advertisers going ‘green’

green is just another reason to stick the price up 20percent. strange aint it that the greener, or more oranic it is the more it costs. :wink:

Green is “fashionable” and advertisors dont want to miss out on that group of people. Whether the advertisors are doing it for the right reasons or not, they want sales.

The green bandwagon is based on the semi-myth of globbal warming that is being promoted with religious zeal by non-scientists around the world.

What we have is a scenario where there have slightly rising global temperatures for a few decades and a scientific model that shows how human activity (CO2 production) might tend towards a heating effect. What we do not know is whether the slightly rising temperatures are a natural phenomenon or caused by human activity. Average global temperatures have have been rising, with a few blips and reversals, since the the last ice age ended 20,000 years ago.

If humans are causing global warming, what about CFC’s, that were banned in the 1980’s because they had been predicted to cause global warming? As they slowly accumulate in the upper atmosphere, the peak effect was predicted to occur up to 50 years after the ban came into effect.

But I’m not an anti-environmentalist. The big environmental catastophe staring modern civilisation in the face is that of dwindling finite resources. We know oil and gas resources are finite. We also know that the known reserves are predicted to last only decades rather than centuries. If humans are causing global warming, then in 40 years’ time, when the oil and gas begins to run out, the warming will go into reverse as CO2 emissions begin to decline!
