Why has no one suggested that we begin to improve our relations with Russia and turn it into a friend not an enemy. We are going to be tied to their gas sooner or later. Life in Russia is not bad, it is no longer the fearful state of the communist era. The people in Crimea voted to be Russian so tha...

Sorry Caspian for not replying for so long. In Spain a large part of it becomes almost desert in summer. They use fertilisers, pesticides, and use fuel like the rest of us. I'm moving to Galicia. You've probably never heard of it. It's not a popular tourist destination as it rains too much. It's lar...

Look at this http://www.botanica.org.uk/Plants/NativePlants/Caragana.htm These are plants that I also want to get Where are you? I live in Swanley but have an unfinished doomstead in spain Andy Incidentally: I got the address from the book "plants for a future" Maybe they're on pfaf as wel...

I voted 1 because I have bought a ruined farm in Spain and intend to retire there as soon as I can and become as self sufficient as I can. BUT I had already bought the place before I found out about peak oil so I don't know if that counts. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. However I ...

Definitely rent

I have just sold my house and I am going to spend what little I get after paying the mortgage on my doomstead in Spain. I'm hoping to retire in less than a year and plan to plant my 7 acres and become as self sufficient as I can.

Here's the RealClimate rebuttal of the "Mars is warming too" story http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=192 It's quite short and to the point, so please read it. Thank you kenneal. Like I said in my original post I hadn't reaearched it but your link certainly seems very scientific. It m...

I couldn't resist and got a score of 34 with the following DailyMirroresque advice:

Beat you I got 38 with no advice

No I can't say I was particularly enthused by the questionnaire

A nice site but I don't think they take into account public disorder. I mean public transport systems in the cities. I would have thought ability to feed the people would be more important. I may be repeating what others have already posted but this site http://www.mnforsustain.org/erickson_d_determ...

Frankly, either of these suggestions beggars belief. If you have some other theory as to why scientists might be ignoring or suppressing such evidence, please explain. In offer no explanation. If you read my original post you will find I said there are sites that quite logically debunk global warmi...

I think things could get really bad. If the world is incapable of feeding itself what chance has the UK got of feeding sixty million. Yes when things get hard people will try to form communities they can trust. But what about the other community down the road who are finding times hard. They might d...

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas but there are others e.g. water vapour is much more of a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

I think if other planets are warming up too then we need to look for other causes besides carbon dioxide

I simply point out that if other planets are warming up the same as the Earth then they probably have the same root cause i.e. the Sun

Mars is not warming up due to martians using fossil fuels.
