From The Greens Australian website.
3.15 Recognising that air transport causes considerable environmental damage and is also less fuel efficient by a large factor particularly to transport by rail or by sea, the Australian Greens consider it important that the environmental costs of air transport are taken into account openly and incorporated into the cost of air travel.


I Guess that means that w**ker Bob Brown takes the ferry to Melb. and then train to CB rather than fly.......

Not sure if the "first" bible was in Hebrew...I see where you are coming from, but am pretty sure it was Aramaic (sp?)
Old Testament was written in Hebrew, the New Testament was written in Greek. 14 books (the Apochrypha) from ancient Israel were left out for various reasons (like conflicting with the other books etc)

What we read today is a hodge podge of the various versions eg English translation of a Latin translation of the original text...

Perhaps someone should ask him. Or expose the hypocrisy to the media

Correct me if I'm wrong here....are some posters getting the Ozone Layer confused with Greenhouse Warming?

I thought the Ozone Layer blocked harmful UV radiation from reaching the earths surface and CFC's were causing holes to develop in it.

I can't see what this has to do with excessive CO2 emissions causing a 'greenhouse' effect..

SIX SIX SIX!!!???!!

Hang on, I'll just add up all my Mastercard digits and divide it by the expiry date... ****, 3.52

Wait, wait.... look at this, the bar code on my psychiatric medication, when divided by the number of hooves on the four horses of the Apocalypse, multiplied by the daily cash rate, is.... is... bugger, twelve point one.

Nope, no armageddon just yet.

Rest easy, air-hag.

The sun will rise tomorrow.

Buy yourself a copy of "Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators", at least that will get you a job!

3.16 The Australian Greens believe there are many unexplored possibilities for decreasing the dependence on air travel. One of these is the expansion of teleconferencing. In general, the Australian Greens will support measures such as tax incentives which will encourage people to travel less by air.


1. is that just a co-incidence that 3:16, or is there something else......

2. oohh how i'd love to go on a tele conference trip to Fiji - some ESOL dude can sweep me away with descriptions of the sun/sand/surf/warmth/girls. i wouldn't even have to get out of bed!
