contributer.

Earth is our only home and will be for a very long time so lets start looking after it. It is our lifestyle and over consumption that is pushing our Earths fragile ecosystem to its limits, it will come back and bite us on our bottoms unless we get our heads out of the sand and do something about it.

Australia is the worlds largest per capita emmiter of CO2 closely followed by the US but our spineless pollies can't even sign up to the very reasonable targets set by Kyoto, truly pathetic. There is no need to point the finger at China either their per capita emmisions are 6 times smaller than ours and despite the lack of political leadership from Australia and the US at least they admit global warming is a real problem and are doing something about it despite an enormous population of over 1300 million.

My hat goes of to the likes of Tim Flannery, Al Gore, David Attenborough and others that have bought GW to the mainstream despite the obstacles placed the way by vested interests.

I am very passionate about this subject so my apologies if I put anyones nose out of joint Ooorooo
