Post categories:

Robin Lustig | 14:36 UK time, Sunday, 7 June 2009


Thanks to the New York Times for this story about how a new diet for cattle could help reduce the impact of climate change.

Burp less, save the planet?

    That's another good news from researchers. By the way alfalfa is an herb used as food supplements good for body cleansing.

    The whole trouble with the 'we can fix it' idea about climate change is that all the 'indicators' of change are lagging indicators. (CH4 -methane, CO2 etc.)

    I view the New York Times article as part of the campaign of the climate change refuseniks - it will have as much effect on Climate Change as the cartoon sheep gas masks fitted to animals in New Zealand (last week's 'we can fix it story'.)

    Robin, the World is warming up and we can do little about it. Our response should at best be to modify where we live, if we can, for it is impossible for modify much else. (particularly so if we are American!) We need to prepare as best we can.

    EVEN THE USA IS 'PAYING ATTENTION' TO THE UK'S PARLIAMENTARY FIASCO!!!!

    Today's (10_06-2009)To The Pointprogramme's main topic is the recent EU Election Results & UK Politics'...

    http://www.kcrw.com/news/programs/tp/tp090610eu_election_results_

    'To The Point' is 1 of the most popular & widely listened to daily radio programmes in North America...

    It's part of the US's "National Public Radio" (NPR) network...

    TTP's moderator usually does a first class job regardless of the topic, &, as the UK's Parliamentary crisis is receiving broad coverage here in North America- & across the wider world-, today's TTP programme probably ought to be listened to: (1900 GMT, 11:00 AM PDT)- or downloaded after broadcast- for later use...

    A United Kingdom general election is urgently needed- to 'cleanse the worsening supporating UK governance morass; to enable (UK) pubic confidence in their elected representatives; & to remedy the present illegitimacy of the UK's present Parliament & its MP's..
