Whales are the "forests of the ocean".
Hi All,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pa...538033.stm Whaling worsens carbon release, scientists warn By Victoria Gill Science reporter, BBC News, Portland Unbelievable, what a load of old krill.....  The Beeb needs a complete set of new science reporters. But when they get such nice "jollies" all paid for, is it any surprise they write what they are supposed to. The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken. The hobgoblins have to be imaginary so that "they" can offer their solutions, not THE solutions. |

RE: Whales are the "forests of the ocean".
Quote:A century of whaling may have released more than 100 million tonnes - or a large forest's worth - of carbon into the atmosphere, scientists say That is all they are whining about? ROFLMAO! It is our attitude toward free thought and free expression that will determine our fate. There must be no limit on the range of temperate discussion, no limits on thought. No subject must be taboo. No censor must preside at our assemblies. –William O. Douglas, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1952 |
