Environment - January 2007

Has anyone else noticed how so called condensation trails from planes have started to loiter in the air all day defying the laws of physics.These trails are clearly made up of something other than water vapour.I watch them all day slowly smoother the sky in a blanket of chemicals flying in military formation and pattern.Ive even seen photos of planes with extra cannisters fitted to the underside of the wings- for what purpose? Ive seen other sites where the establishment have been discussing doing this sort of thing since the 1940's- is it actually a reality? is it time to run to the hills~?

If so why should it be checked or curbed in the name of nature? Surely the developments (whether perceived to be positive or negative) and sophisication of the human lifestyle are turning the world into what it will be instead of keeping it what it used to be.

The negative externalities of development (eg. depletion of natural resource reserves, polution etc.) are natural in the sense that they follow on from the natural development of mankind to become more developed.

Surely efforts to stem human evolution are unnatural?

Discuss.

I notice a hissing sound from our gas fireplace when it isn't lit and only the pilot light is on. I called the gas company and asked them and they said they never heard of it doing that- I am worried it is a gas leak and should I turn it completely off?

With the noise and air pollution they cause, with the allergens and dust they stir up, don't you think it's time to get back to the broom and rake?
Gardeners blow dirt and allergen-filled dust from one yard to the next in a never-ending pollution fest.
I'm mad as hell and I don't want to take it any more!!!

Instead of putting even more satellites to spy on us, why don't governments get together and stick a bunch of huge fans in space to help cool down the earth and mitigate the effects of global warming? is this possible? would it work? if this leads to something remember you read it here first!

Will a global disaster take place? or will we survive into the next millenium and beyond? Will we be followed by an even more intelligent species? Or will we create robots that will eventually replace us? Or will a global disaster wipe out all larger animals on this planet? Will other planets be inhabited by humans?

Innocent animals and birds being sacrificed to satisfy our taste to such an extent that some species are becoming extinct. Animal already serve us in almost all spheres of life, from agriculture to industry and many more…. Isn’t it time that we start giving them their due respect, their due position in our society?
