thats typical, what ever next,

why do we in the UK suffer, while people in China carry on polluting

Global warming cant be prevented

however i think hydrogen (like bmws 7er Hydrogen car) will play a big part in the near future, and in the usa maybe BIO Ethernol isnt it?

Reality: An unelectable (distant third) political party in the UK makes a *suggestion* that this might be a good idea.

Hummm doubt it. Funny thing is a co-worker of mine brought in a article that he had from back in 1970 and it was addressing "global warming / cooling" it said the earth was facing the same thing back then with all the industries polluting the world causing it to heat up prior to the 70s but then I think in the 70s the earth was actually cooling... the earth cools and warms and at this point in time we're just on the warming trend... if the trend continues like the article says we'll have a global cooling in about 10 to 20 years from now just like in the 70s... we'll see...

so what you saying is the Earth will fix it self and no need for us to fix global warming right now.
