Fantastic. Lead in petrol anyone ? CFC in aerosols ? Clear effects from humans on the environment that people initially didn't believe or accept until some significant amount of time after the poisons had been pumped out and dome their irreversible damage to thousands of people (in the case of lead). Anyone happy to live under a HV power transmission line ? That's got no proof that it causes cancer but people get upset about it and chose to take the cautious approach...why ? because it directly affects them, its the me vs us as always. |

| 1292573 | 2012-08-05 22:55:00 | I seem to recall there was a "consensus by the majority of experts" that the Earth was flat at one point... It is highly unlikely that any espousing a flat earth theory were cyclists. Also, it is extremely unusual to encounter a flat point no matter how you travel. ;) |

You seriously need to relax... +1 By far the most dangerous thing any of us does, based on real world statistics, is to travel from point A to point B on the road. Very few think twice about doing that. |

You seriously need to relax... Fantastic well structured debate. Yes of course there are lots of things you can worry about, some obviously have bigger potential implications than others. Good job you're an IT person and not a policy maker is all I can say. Would you live under a HV power transmission line Mr Cool ?? |

| 1292577 | 2012-08-05 23:46:00 | Based on.....? Based on the number of scientist that disagree with the panic about man made climate change or what ever the current term for it is now that global warming isn't happening. |

Or do i need to put smiley faces everytime something is humourous to make sure we all get it ? :D Forced time out under which forum rule? Can't see anything I've breached in that joke that's in the list provided? |
