1-usa doesn't produce all of the greenhouse gas emissions.......
........no they don't (damn close though).... its closer to 1/3 of world wide greenhouse gas emissions.... they consume 24million out of the 80 something million barrels of oil per day... If China, India, Russia, Brazil was to consume barrels with the same strategy as the US (consume every barrel in sight) then the world would become a barren desert... for a population of 350something million people it is horiffic... The US could never accept the omissions they create, it would be far to costly for them by imposed taxes....
2-most tellingly, USA isn't a single identity. There are millions of people with millions of different opinions with the ability to do there own research and publish there findings....
.............All im saying is that im highly suspicious of any figures released by a government department of the USA in relation to global warming...(U.S. National Space Science and Technology center) (NSSTC) gets all its research grants from the govt.... they have every incentive to cover up, and create different excuses for the cause for Global warming...

we have a hole in our O-Zone layer because of all the omissions, u-v rays are aloud to enter....which heats up the earth unnaturally.... back 1million years it ago was natural.... and besides there weren't americans 1 million yrs ago either.... can't compare buddy...

Nope. Nor have I thought about the impact of fault line or volcanic activity – other than if you live near by when one is happening you are screwed. And others will do very well as the old demand/supply kicks in.Quote:

Has anyone though about how rising sea levels are going to impact on the NZ property market???
What the hell is wrong with you crude one, lets forget the shrewd. Every situation has a good effect in business if you read it right. Perhaps you want to save the world, which is completely different, if so join a church, and get crusading. Sell life boats, or air conditioning units for christ sake, or build a house at the top of Mt Cook to lease it out to the less fortunate. We had a volcano that shot that much pollution up that the moon looked blue in the not to distant past. Look at the AUSTRALIAN bushfires, why not fine them for that. This bullsh*t about global warming could not have come at a better time,Might stop the out of oil disaster. The Yanks are the biggest bull artists in the world today, but dont expect them to follow this crap.Quote:

The biggest polluter is natural pollution forget about cars and start to worry about volcanoes and bush fires.:D:D:Dmacdunk
I think there is a global warming thread somewhere.........
If you believe the shore line are retreating this could be a good investment for you, all you have to do is buy the cheaper houses one street back from the beach and soon it will be a beach front property.Quote:

delgary- with statistics you can find information to support any argument... no matter how ridiculous your source is....its just baloney... maybe 1998 was a super hot year, and those other years are cooler in comparison.... but we definately have a trend of much warmer world wide temperatures, the changes are not natural changes....
small island nations are starting to disapear.....
go ask Majuro where its beachfront has gone...
There is evidence that in America retreating shore lines are occuring as well....
trackers-you should be concerned....
mac dunk- you are right that the ice on the top that counts the most when it melts.... well the ice on the top is melting....
Sea levels rise for 2 reasons
1- ice melting, (we already have this)....
sea ice in the Artic Ocean is thinning, massive antartic ice sheets have collapsed into the sea with alarming rapidity
and 2- thermal expansion of water as the temperature rise the sea becomes less dense and then expands....
the ice cap on mount Kilimanjaro may be gone in 20 years... about 1/3 of kilimanjaro ice fields have dissapeared in 12years....and 82% has vanisheed since it was first mapped in 1912.... what do you have to say about that delgary?
all I no is that we have icebergs floating off the coast of Dunedin, natural disasters world wide are worse than ever before, we in NZ have had the worst summer of all time... ice sheets are melting and delgary says temperatures are falling but yet sea levels are rising..... I could show you one million articles supporting global warming for every 1 that you show me against it...
hahhaha, classic buddy

Hello Shrewd Crude. Back on topic here, metaphorically speaking.
Here is a general concept. The young are rich in time but poor in assets, the older being poor in time & often rich in assets. Learning how to use the time factor is like a sailor learning how to use the wind.
Buying property is like catching a train on the Johnsonville line. If you can only afford a ticket to Crofton Downs, that will get you on the way to Johnsonville quicker than waiting around for the full price ticket to J'ville. I bought my first property at 24, I took on two jobs to get the deposit. Most people will say buying their first property takes sacrifices, & it is still true today. If it is important to you, you can find a way to do it. Don't dwell on it taking thirty years to pay off, if you're into investment at 22, that concern won't be an issue.
Worrying about various disasters is a waste of time, if one occurs you'll be screwed whether you hold property or not. Having faith in the future goes hand in hand with success. Watch people around you over a few years & this will be confirmed to you. Fretting is for losers. Don't get sucked in.
So here endeth the sermon.
Or you could walk to J'ville and invest your money in shares. :DQuote:
