"Steam reforming of natural gas is currently the most widely used and economical method of producing hydrogen. Close to 98% of hydrogen is presently generated from fossil fuels such as natural gas."
"For the purposes of the Perth Fuel Cell Bus Trial, the hydrogen used will be produced as a by-product from BP's Kwinana oil refinery."
Correct, but again, to dismiss clear evidence that we are experiencing the most rapid rise in global temperatures *and* CO2 levels ever seen is stupid.
Furthermore, while i havn't verified your statement that US temperatures have remained stable, that certainly isnt the case for Australia where it is quite frankly hot enough already, on top of our worrying decrease in annual rainfall...

It really isnt hard to find information like this(deg. C increase over 100 years) from computer modelling done around the world. The fact that these maps all look fairly similar would indicate there is some accuracy to the prediction of substantial global warming, in particular around the polar regions.
I still find it sad that many people here take the attitude that until there is some 100% concrete evidence that man is a factor in this, that we should just ignore it and not do anything about it (until it's too late?)
Did you ever stop to think about the reason aid is donated for disasters such as this?
I have no doubt what happened in Florida was equally tragic for those affected, but the fact is the US is fortunate enough to have the infrastructure, resources and medical facilities to deal with it. If you lost your home/car/possessions chances are you have insurance to cover it and first class medical facilities if you were injured.
The people affected by the tsunami have *none of these things*. The medical facilities are primitive by our standards, there is not the infrastructure or resources available to get such a large area cleaned up before disease starts to take hold and for the majority there is no insurance paycheck coming to help them rebuild.
On top of this, the areas hit rely heavily on tourism for income, with the place looking (and smelling) pretty much like hell on earth at the moment, a large part of the local economy has been wiped out perhaps for months to come.
Im proud of the fact that my country (Australia) has dug deeper than most to help these people out.
Maybe if you got your head out your ass you might drop the weak excuses and help them too.
Nice attitude. Do you really think the people that espouse these views give a stuff whether they could buy HL2 or not? No of course they dont, its the rest of us that have to suffer.
Its a moot point anyway as piracy and warez will take care of the supply...
The irony would be in choosing an OGG-format player for the supposed 'superior sound quality' and then running it through an inherently signal-degrading FM transmitter/reciever setup
Its all irrelevant anyway as unless our Civic driver takes 2nd-gear corners at like 100km/h that dumbass wing is making about as much downforce as my fingers on this keyboard.
Im willing to bet most people would run out of driving talent long before their plastic addons actually achieve anything other than making them look like tryhards...
Your typical Ducati is a 'foreign' bike, certainly does not make any high-pitched noises;) and sounds 1000 times better than a Harley ever could (and goes better too)
Opression, cruelty, and injustice are sometimes stubborn to remove. Does that mean they should be ignored?
Hey great, he replaced someone elses oppression, cruelty and injustice with his own oppression, cruelty and injustice and on top of that, lied about why he was doing it!
I say this not to blame the Democrats for them, but to point out that our lack of safety comes from the hatred that Islamic fundamentalists and dictators of all stripes have for the United States and our culture and values (universal suffrage for all, equal rights for women, religious tolerance, etc.)
Rubbish. There are plenty of other countries around the world who manage to have the same freedoms you mention without raising the ire of others to the point where they become terrorist targets. In fact in my country (Australia) it is precisely *because* of our governments' strong support of Bush's tactics that we've popped onto the terrorist's radar
Its great that you think Bush, Cheney, etc gave a rat's ass about making Iraq a democracy back when they were railroading the UN over weapons inspections.
Nope, all the talk was about those nasty WMDs, the more humanitarian matters only became important when the WMD myth was debunked;)

No evidence? How do you explain the most rapid rise in global temperatures *and* CO2 levels ever seen?
I think not. Console games are not even close to the top driving simulations on the PC like GTR, LFS and Nascar 2003 for realism.
How does Flatout compare? A similar game that is a real laugh with your mates :)

umm there already is "hard data showing a consistent global trend towards warmer temperatures"
How much proof do you need? Seriously, i was going to trawl google again but really there are plenty of links in this thread...

Even a consumer cassette recorder does wonders for the last two Ministry albums - not that thats hard, it sounds like they recorded them on a SB16...

Your attitude is fucking disgusting.

My video card (R9800pro) and sound card (Audigy) are not bleeding edge either, and yet i get the stuttering.
What was your point again?
What is it with this logic that if humans arent causing climate change then everything will be alright and we should just ignore whatever happens?
Nice attitude. Do you really think the people that espouse these views give a stuff whether they could buy HL2 or not? No of course they dont, its the rest of us that have to suffer.

Theres a *big* difference between 'raw' opium (smoked) and heroin (injected) in terms of addiction potential.
You also need to realise repetitive behaviour != addiction. I drive my car repeatedly, does that mean im addicted to driving?
and exactly what does this have to do with Saddam and invading Iraq?
Except that its not. They are *growing* skin here, not merely making dead skin into things
If someone smacked you in the face in the dark what would you do? Whimper away?
No, but i wouldnt then attack someone who had nothing to do with it either...
Yes I noticed, I thought you were wrong then too
