Our relationship with the Environment
Jan 26^th, 2014 at 2:06pm

There seems to be some problem on the Environment Board with concerns about bans and 'honest debate.'

On matters of climate change and global warning, I have no fixed position as I am ignorant of the science. I therefore would not be able to come to any conclusion about what is or is not 'honest debate,' as others claim to be able.

So, whoever wants to.....fell free to have a ban free (well, within the usual limits) discussion here, and you'll be quite safe from arbitrary judgements about what is 'honest' and what is not, 'cause I wouldn't know!

SOB They don't know, for sure. Just as we don't know, for sure, that humans are contributing to global warming on Earth.

Greggarypeccary thinks that Curiosity has 4 wheels, and he'd probably argue that we don't know for sure. It's a 6x6 Independent All Wheel Drive. (And it uses nuclear power)

OK, if that's your standard, I rest my case. You think it has 4 wheels, not 6.

It's not easy being green.

No No. You just posted it, so you obviously agreed with the sentiment. I'm not very inventive when it comes to mindless name calling... er testicles deprived of physical sensation (will that do?)

The following picture shows a tree taken in 2003 and 2007 (right). I guess that you'd state (in your capacity as honest greggary - an unbiased observer of course) that this proves global cooling Grin

You are so funny.

Yes, that's right.

I think there are green men on mars complaining about vehicles from Earth being sent to their planet.

I also believe that these green men speak English. They can't count very well, and they don't understand what 4-wheel drive is, however, they can speak English perfectly well.

Have another drink, muso.
