lowimpakt: "no raf - you presented a conspiracy theory - i questioned the logic behind it so now it is up to you to defend and prove it."
Ya rafal of 2009 seems to have been seduced by an intricate webs of conspiracy theories mounted on conspiracy theories. Don't know how he can keep them all in his head without inducing some sort of paradoxical melt-down.

Nairn, I'm afraid it's scientists vs. scientists.
Unless these NASA folks who deny AGW have some secret theocratic agenda.

If it were all profit motivated, wouldn't a lightbulb with a tenth of the lifespan actually be the better deal for the manufacturer? They are all made by GE, right?

Lowimpakt: Point taken. I just get frustrated when we see religious nutcases piping up about creation and how this is gods way. Then we see people banging on about this whole environment thing as a scare mongering conspiracy theory. Then there's the people who think "what's the point?" there's no evidence, and there's nothing we can do about it anyway.
I just find doing something positive makes me feel better. Surprising innit!?

The Denial Machine
http://video.google.ca/videoplay…
In the past few years, a hurricane has engulfed the debate about global warming. This scientific issue has become a rhetorical firestorm with science pitted against spin and inflammatory words on both sides. This documentary shows how fossil fuel corporations have kept the global warming debate alive long after most scientists believed that global warming was real and had potentially catastrophic consequences. It shows that companies such as Exxon Mobil are working with top public relations firms and using many of the same tactics and personnel as those employed by Phillip Morris and RJ Reynolds to dispute the cigarette-cancer link in the 1990s. Exxon Mobil sought out those willing to question the science behind climate change, providing funding for some of them, their organizations and their studies.

The government gives you instructions what to do in case of biohazard (a broken eco-friendly light bulb):

How come the old, un-eco-friendly light bulbs did not require such measures?
