Look I really need to get out into the garden but some of you green
puritans are getting up my nose. Cards on the table, do the talk now do the walk, your actions cashing the cheques that you mouths are writing. Of course I do realise that you can say anything you like but honesty is always the best policy. Right what am I going on about, Well I belive the majority of this NG users are fairly affluent middle class people and nothing wrong with that but I wonder how many of those people who want to hand peoiple who won't jump on the AGW bandwagon actually practise what they preach. For example what cars do you drive and is there more than one car per family, say, does your partner have their own. Anyone using solar panels windmills? Lets leave it at that. But it's the outspoken warmers I'm after. |

I'll bet you any sum between £1,000 and £10,000 that a new global temperature record is set within the period 2013-2017 inclusive. You can choose any of the 5 temperature series (GISS, NOAA, Hadley, UAH, or RSS) and we'll judge the record against that. We'll both lodge £10,000 with a solicitor, together with the solicitor's fees. You've said that global cooling is taking place often enough and many of us think you are loopy Larry in saying so, but here's your chance to make some hard cash out of someone you've decided not to like. Should you turn down tghe bet, I'll label you a hypocrite. I that "outspoken" enough for you? |

Now I'm expecteing a very economica little vehicle and just the one car answer and a yes to solar panels as you seem so comvinced about the perils of AGW. |

But it's the outspoken warmers I'm after. Well to put my cards on the table. I own three vehicles, a renault megane (new), a fiesta (old) and a VW campervan (very old). I consider myself to be very wealthy in that I am in very good health, live in a lovely house in a nice part of the country with a lovely wife and family. I am also extremely happy. I do not use alternative energy but I do burn log fires and am very frugal with heating (most of the time we don't consider it necessary). We have few "gadgets" in the house and love the simple pleasures of gardening, walking and playing sport and I like the odd pint or three! I'm also into mysticism and I meditate whenever I can. Life's good and I appreciate and am thankful for all that I receive. I accept the facts of global warming but am sceptical over predictions for the future but do see the need for all of us to take responsibility for our use of resources on this (still beautiful) home we call Earth.

But it's the outspoken warmers I'm after. I am not one of those (outspoken warmer) and probably not one of those either (affluent middle class). I am retired and have been so since I was 51. I have one car with a 1600 engine. I am considering trading down to a shiny new vehicle with a one litre engine. Its emissions are low enough that I would not have to buy a tax disc, my insurance would fall significantly and my petrol consumption would be halved. Would I do this to help save the planet or merely to reduce my expenses by a few hundred pounds per year? Does it matter so long as I do it? The house has gas fuelled central heating and is double glazed and insulated insofar as the latter is possible in an old stone cottage. I keep the house at a sensible temperature during the day (21 downstairs, 18 upstairs) except in summer when the heating is off. The heating is off at night all year round. Hot water is on demand, not in a tank. I switch electrical equipment off when not in use, rather than leave things on standby (even my hi-fi and that is better left on), however my router, network switch, and server are permanently on. I use low wattage fluorescent lighting throughout the house and by choice - there are still plenty of power hungry alternatives. No windmills or solar panels as the benefits are minimal in my situation. -- Gianna Peterhead, Scotland buchan-meteo.org.uk |

My car is a humble suzuki ignis 1300 petrol. I've had it from new and as my lileage is so low it's really not worth part exchanging it. It's just over five years old and I have 18000 miles on the clock. Of course I appreciate that people living in rurul situations need to drive and need a good car, I live in an old detached Victorian six befroom house in Sydenham and I heat that very sparingly. I still live there as my house is major part of my pension when I officially retire. I have investigated solar voltaic but would only seriously consider them if I could mount them as low a one storey as they are a pain to arttend to on a roof |
