A young scientist friend of mine is working on her PhD on an interesting area of getting plants to feed themselves rather than pouring on loads of fertilisers...
These are a few items covered by this month's Professional Engineering magazine that give a different picture:- 1. Lotus is working with ZAP, the US-based...
Note date, a pity it didn't come earlier so I could have researched it in time for last night's meeting. It sounds a bit like "The BIG CRUNCH "(as happens if...
I thought everything we were suggesting was trying to cope with it! Yes one could walk across the channel at one time and yes we have already made major...
This adds a bit more-- I'll have a look at the report -Dave NO BIG BANG AND NO DOOMSDAY: A NEW COSMOLOGICAL MODEL OF AN ENDLESS UNIVERSE Physorg, 31 January...

Dave, This theory is not saying our Universe oscillates between Big Bang and Big Crunch is it? Isn't it saying that just before our universe completely decays...
Ed, you're right but I didn't have access to the second bit when I wrote the first bit. I found that later . Clearly the theory I outlined is a different one...
You will have seen or heard that the international report on global warming is out today and 2,500 scientists have contributed. Can they all be wrong? Dave T...
More UK stats............. Date: January 31, 2007 Time: 10:45 Greenhouse gas statistic show UK on track to double Kyoto target The UK remains on a course to...
Quotes from the Guardian today " Dr Solomon said that yesterday's predictions painted a gloomier picture because scientists have discovered feedbacks in the...
Hi all, Herewith some responses to the IPCC report. All worth thinking about ( don't bother looking for sources to counter these - just think about the ideas...
Thanks Gary , Very useful stuff BUT UK will be there, as ever, obeying the rules, ruining our economy, whilst the rest of the world reacts realistically to...
Peter, Can I just question one fact you state. You say that, "Every word in this report has been poured over by the 25,000 experts and their governments". Now...
And I forgot to add, as has been pointed out in this morning's Telegraph, that the IPCC has not, as of yesterday, yet published the scientific reports...
Hi Peter, As ever, my comments in green. I suspect that the real issue in this country is about finding new stealth taxes. A small part of which they will...
Hi All, Below it's me in green as usual-emphases are mine also. See !! -It's not just me who's been worried all along about the stifling of debate. The ones I...
The phrase 'very likely' was the lowest common denominator that everyone agreed to having been watered down from 'fairly certain' Words as Lewis Carol said can...
Hi Peter, It's me again in green below. I agree some people will roll over in the light of the IPCC report but will any previously sceptical scientists roll...

Antarctica is a land mass as big as Australia. This is a huge heat sink not easily warmed or cooled. The Northern ice has thawed several times in the past but...
I agree totally with Peter's conclusions. Apparently US is saying it won't reduce emissions unless China and India do as well. Pathetic! Obviously the...
Richard My enthusiasm overcame me and I apologise for the error. It was reported as 2,500 scientists not 25,000 as I stated. I also doubt that everyone of them...
We don't like paying more for anything and therefore increasing the cost of something may alter people's habits. Charging people £300 for parking their...
The climate at the Artic and Antarctic are different and I think this is the distribution of land masses. I have read somewhere that when the original single...
There's a lot of truth here -- The predictions have been lowered from the same guys previous predictions and I,personally, expect more of the same as we move...
Dave Don't confuse the issues by bringing in other sacred cows. We want the scientists to come up with their best estimate of this and those estimates will...
Peter, I'm still unclear about one statistic that really puzzles me, and that's the much talked about CO2 levels. (I mentioned this in an earlier posting, but...
