Rumours says it that the new organic logo will be cancelled and a new one will replace it! :o

I belive climate change is real, and man-made. Because thats what the scientists have proven. If the scientists ever find that this assumption is wrong I will change my opinion about climate change in regards to the new findings.

What is it you find negative? That farmers will "cease to exist" and all the other things you mentioned. Or that people is worrying about future problems like this? I dont really follow you... :blink:

Why not? I would have understood if you lived in the US of A.. ;)

I am listening to what the scientists say, you know, the smart people. You are, of course, allowed to believe in whatever you like. But don't come here, at this point, and say that climate change/global warming is a hoax, just because you have an hard time to believe its true.. This discussion reminds me about a quote from Mark Lynas:

What are you talking about? Really? It is humans fault we are in this situation. It's pathetic to think otherwise. We have had scientific consensus for a long time now regarding who is to be blamed for the current climate changes and what will happen. All, trusted, science points towards one thing: the climate chnage we are currently experiencing is man-made and will have devastating effects on the whole planet. the climate is undergoing a pronounced warming trend beyond the range of natural variability; the major cause of most of the observed warming is rising levels of the greenhouse gas CO2; the rise in CO2 is the result of burning fossil fuels; if CO2 continues to rise over the next century, the warming will continue; and a climate change of the projected magnitude over this time frame represents potential danger to human welfare and the environment. Scientific consensus could be seen in the IPCC's Third Assessment Report, Working Group 1 (TAR WG1). That report have been endorsed by: * Academia Brasiliera de Ciências (Brazil) * Royal Society of Canada * Chinese Academy of Sciences * Academié des Sciences (France) * Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina (Germany) * Indian National Science Academy * Accademia dei Lincei (Italy) * Science Council of Japan * Russian Academy of Sciences * Royal Society (United Kingdom) * National Academy of Sciences (United States of America) * Australian Academy of Sciences * Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and the Arts * Caribbean Academy of Sciences * Indonesian Academy of Sciences * Royal Irish Academy * Academy of Sciences Malaysia * Academy Council of the Royal Society of New Zealand * Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences * NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) * National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) * National Academy of Sciences (NAS) * State of the Canadian Cryosphere (SOCC) * Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) * Royal Society of the United Kingdom (RS) * American Geophysical Union (AGU) * American Institute of Physics (AIP) * National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) * American Meteorological Society (AMS) * Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS)

Of course organic food wont save the world. But its one small part needed in a big machinery to make it all work. But. Really. Whatever we do it wont be enough or in time..

See. It would be a lot easier if you went by train instead ;)

The earth isn't going to explode, for all we know. But, it is our fault, and we are to be blamed.

Maybe this Wikipedia article can help you understand RSS better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rss ?

Just be careful! Cats can easily become allergic and sick from fish.

In Australia "the organisers of last night’s Earth Hour event say they believe the nation’s power use was reduced by at least five per cent when the lights were turned off for an hour". http://www.thewest.com.au/default.aspx?Men...ContentID=65233 Screenshot for you who missed it: I can't say anything about your situation and where the money goes. But I can say its a big difference between a democratically elected president and a king who haven't been elected by the people.

I don't really know how much CO2 or energy was saved.. The power stations would have been running the same like always and most of them have probably been producing the same amount of energy even if the demand could have been temporary lowered. The King is silly because he is a King. Why should we have a King who wastes all our money on his luxury cars and vacation trips with his family? A true democracy can't be based on the idea of monarchy..

Well, they could, if you want and the RSS-feed/blog has that feature. Green Blog has! Just check the top right header! But the best way is to gather your RSS feeds in a feed reader. These days there are tons of different ones. You can download a feed reader and have it installed on your computer. Or you can use an online feed reader. I use Google Reader: http://www.google.com/reader/ When you like a blog, news site etc you just look for their RSS feed. Most sites has a small RSS icon () or you can find the RSS feed in your browsers address field (most modern browsers has this feature). This is how an RSS feed can look like: http://feeds.feedburner.com/GreenBlog

Indeed it has. If only this was more than just a satire. That picture reminds me about one I saw of two US Segway police officers, who, from the looks, should be walking more than driving the Segway!!! :blink:

Not really a music video, its a video with lots of songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imouuYpKV5c

Some more before and after shots of Sydney: The Philippines: At Bangkok's biggest mall: And the (silly) Swedish king's castle in Stockholm:

Hehe yeah and thats why this forum needs some new "ranks" that doesn't rate people based on their posts, like the current ones does.

Yeah. I know. I liked Greenpeace's demonstration: http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/blog/climate/...mobbed-20080327 There have been not a single coverage about this in Sweden, I guess it's because the right-wing media doesn't want to stir up new debates about the right-wing politicians in Stockholm giving the go-ahead for Bromma airport for another 30 years. <_<

The Europe 2008 Exploratory Committee is sending Simon Robertsen and Thomas Altheimer in July 2007 to canvass the US for a suitable native-born American presidential candidate. The candidate will pledge to run for president in 2008 on a platform of European issues such as enhanced international cooperation, slashing greenhouse emissions, substituting UN for US troops in Iraq, and promoting a federal programme of subsidies for soccer and cricket schools across the nation. America is too important to leave to the Americans! Thomas Altheimer said during a press conference at Chatham House, London. Simon Robertsen said at the same press conference. Europe have set up a website where you can "help Europeanize America", volunteer and get updates on the progress of this "epic campaign". http://www.europe2008.org http://www.europe2008.org/campaignblog.htm

I doubt it but it would be cool. Here are some closer-to-the-surface shots from the Earth Hour event in Sydney this year: Before and after: Melbourne during Earth Hour 2008: http://www.flickr.com/photos/diaz/2370428553/ More pics: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=earth+hour...;ss=2&s=rec
