Some ammusing historical comments about our climate from newspapers and scientists over the last century or so:
-
radical change in climate conditions and . . . unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone ... thrown off its icy mantle and opened its waters to navigation ... total failure of the ice crop ...another world ice-epoch is due... new ice age ...deeper snows ...mysterious warming of the climate ...Sea mammals, vanishing ... warming of climate ...unanimous agreement on only one point: it is getting colder...plunging us toward another Ice Age...North Pole may become an open sea within a decade or two... animal life in the sea will be extinct...Civilization will end within 15 or 30 ... a new Ice Age will be born...Arctic climate is becoming more frigid... trigger an ice age...“It's already getting colder... no end in sight to the cooling trend of the last 30 years...dust-dry farmland and disease...raise average annual temperatures ... horrific drought...Himalayan glaciers could vanish... warmest year on record ...Arctic warming [^] So, I think I see a pattern here: The climate changes, sometimes getting warmer, and sometimes getting colder. However there are always alarmists scientists spreading scare stories about death and destruction, and there are always newspapers prepared to print those stoires, regardless of the direction of the change. Notice the '30 year cooling trend'. And the 'civilisation ending in 15 to 30 years'? It is all so familiar...

Today climate change, tomorrow... something else. That doesn't mean to say they are all right/wrong just that it feels like crying wolf most of the time. Every few years you get a new something that spells doom: it all gets a bit 'whatever'.

I take it you've read the article or did you skim it?
The Japanese government has launched a campaign encouraging people to go to bed and get up extra early in order to reduce household carbon dioxide emissions.
encourage and being told are completely different.

Generally, but a life-time of thinking carbon dioxide (which animals exhale and plants inhale) is a toxic gas that is destroying the planet has had to have effected you negatively.

Do you support the government telling (or encouraging as you like to refer to it) people to go to bed early to reduce their carbon emissions?

Its the '30 year cycle' thing, which (either real or not) scientists seem to like applying. Therefore unless you are old enough you wont have heard of all the cooling stories in the 70s that preceded the current trend of warming scare stories. I am, and I did, as did quite a few others here.

So taking your interpritation of that article then If I encourage you to stop posting here for your own self esteem. Am I a. Telling you its better for your health b. Or advising you that if you stop you will regain your self esteem?

Im not old enough to know of the colding stories but the most vivid story of the global warming crisis is from the carbon gas's emmited from the fridge freezers in the 80's

water if inhaled can kill yet it is a neccessity for life, if you were submerged in it would you be happy? or dead? just because of fact A is true does not stop fact B from being true and to think it does shows a lack of logical thinking. carbon dioxide may or maynot be a factor in climate change (and history says it does - although not manmade) but as it is caused (least the bit we can effect) by wastefull processes, then surely reducing these emmisions cannot be a bad thing?

It is bad economically and societially. Good for governments though because they get more control. Good for special interest in government because they get billions of dollars.

Agreed. Reducing emissions earlier would've stopped certain events such as 4000 people dying in London in 1952 (although unofficial figures estiamte at around 12k) due to the heavy levels of smog caused by horrendous air pollution. Clean air act passes: "holy crap these buildings aren't actually black" people exclaim as they venture outside and give the walls a clean. I think there's been a couple of similar incidents around the world. So even if reducing wasteful emissions do or don't affect climate change, local are environment would definately improve. A fart in an enclosed space is worse than in a field for example. :-D

Again you need to stop thinking that governments are TELLING as the article show and states that they are starting a campaign to ENCOURAGE governments tell you do something by passing laws governments encourage you by starting campaigns. and to answer your question, I think going to bed has many benefits other than carbon reduction benifits.

Again, what do you think about governments "encouraging" people to go to bed early to reduce carbon emissions.
