The whole global warming dispute seems to focus on the last 150 years. As this is from when accurate records began. The 1-2 degree centigrade rise in global temperature in the last century is undisputed, but how much of this is due to mankind. The finger of blame quickly points at the Industrial revolution and the use of fossil fuels. This is a contrubuting factor no doubt but how much is natural process?
Ice Ages have recorded as every 20-60 thousand years and it would seem we are due one. Prior to such events there has been massive global warming recorded. Palioclimatology has suggested that mini ice and warming events can occur between these massive global events.
Samual Peeps recorded in his 17th Century diaries that the Thames had frozen over and locals roasted a whole ox on the ice it was so thick!
The point is we are coming out of a mini ice age which occured in the middle ages, sure the manmade greenhouse gases are going to add to this and possiably speed it up but as for glaicers and the pole caps melting i would`nt be to worried as given x years the ice sheet will encroach to the tropics and man will really have something to worry about. That is if we are still here. In stead of fighting a losing battle aganst tempuratue and CO2 increase, we should be learning how to adapt to these conditions. Our influnence on the planet and its processes is a mere glitch in the whole scope of things.
"Did you know if you combine equal parts of gasoline and frozen-concentrate orange juice you can make napalm?..."
Another way is to dissolve expanded polystyrene in gas.Watch as it sticks and burns....quality DIY napalm or so i heard.
What a bunch of pricks. I am just coming to the end of my contract with NTL and its not come soon enough.
The nightmare started with the installation, which involved the engineer (prize prick) drop kicking the NTL box accross my floor. Then wondering why it was not working. He tried 3 other units, using the same method.....walk into room......drop unit from cheast height.....kick unit accross 15ft of floor into wall.
Since then the 512kb connection fails regulary, along with the cable TV, channels freeze, sound and picture get out of sinc and somtimes there is no picture at all.
So you call NTL customer services, wait at least 30 minutes to get thru to somone hows even prepare to listen to you and what do they suggest?..."try restarting your NTL cable box by switching it off at the wall"
What a bunch of twats.
That is why NTL suck satans cock.
A note is attached now to my account number to refund any money as of the end of november until the problem is fixed, still waiting for someone to come round. Might have to flip out when they do, with hippos, pirates and guitars.

Just be the first to write the sword fighting program.
Again, not quite right. Although the Snow Crash Metaverse allowed programmers to pretty much create any avatar they liked, there were still boundarys. For example the limit on height of hair stlyes in the Black Sun.

current estimate, 600 wounded, 20 dead, walking wounded everywhere, helicopters bringing in casualties.
