ian - you keep talking about "we" then presenting the most insulting slovenly type of person you can.
It's more complicated than people being stupid or lazy and it is more complicated that "people getting together"
even the principle of "efficiency" is often flawed. have you heard of the rebound effect?
you're not going to get people to listen yo you if you sound like a smug bastard.
- Fair point. It's easy to generalise. Just reading about the rebound effect. Interesting,Ianbolton

raf said: "CFL... produce ugly-coloured, unhealthy type of light (attributed to many medical conditions). "
Eh, care to elaborate?
- Khurram0
raf said: "b. produces unhealthy, unnatural type of light,
c. is only more efficient under certain conditions?"more elaboration on such wild statements, please.
- If you can't even be bothered to do your own research then you are not worthy of any respect in a debateset
- I've heard a lot about CFLs, never that they can be less efficient than incandescent.joeth
- They are more efficient in long intervals, but take more energy when starting up, up to 40 minutes.raf
- ie. in a bathroom: you come in, light on, take a dump, light off – this light bulb took more power than incandescentraf
- set, shhhhh! grown-ups are talking.Khurram

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.

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!?

also raf, tell me more about this secret cabal of CFL light-bulb coorporations - considering the same people who made your beloved tungsten bulbs are the same people making the CFL bulbs.
And explain to me how this new group of CFL bulb makers have superceded in power the entrenched businesss of tungsten bulbs... god, this is getting surreal.
- I mentioned this earlier and got no response.DrBombay
- The life of the CFL is 10 times longer than their older product at the same price.DrBombay
- I don't think he's thought his conspiracy theories through. He jsut sorta, blurts them out.Khurram
- Yes they made tungsten too. They made huge investment to move on to CFL, leaving tungsten makers behind.raf

sup khurram I don't know enough on that CFL, but I have them all around my house so a little googling gave me this, I repeat I don't know shit about the subject so no need to attack me.

ha yeah, i know, i was gonna make another post about raf saying that if you break a CFL bulb you need a bio-hazard ermegency response unit to take care of it LOL
But i didn't want to overload him...
- Even governments consider them hazardous waste.raf
- Even government pet BBC admits http://news.bbc.co.u…raf

to be fair, raf is also a man paranoid about the adding of fluride to our water supply... which is why he only ever drinks malt licquor
- and you are happy to have flouride in your drinking water? If so, you sir, are a fucking moron.set
- Luckily for him there's no water fluoridation in UK as far as I remember. London tap water tastes like shit though:)raf
- fuck you set, twat face. I'm more than happy, it protects my teef.Khurram
- Ah I see, keep on being a moron then son. All the best, Set.set
- Yep, you shouldn't ingest fluoride.Mimio

Is this still being discussed?? Seriously??
With the bevy of papers and data out there demonstrating that, if there even is climate change happening in one direction or another, it isn't anthropogenic... how is there still debate?
- lol. Dude, miko was baiting you ALL last week, where the fuck were you?Khurram
- hey! Busy as a one armed paper hanger with an itchy butt. Looks like i missed out.teleos

Republican funded Skeptic finds he now agrees global warming is real
A prominent physicist and skeptic of global warming spent two years trying to find out if mainstream climate scientists were wrong. In the end, he determined they were right: Temperatures really are rising rapidly.
One-quarter of the $600,000 to do the research came from the Charles Koch Foundation, whose founder is a major funder of skeptic groups and the conservative tea party movement. The Koch brothers, Charles and David, run a large privately held company involved in oil and other industries, producing sizable greenhouse gas emissions.
