I didnt think England was in threat of any Tornado or Hurricane anytime soon, at least any really dangerous ones. Other than the one offs, such as the Tornadoe in north-west london at the end of last year. Your right though, England is in no way prepared for any Tornado and hurricane, anyone remember the 1987 hurricane.....Originally Posted by Iceglow
Anyway, its just cold in England now, nothing unusual.
Fuel Cells need don't produce energy, they just store it, like a more efficient battery. Something needs to give the energy to them to start with. Oil, coal, nuclear, animal, hydro, solar or wind power needs to be used to fuel the infamous "fuel cells"...
I think going to alternatives (from Oil) for cars is getting pretty inevitable now, so even the greedy are looking into it. Hopefuly there is still time to avoid a major crisis, like the one predicted below:
http://auto_sol.tao.ca/node/view/2416It's worth taking a moment to think about how events might unfold if the process occurs without intelligent management, driven simply by oil and gas depletion.
Facing high fuel prices, family farms would declare bankruptcy in record numbers.
Older farmers (the majority, in other words) would probably choose simply to
retire, whether they could afford to or not. However, giant corporate farms
would also confront rising costs - which they would pass along to consumers by
way of dramatically higher food prices.
Yields would begin to decline - in fits and starts - as weather anomalies and
water shortages affected one crop after another.
Meanwhile, people in the cities would also feel the effects of skyrocketing
energy prices. Entire industries would falter, precipitating a general economic
collapse. Massive unemployment...
Many people would leave cities looking for places to live where they could grow
some food. Yet they might find all of the available land already owned by banks
or the government. Without experience of farming, even those who succeeded in
gaining access to acreage would fail to produce much food and would ruin large
tracts of land in the process.
Eventually these problems would sort themselves out; people and social systems
would adapt - but probably not before an immense human and environmental tragedy
had ensued.

Me and my kids have dragon eggs:
No, from what I learned in science class, carbon dioxide is the most effective of the common greenhouse gasses and water vapor does relatively little.
Hey, guess what happens to water when it eVAPORates. Big deal if you have to wait 5 minutes for a puddle to dry up. xD
The cold-spell in California is pretty refreshing. It was 32F degrees (0C) this morning on my way to school. I don't believe I'ver ever witnessed it that low aside from night-time a week ago. Pretty crazy. I almost miss the 110F (43.3C) degree summer. :|
You need to coo coo cooz~~~~ to WARM yourself up!
seriously. It sucks. I mean it's supposed to be this cold here this time of the year but going from last week where is was 50's to this week where it's in the low double digets to high single is hard.
I like the cold. It's so nice.
Down in Melbourne it's about 40C (100+F). It's not so bad up here right now but it does tend to be worse in Sydney. We're due in for the annual heatwave any day now.
Our winters are nice and warm though at 15C-20C (60-70F)
Ditto...but I still like to complain.
Many thanks Christmas!
