Ecology

[jessica]

Something to say about it ?

[nemo]

an end to the use of fossil fules, and accceptance of alternative sources of porwer like wind and solar in the uk would b a good start, at the moment whenever a wind farm is set up it is shut down coz of "aesthetic" reasons, (i.e people complain that they r an eyesore)

[jessica]

Geeze, people are so stupid !!!

And houses in lines, that's not an eyesore ?

I went to Bristol to visit my family over new year and i thought that GB was soo depressing, so green and yet so depressing.

come up to scotland, the area between stirling and dundee is beautiful, perfect landscapes all the way and no power stations of any nature near the road

I will come up to scotland one day, i have to go to rosslyn.

And my parents always told me to go to Inverness.

I think that i should prepare myself for what could be a very long trip.

hmmm, electric cars, and everything moved with clean power will be the future, with the fusion thermonuclear plants the bad thing bout them, it's just that if there's a leak........ goodbye city

I had a revelation quite some time ago about vegetarians - they're actually ecologically and environmentally very, very bad indeed. I had this revelation when I was told about how many gallons of diezel, etc. it costs to farm livestock for a year and how this fucks up the environment.

Well, if that's true, then if the animals weren't killed and eaten (which would be the case if everyone was vegetarian), more diezel would have to be used to care for the animals for the rest of their natural lives. The situation would be further complicated by a livestock population boom due to further mating by animals which would otherwise have been eaten. These animals would need further land to live off, so there would have to be deforestation to supply this land. In addition to this, further deforestation would have to be done to provide the crops for the now-vegetarian humans. The whole world would fuck up quicker than if it's left in the hands of Pres. Bush for another term.

So be environmentally friendly - have a fucking hamburger.

There's a big wind farm a few miles from here and I think it's a beautful testament to human engineering.

at univeristy I'm studying ecology

I'm not sure what part of ecology I'm supposed to care about. I'm not worried about running out of oil, we've got enough wells tapped right now to last for the next 500 years. The Green house effect? I think that myth has been debunked hasn't it? At least it feels like it with these record low temperatures. The hole in the Ozone? Is that even related to ecology? well, when I was in 3rd grade, about 20 years ago, I saw a film about the scientist that discovered the hole and he said he was going to live to see the end of the world. He was about 55-60 in the film, that would make him 75-80 now. We must be close to the end.  Oil spills. everyday more oil flows out of the ocean floor naturally, than all the oil spills in history combined. But I do think we need ecology to study the relationships in nature, but I think the science has been hijacked by emotionally charged exagerations.

surely it would be to our benefit to research cleaner methods of generating power though, we saw the problems caused in singapore a few years ago by smog and pollution fumes which resulted in people having to walk around with masks over their face to prevent them breathing in the air,

there have also been huge rises in the number of skin cancer cases in recent years, this rise has been attributed to the hole in the ozone layer, as has the increase in the growth of the sahara dessert resulting in even less land suitable for agriculture in africa,

i agree that the problem has been over hyped by the stereotypical hippy eco warriors u see on t.v., but i still believe we need to do something about it

the world's fossil fuel supply will be exhausted in the next 35-50 years. they had better begin finding alternate ways to fuel ourselves, or we are going to be in big trouble.

Where did you hear that? Maybe the reserve supply of fossil fuel, if we stopped drilling today, would only last us 50 years. But there's enough in oil in the currently operating wells to last us hundreds of years.

i like the wind farms, they look really cool and you can find amusment by seeing which ine goes the fastest and laugh when migrating birds get caught in the blades

And my parents always told me to go to Inverness.

i used to live about 10 mins away from inverness in a village called conon bridge. its really nice up there, i miss it.  
you should go there, you get really nice sunsets and its really beautiful.
