Look of some of the outcomes of Global Warming Propaganda:
CO₂ – a natural part of the air we breathe, a substance which increase in the atmosphere boosts global flora, was deemed a pollutant. On this basis we are being brainwashed with ideas like "carbon footprint" and a concept that by using electrical/fossil generated power we damage the Earth climate.
Based on those, we are given stuff like:
Ban on incandescent bulbs taking place now in Europe, USA and Australia. The bulbs are being forcibly replaced by CFL bulbs which not only produce ugly-coloured, unhealthy type of light (attributed to many medical conditions). They also pose a biohazard, as they contain mercury. They cannot be disposed of in a normal way and if broken, special measures have to be taken in your home (ones in place for a biohazard incident, literally). People are unaware of the risk and most are plain lazy – they throw them away in the bin, and as a result they poison ground waters.
How in the world is this eco – friendly?
On the economy side... CFL are only more economical if they're used in intervals longer than 40 minutes – before that they warm up taking more power than incandescent bulbs.
Now, I am a conscious citizen, I only turn the light on when I need to. For instance, my bathroom light is rarely on for longer than 40 minutes.
Speaking of light bulb longevity.. a CFL just died in my apartment after a year of use (yes, the one in the bathroom). Where do I throw it away? No, really, tell me where. I live in Dublin. As I said, I'm a conscious citizen. I keep it with old batteries for the time being. But I bet 90% of people don't give a shit and they put mercury in the ground, polluting the shit of future generations.How is this environmentally friendly?
Are we being screwed or what?

- Never heard this. Can you prove it?joeth
- no he can't. who says CFLs are THE authoritative solution? and there is a balance to be had with co2. excess co2 above optimal levels IS pollution.spifflink
