Ireland is failing to meet its Kyoto commitments,transport emissions are now 165% higher than in 1990,total emissions are at 70 million tonnes, 25.5% above the 1990 figure where Ireland is only allowed a 13% increase.Not looking to good for Kyoto is it.Bali surely has to be another joke.

Recycling

Good habit ,we should all take it up.But where does it go to? My photo today shows scrap metal from Ireland being sent abroad as there is no longer a steel industry here.It was sold for bugger all by an inept government just as happened to the British steel industry and so the scrap is sent thousands of miles and this surely is fecking nuts.The story with glass is a similar one and yet there are many ways in which recycled materials can be used locally.Maybe the problem is that the greens who push the agenda are a little too green in the other meaning of the word.

Paying for Peer Reviewed Papers

17Jan08

Why should we , the long-suffering taxpayers have, to fork out whats left of our hard earned cash to read such items? We already subsidise the bloomin universities so I reckon that to allow Elsevier and others to sell the research is a form of intellectual prostitution.PLOS is a step in the right direction but should this material be available to those of us who study at home and do not have £10-50 to pay out for work which we have sponsored via our taxes? Its not as if the authors of the papers get rich,its the bloody middlemen again.
