World Wide Power Off

[rod@plasterbrok]

The organiser of this lights out rubbish here in Melbourne told us today in the paper that "2 million" Vctorians turned the power off, and it was the equivalent of taking 64.000 cars off the road for an hour. What an idiot.

And they wonder why their claims about AGW are questioned

And rightly so.

Apparently the black balloons Victoria saved is the equivalent output in black balloons one australian puts out in one year.

So if only one victorian couple used the hour to make love by candlelight and were succesfull in conceiving then that result would cancel out all the savings and cost the taxpayers another baby bonus as well.

And the up-for-hire protesters wonder why we think it was a load of crock!

Last night on the ABC I caught part of an interview with Derek Guille and some environmentalist talking about how Global Warming was affecting the sex life of sea creatures.

She was saying that sea the sex of sea turtles was determined by the water temperature, and that global warming was having a profound effect by creating more female turtles. As global warming is increasing at a rapid rate soon there will only be females and they will have no males to mate with.

She went on to say how the penguins of Antartica were suffering because of the broken up ice due to global warming. She claims the penguins have got further to swim to find a mate and have sex. Therefore they were to tired to have proper sex and only had quickies that was affecting breeding.

Now I kid you not she was saying this with a “straight face” and Derek Guille was taking it all in.

Can these people really be serious?

I don't know about the penguins but the bit about sea turtles is actually true in so much as the gender of offspring is determined by the temperature, with higher temperatures giving rise to more females. However I believe it is the temperature of the sand in the nest, and not the sea water, that determines it. I suppose the temperature of the sand is linked to the water temperature, so it might well be fact.
