It wasn't particularly funny to him. He'd just gotten his Master of Science in Astronomy and went blind. Ironically, he'd been making his living as a photographer.

Sounds like an interesting guy HIA. Tragic about his vision. Tho, as he will tell you, its not like the old days: observing is done remotely and he can still access plenty of data to work with. Depending on his area of interest, of course.

Yep... and he still spends hours at his telescope and reading journals. It's just a lot slower than it used to be.

He is an interesting guy. He's an old Army buddy of mine, we were roommates in the barracks about 20 years ago.

Alright I fixed my post. You know you are my Gitchi Manitou. I bow to you.

This pleases me.

She probably knows more about any given subject than the entirety of your knowledge combined.

So, when I'm out on a job, and a 500 tonne mining dumptruck is not doing what it should, who will I contact?

I have many techniques for placating upset men. Many for making them upset too, come to think. Hell, sometimes I do both, just for fun.

Your thread?

Yeah I was going to say, your arrogance is sexy, and annoying at the same time.

You will kindly shut the fu​ck up and jump under the dumptruck.

Then you'll finally get the fu​ck out of my thread.

I constantly jump under a truck big boy, hence the slightly inflated pay packet. I dont think you would handle my job. You would be best off as a barbie doll.

The sad part is, for all the work North America and Europe are doing to make steps towards reducing the carbon footprint, it's two emerging markets that we have to worry about. Two countries with the first and second largest populations in the world. China and India.

More and more people are driving cars there, and they are so focused on the almighty dollar and finally getting to play with the big boys on the world stage, that the environment is the last thing on their minds. I've watched some horrible documentaries about the rise of industry and pollution in China, and its effects on the health and welfare of its people. It's sickening, and only a handful of people in that country are trying to fight their corrupt government to do anything about it.

I'm not quite sure the reason for the hoohoo over this report. Its not definitive (this reporter is biased as hell) and, even if its true that greenhouse gas contribution is a relatively small contributor to climate change there is a hella lot of pollution due to fossil fuel use. Not good for health. LA, Mexico City, even Toronto. One can see the smog from the plane coming in to land at Pearson. No way that's good for us compared to a clean energy source like hydroelectric.

The issue regarding emerging markets is difficult. Western industry is largely responsible for the present GHG levels and are the ones who have benefited the most economically. Is it right to tell these emerging economies they don't get their chance b/c the greedy West got there first? Some would say the West must bear the brunt of reduction costs for this reason.
