“I just do not believe it!” to quote Victor Meldrew.

The Japanese are claiming that less greenhouse gasses are involved by eating whales than land mammals.  And you thought C4 was bad!?   for the whole story please visit

There is a way we can easily help at an affordable price  Powertune Energy Saver.  If I was rich like Richard Branson I would give them away as they can even save the lives of the vulnerable.

The 90 billion barrels of oil now recoverable from the Arctic Circle should be enough to meet the current level of world demand  for the next THREE YEARS .http://http://www.france24.com/en/20080724-Oil-natural-gas-Arctic-Circle-world-demand

And where is there the most oil?   ALASKA The Last Wilderness. I’ve been to Alaska.  Go there now to see the beauty that will be lost through mans’ greed.   

Did you see ‘Burn Up’ last night @ 2100 on BBC2?  Second part Friday.rrels of oil now recoverable rom the Arctic Circle should be enough to meet the     This drama production is in danger of getting far nearer to the truth than Channel 4. It is both entertaining and frighteningly factual.  It would make an ideal study  for ‘A’ level.

LETS GET SOME DISCUSSION GOING ON THIS POST!

I’m trying to do my bit to offset the consequences of the energy crisis as it is now called.  Pop over to my PowertuneEnergySaver site and see what I mean.

So says the Government of Sri Lanka in a bid to fight this countries energy crisis.

Good idea, or is it?  The rich will be able to pay the duty, just like many 4×4 drivers pay for fuel in the UK.

How many poor tea pickers in Sri Lanka can afford large energy consuming electrical goods anyway?

Well at least taxes will bring in money for the Government.  It’s what is done with it then that matters. Build solar collectors, wind turbines or wave energy? We can live in hope.  At least they are making an effort which is more than can be said for the Bush Administration or much of Europe.  We are too good at talking and debating or ‘fiddling while Rome burns.”

If you want to do something constructive to save energy. Save energy AND money with POWERTUNE ENERGY SAVER.

A news item stating some of the obvious caught my eye.

The repot said that deforestation worldwide has been caused by population pressure.  True in part, people need firewood to cook in many regions also wood for building.

It’s easy to blame the world’s problems on lack of birth control.  In many areas there is need for a high birth rate because people die so young for a vaiety of reasons.

BUT, what about us?  We like our Teak garden furniture.  Too often wood from non-sustainable sources is used.  This means when the tree is felled, all the nutrients in the tree are removed from an ecosystem and the soil ‘dies’.

Brazil is a problem.  Rich land barons ravage the rainforest to turn it into grassland.  Why? to graze cattle on for a couple of years until the soil ‘dies’ in another place.  But never mind there’s plenty more rain forest and the natives are illiterate so what does it matter?!

So, what happens to the animals?  juicy steaks and corned beef for stomachs that don’t need it.

Question.  Can anyone tell me the make of corned beef that does not come from South America?   Or, have we got the the China syndrome?  It’s cheap and good value but I would buy British if anybody still made it here!

A product which is not made in Brazil or China is Powertune Energy Saver. Take a look and see how to save 25% off your electricity bill with zero effort!

An elderly Swedish gentleman with a good memory has returned to the techniques the Swedes used during the war.  The method involes burning wood in a container in the back of the car. Tore Bolmquist manages a 300 mile round trip for about £35.  Not bad, but it is just as well Sweden has lots of trees if this catches on again!

I will soon be bringing you a product that was also used in WW2.  I have been using it for twelve years extremely successfully.  In the mean time there is always energy and money to save with Powertune Energy Saver.  It’s worth every penny.

Ontario plans to restict the use of 87,000 sq.miles of pine forest to eco-tourism and traditional ‘First Nation’ uses like hunting and fishing.

The forests in Ontario support one of the world’s largest intact ecosystems.  There are more than 200′ sensitive’ species of animals including polar bears, wolverines and caribou as well migratiry birds.

Ontario’s forest is a significant global carbon sink, absorbing some 12.5 million Tonnes (about 30 million tons in ‘old money’)  of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year.

The Canadian Forestry Service tells us that Canada’s total greenhouse gas emissions account for about 2% of global emissions.

Well Done Mr McGinty - Ontario’s Premier.  You obviously didn’t attend the same school as Mr Bush!

If anyone in Canada is interested in Powertune Energy Saver.  Please leave me a comment, thanks.

Environmental poetry is Robert Redford’s agenda today.  With 30 years of campaigning to his credit he is appealing to yet another generation with this 1960’s approach that still holds good.  Take a look, and listen.

That man is unbelievable!!!!

Doesn’t acknowledge Climate Change so he’ll leave it for the next administration.  Is he playing God?  While he is in power Climate Change doesn’t exist.  Somehow it will only be happening when the next administration takes power.

Now top  it off, Bush has given the go-ahead for more off-shore oil extraction.  He really does begger belief.  Why not elect Arnie to the Whitehouse, he’s making a great job of California.  What postive things has Bush ever done for the USA or the World? Someone please tell me.

At least I will be able to say I tried to help the World by introducing Powertune Energy Saver.  The Planet will benefit more from the 25% of electricity that Powertune can save than oil extracted to curry favour.

Today I have read three articles on Climate Change and am ‘Confused.co.uk’!

Article one from an Indian news agency tells us that big business considers its growth more important than taking steps to combat climate change. Smaller businesses are much more caring and overall recycling is up 12%.  This says to me that money just wants more money at any cost at the expense of working people who are doing their best.

Secondly there is a follow up on the G8 proposals or lack of them.  This report from the high fliers in British Industry is excellent and the ideas workable. Government has let the Bank of England control The Bank Rate, with success, why not listen to the heads of industry?

Lastly, Bollywood is on a tour for Climate Change with a series of concerts .  The last one of these will be in London. Somehow Brad Pitt and Nichole Pitman are involved!?

Come on guys, get your act together before it’s too late!

About 3 weeks ago there was a report saying that wind turbines were inefficient and liable to breakdown.

In the Times of 10th July there is a report headed “British Energy Nuclear Power Output Slides” Evidently nuclear power output fell by 17% during the second quarter.  There was a glitch at Sizewell ‘B’ nuclear power station in May.  This triggered blackouts that hit up to 500,000 homes.  At least I know what caused those blackouts now.

So how was the gap in supply plugged?  By getting Eggborough COAL fired power station to ramp up production. At least we had hot water from our solar panel.

What means of generating electricity can we use if both wind and nuclear power are unreliable?
