In the interim period I have learned a few things about blackgang, and I now have a newly found sense of respect for him.
I am about as liberal euro socialist as one can get, but I'd love to have a cup of tea or coffee with BG and listen to his stories, I think he's a pretty cool guy.

EARTH'S FUTURE IN HANDS OF WILF LUNN THE Earth can be saved from the damaging effects of climate change with a series of contraptions built by Wilf Lunn, it has been claimed.
A report by the Royal Society said Lunn's 20ft-long egg-boiling machines could be adapted to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then use it to boil millions of eggs.Mr Lunn with a prototype of his Egg-Boiling Trumpianomoscope
A spokesman said: "We had almost given up hope on finding practical applications for geo-engineering when Professor Brubaker suggested that man with the crazy moustache from Vision On.
"We now believe Mr Lunn's theory of contraptionistics can be used to construct gigantic, Earth-saving machines, while at the same time ensuring an endless supply of delicious egg mayonnaise for the drought stricken regions of sub-Saharan Africa."
Early ideas include a series of vast mirrors in space to reflect solar rays, 50ft tall CO2 scrubbers to clean the atmosphere and a machine that prevents former US vice-president Al Gore flying half way across the world in a private jet so he can show his boring film to some hippies.
To promote their new report the Royal Society is to stage an exhibition featuring children's drawings of Earth-saving devices which members of the public can view while listening to some lovely guitar music from The Deer Hunter.
Wilf Lunn said last night: "I shall need a ping-bong ball, a candle, two cheese graters and 28ft of copper wire. And an egg."
Bill McKay, an environmentalist from Peterborough, welcomed the report, adding: "My wife is an absolutely colossal scrubber, but unfortunately she does tend to make things even dirtier."
I can understand why people do not belive in global warming. i can even appreciate why people choose to ignore the obvious.
The extraction and burning of fossil fuels will affect the natural cycle of climate change. These changes will gather momentum, and the pace of change will have a major impact on how we live our lives.
Yes it has happened before, but never has it happened so quickly, or with such a devastating chain of unstoppable events.
In the very near future the natural cycle of earth changing events will see a catastrophic change and the earth will bite the human race in the ass very hard.
Enjoy now while it lasts.
Ya know Chass, I have lived thru the best century this world has ever seen, I have lived with planes that would hardly do 100 MPH and old bed sheets for a covering with paint on it to stop aircirculation thru the fabric to Titanium skinned ones that can surpass Mach-3, and some super speed rockets with enough juice to break gravity.
I went from a hand crank phone on the wall to this funny fucking contraption I am typing on and you will get it faster than you would have got ypur 2 longs and 2 short rings on the crank phone.
So no matter what happens to this world next is going to happen anyway and if we make it just a little sooner, it will not have changed anything really in the grand scheme of things.
Just be glad that you have lived in this last few good years that started in 1930 and will end for me in the 2010s.
^Agree.
OP. I dunno if I argee or not. What's argee?
we are all going to turn gay when it gets colder ??Originally Posted by crippen

I think that is when your mind outruns your finger that you use for typing,,Originally Posted by DrB0b
I know that happens to me all the time, some times my mind is so far ahead of my finger that I miss whole words.
I am philosophical about this BG. Nothing mere mortals can do to stop it.
As Bob Dylan said quite prophetically, 'the times they are a changin'
Just wonder if we are so fuckiun clever, why we did not see it coming sooner and maybe do something about ......... nope....... too bloody difficult.
B'stards.
I did not watch the film and i am not a big fan of the poster, but i do think we should accept that this is our shit.
I think the same, we are not able to stop it. So we should not waste money on trying but instead concentrate on how to live with it.Originally Posted by chassamui
I am sure there will be plenty of advantages to it and not only disaster if we make some adjustments.
Ok Blackgang....This is your table...so talk.
Already did dude, Like I said, it has happened before and it will most likely happen again in a few thousand years,, we were sort of here during the start of the last warming and are still here as it is still warming, we might be making it happen faster than it might have done , but even that is a guess by everyone, some trying to make a buck off it same as they do everything that is possible.Originally Posted by bsnub
Someone might still be here when it goes into another Ice Age and some might live thru it if they can go to where it is just cooler but not Icing as it was not all over the planet, just a guess by me.
But were were born to die and start that shit the day we are born, no one getting out of here alive so face it, we are all terminal.
