All the great deserts of the world are the same distance from the equator. Will this change with Global Warming?
Recently in Australia it appears that the droughts are prolonged now when getting down around the Murray River. This indicates to me that the "no rain latitude" has moved south. Does anybody have information on the northern hemisphere that also fits in with this? Possibly the dry band is on a wobble and will dissapear completely. Any thoughts please?? |

I would like to see the laws changed so people can be disposed of in an environmentally responsible way. Archaic social customs of burial and the risk of disease are things of a bygone era. I personally find the whole idea of being embalmed/mummified and even cremated to be an incredible waste of energy and resources. I would like to be buried in an untreated cardboard or fibreboard casket without anything done to my body, apart from refrigeration, until I am interred. Cremation, while saving land, is an incredible waste of energy and emits a lot of greenhouse gas. Ever thought how much energy it takes to reduce the human body to ash? How much carbon that would emit? I don’t want that on my conscience. I think the embalming of a human body and burying it in a metal casket with headstone, etc, to also be incredibly wasteful and a financial burden on the surviving family. Cemeteries are an incredible waste of land. Let’s recycle ourselves and return our bodies to the land. This would probably require some sort of legislation. |

As yet I have not seen any factual evidence that carbon trading will actually reduce emmissions.
I believe those proposing carbon trading are mostly wanting to start these schemes simply to make money for themselves or to push a cause or to build a bigger bureaucracy. It is all smoke and mirrors. |
