Barry Scott Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 TheBigDog i will take a breath next time i post because i did get carried away, but what i was trying to say was, these people could live without aid, even if it means living in poverty, i meant they would live a much happier life with help from other people. I just expressed it wrongly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerseun Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I think Ron made a very fair point in an earlier post regarding retention. I can have a massive furnace going in my back yard, if the air is clear enough so the energy can be radiated into space, none if it will reach the arctic to melt 40-80km3 worth of ice. And the air pollution causing thermal retention is generated mostly in the First World. Baddabing baddaboom - remove the First World and you might save the ice. Remove the Third World, and hardly anybody would notice. Except the poor buggers in the Third World, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
