liars deniers and clothesline dryers

Dear Editor

I cannot decide which environmental story this week is most insane. 1. A Swedish university has received $590,000 to measure the greenhouse gases released when cows belch(95 percent of the methane comes out this end of the cow). 2. Ontario wants to end clothesline ban by summer(dryers use about 900 kilowatt hours of electricity a year on average). 3. Farmers do not wish to grow biofuel (food comes from farmers not from Safeway). 4.Global warming denier (liar?) Tim Ball is coming to Stavely (to prove 99 per cent of the world's scientists are all wet). When the earth has been subdued by our collective stupidity, perhaps a cow will belch our epitaph, I told you so.

When I was a boy, my farmer relatives all said "The government is doing something, or maybe the Russians, I tell you, and it is changing the weather!!". Now that we really are having an impact on the weather, farmers (or people who say they are farmers) are some of the people who don't believe it, even regularly calling scientists who spend their days trying to find the mechanisms and measure the real results "liars".

Go figure.

Is that true that Stavely (AB??) is going to have a anti climate change talk? when and where will that be?
