Whoops apocalypse.

Why is no one going oi - the banks have just tapped into a direct feed straight into the taxing system and robbed us blind for some pretty big snouts to continue feeding from the trough. And remember they all pleaded poverty (sorry people you missed your chance to take to the streets and have a revolution because they played on your good nature - apart from the heroic greeks) while emptying the coffers and forcing the little people out of thier homes.

Did no one notice that a game was afoot when a bank in Dubai asked for a bail out!!!!!

As for global warming - technology is the only way out on this one and we need it fast or a lot of people are going to suffer, especially in africa. Whomever or whatever is causing it is not as important as trying to solve or manage it. We can not stop carbon emissions without switching away from oil and petrol as it is unfair to expect the developing countires to stop having cars etc so the developed world can play with jetboats, suv's, and rollar coasters. If we help them introduce this modern tech every one can benefit. The problem is of course greed - the tech will be held onto until a huge profit can be gained.

I suppose a drive agains Greed would solve more problems than many would care to admit lets hope the tech is introduced to stave off the nightmare of having to do without.

Oh AJ when are the wars for freshwater due to start?
