I'd reverse the rise of the underclass. The generations of scum that take everything and give nothing, that have no morals, no sense of decency no care for their fellow man.

 

There goes 90% of your market.

Au Contraire,

 

They don't need a taxi from the supermarket, they just take the trolley.

 

They don't need a taxi to the pub, they just sit in their gardens drinking cider.

 

Luckily I can count the scum bags I've taxied in 7 years on one hand.

Is that on the rise?

 

 

Still lower than when the tories were last in as far as i can see.

 

I'm certain we'll see a massive rise now your boys are back in power and start cutting jobs all over though.

 

Especially round here where things are already the worst anywhere in the country...

I would like to reverse the rise of the EU.

 

just 'cos I don't like it!

Why do you lament their rise so much then?

 

I assume these are anecdotal scumbags you read about in the paper?

No trips to the Hill?

Nothing worse than a reformed scumbag

Seriously most people I pick up, even if pissed, seem very nice..... Even on the hill!

I don't necessarily think the slight changes in unemployment are that important. It's more the learned behaviour from their family enviroment.

 

And it's not just the numbers , it's the general lack of moral fibre a lot of them have.

 

If the Tories follow through with this national service thing I think that would be a great start.

Optional isn't it? Can't see many charvers volunteering for it.

Don't know the full plans but I would have thought they would link it to benefits etc?

 

Nice to see the stupid hips gone as well. Just selling a house at the mo and it's cost a fortune for basically a few hours work.

HF, that graph isn't very interesting. You need one which has the annual carbon emissions on it as well, otherwise all it shows is a trend, and frankly, so what. I'd like to see one with average solar radiation etc as well if that's available.

 

Yeah have you got one with the moon on a stick too?

 

Everything but that...

 

 

Rapid growth spurt leaves amount of ice at levels seen 29 years ago.

 

Thanks to a rapid rebound in recent months, global sea ice levels now equal those seen 29 years ago, when the year 1979 also drew to a close.

 

Ice levels had been tracking lower throughout much of 2008, but rapidly recovered in the last quarter. In fact, the rate of increase from September onward is the fastest rate of change on record, either upwards or downwards.

 

The data is being reported by the University of Illinois's Arctic Climate Research Center, and is derived from satellite observations of the Northern and Southern hemisphere polar regions.

 

Each year, millions of square kilometers of sea ice melt and refreeze. However, the mean ice anomaly -- defined as the seasonally-adjusted difference between the current value and the average from 1979-2000, varies much more slowly. That anomaly now stands at just under zero, a value identical to one recorded at the end of 1979, the year satellite record-keeping began.

 

Sea ice is floating and, unlike the massive ice sheets anchored to bedrock in Greenland and Antarctica, doesn't affect ocean levels. However, due to its transient nature, sea ice responds much faster to changes in temperature or precipitation and is therefore a useful barometer of changing conditions.

 

Earlier this year, predictions were rife that the North Pole could melt entirely in 2008. Instead, the Arctic ice saw a substantial recovery. Bill Chapman, a researcher with the UIUC's Arctic Center, tells DailyTech this was due in part to colder temperatures in the region. Chapman says wind patterns have also been weaker this year. Strong winds can slow ice formation as well as forcing ice into warmer waters where it will melt.

 

Why were predictions so wrong? Researchers had expected the newer sea ice, which is thinner, to be less resilient and melt easier. Instead, the thinner ice had less snow cover to insulate it from the bitterly cold air, and therefore grew much faster than expected, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

 

In May, concerns over disappearing sea ice led the U.S. to officially list the polar bear a threatened species, over objections from experts who claimed the animal's numbers were increasing.

While we're on it the trend for lay people claiming to know better than scientists and questioning their findings could be reversed to.

 

Scientists question their own findings more than enough, that's why evolution's still only a threory 150 years after being hypothesised. They don't need white van men telling them they're wrong based on gut instinct.

 

The Godfather of Scientific enquiry said “Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory, but a metaphysical research program”.

 

That explains why evolution is still debated amongst scientists.

 

He also said that science never proves anything, it can only falsify theories and produce new ones.

Bit disappointed this has nothing to do with a DJ Sy set.
