Melting glaciers release toxic chemical cocktail - earth - 07 May 2008 - New Scientist Environment

Quote:

Geisz couldn't figure out where the DDT came from until she looked back at glacial records. In the 1950s and 60s, Antarctic glaciers swelled, potentially locking in chemicals like DDT.

Oh they swelled did they. That'll be why the scaremongering about the coming Ice Age was the fear stick of the day.

The minute they start to "unswell" and the stick gets switched to the current one.

What a fargin con.

An interesting article by Sir Bernard Ingham, former adviser to Lady Thatcher (please see article on the link given in the first posting to the following thread):

Bernard Ingham: Why on earth do we put up with this green extortion?

That is probably the best political line of attack at the moment. Fuel bills are going through the roof due to price fixing and that sort of thing and meanwhile the housing market is taking a dive. We will shortly be hearing lots about negative equity, as in The Times they show a block of flats, each one now worth £50 000 less than people recently purchased them for. So people are going to be short of cash, some will inevitably loose their homes and so that cash might just be make or break for them.

How many saw this coming? I figured it would come since it was not likely that energy cartels would be spending money pushing green propaganda if there was nothing in it for them. They can merrily fix their prices and expect the EU regulators to be soft on them as long as they had put enough of their money into promoting the EU's favourite rip-off. See how the 10p tax has been such a big issue even though it did not make a great deal of difference to people's income the issue is that a lot are struggling even now. Mortgage companies have lent 6 times the borrower's salary, it was traditionally always 3.5 times. Brown is going down because of the economy and I think the greens could end up the same way.
