Carbon Flourescent Lamps ???

Looks like enviro-theatre is becoming as ridiculous as the security-theatre we've already had to put up with.

: :Hi all, : : :just got a Q &A style leaflet printed by Energy Australia headed: : : " CFL SAFETY " : :The very first question reads: : :Q. Do Carbon Fluorescent Lamps contain mercury ? : : : :Oh dear ........... : : : :...... Phil :

Sounds like some advertising moron was too embarrased (or too confident in their own knowledge) to ask what CFL meant when asked by management to draw up the leaflet.

And will probably blame the spell checker of course. Makes you wonder how many other morons signed off on this effort before it was printed! Then again it may have happened at the printers, but is less likely these days than when type-setting was done manually. Unfortunately the art of proof reading also seems to have fallen out of fashion lately.

MrT.

could be part of that ever growing carbon footprint KRUDD keeps telling us about.

Has anyone watched "The Greenhouse Conspiracy" and "The Great Global Warming Swindle"? Interesting viewing ...

Eco-socialists (un-surprisingly) know nothing when its all said and done.

Maybe they should just follow the lead of the worlds most famous socialsts and call the bulb "lenin's bulb" like they did during soviet electrification. jailing or shooting anyone who disagrees is also an option worth considering. Meanwhile, Global warming will not stop.

If they look anything like Andrew Bolt's page in the Melbourne Herald-Sun today:

it will spark off a lot of controversial comments/feedback.

A documentary called "Global Dimming" shown on the ABC a year or two back is also interesting viewing.

The 24hrs post 911 with no planes flying in the states showed a jump in solar radiation back to levels observed in the 1950s. All pretty factual no supposition, gloom & doom, just what was observed etc. Some stuff on it here:

It's not called "Global Warming" any more. It's now referred to as "Climate Change". This is to cover the case where warming is short lived and leads into a period of protracted global cooling...

My understanding was that "Climate Change" was the preferred term as it was less confusing to laypersons who could not understand that as part of the overall warming process some areas will experience transient cooling that may last many years. The cooling effects can be caused by changes in ocean currents due to ice melts, glacier melts etc.

Yes, an interesting read, Don.

Those two heretical documentaries I mentioned are downloadable as torrent files, by the way.

PS: Thanks for correcting the spelling of 'fluorescent'. :-)

You know the latter was effectively 'banned' by the US TV networks ?

You can find bits or maybe even all of it on youtube I think.

Without a spell checker and google, I would be just another silly old fart :-)

Cheers Don...

You bet !

IIRC, the contrails from the planes were keeping the earth slightly cooler. This shows vividly how much 'cloud cover' affects climate far more than a few ppm of CO2. That's just from memory btw.

Downloaded "great global warming swindle" overnight, after seeing it discussed in this thread Its a film worth watching, well presented "BBC style" documentary.

Here is a link to the torrent,

(havent got all of "greenhouse conspiracy" yet, its very slow)

Apparently when GGWS was shown on ABC-TV last year, the parts with Prof Carl Wunsch were removed because the good professor later said that his comments were edited to give the opposite impression to what he really meant. Also the program has later retracted its claim that volcanos emit more CO2 than all human activity. But that still leaves a lot of stuff worth thinking about, like how many people are getting a very nice income by jumping on the Climate Change bandwagon. Greenhouse Conspiracy was made way back in 1990 when the whole Global Warming thing was just beginning. A few of the people in it also appeared ~15 years later in GGWS.
