What's ridiculous is what's inside your head! School starts again soon.
Hopefully we'll be rid of you and your stupid posts then.

We know that won't apply to you since you obviously never went to school.

IF it was true, they would be limiting, taxing births - thats about
the only practical way to stop this "problem".

Exactly. The planet can only support a finite number of humans and
other species. Humans want/intend to keep breeding to infinity.
Eventually a crisis point will be reached. In fact we're probably
already there.

I think we passed it long ago.

You're right !

This is an off topic post.

Conventional light bulbs are not efficient at producing light, they
are miniture heaters.

When compact fluorescent light bulbs become conventional, will we
call them conventional bulbs?

They won't become conventional. The whole process will be a dud.
Imagine traffic lights that neec 20 seconds to warm up?

New traffic lights use LEDs.

And old ones don't.

Yes, old ones use incandescents that blow regularly. I know because I've
called VicRoads 12 times in about the last six months to report blown
globes in just a 4km x 1km square of Melbourne.

That's a rectangle, you idiot.

emitted enough light to cause a problem sleeping!

You're right !

This is an off topic post.

Conventional light bulbs are not efficient at producing light,
they are miniture heaters.

The CFL are designed for maximum light, with reduced power
wastage. Sure there is mercury in them, and they dont work with
dimmers, but they save a whole lot
of money on electricity!

They might technically save money on electricity, but the
unaffordable upfront cost

We get them for free here in Melbourne.

From whom?

http://www.envirosaver.com.au/

Driving out to your home to replace the light bulbs enables EnviroSaver
to "create" carbon credits, which it then sells to businesses to offset
their emissions.

What a ridiculous scheme.

And why shouldn't individuals purchase carbon credits to offset their
domestic emissions?

And what about people who run home businesses?

Why should anyone pay for this fairy story about "man made climate
change". ?

I was speaking in the context of the 'EnviroSaver' scheme (in which, it
appears, domestic users are *paid* to reduce their 'carbon footprint'
while businesses are forced to *pay* to reduce theirs).

IF it was true, they would be limiting, taxing births - thats about the
only practical way
to stop this "problem".

Or we could all become voluntary herbivores.

Actually, he carefully omitted the word "University" from his claim.

Actually it was already included.
You really lead a very sad life.

And as I revealed in another thread, the East Gippsland Institute of TAFE
is closely aligned with the Monash University campus and issues
"certificates" rather than "parchments" (because despite being aligned
with a university, it's not actually a university itself).

Which of course has nothing to do with anything, other than your
imagination.
But hey, if it keeps you off the streets then I guess that must be a good
thing!

BTW, I once worked with over 200 other Engineers, (including PhD's), and I
never once heard anybody call their qualification a "parchment".
Most people simply call them a "Degree", sometimes a "Bachelors", often a
"Masters" or "Doctorate" for those with one, but since you don't have
either, it doesn't really matter.

Iced coffee.

Ice coffees are found in the freezer aisle; iced coffees are in the
refrigerated drinks sector.

Hope that both helps AND informs.

YOU'RE the one who's made a fool of himself by not following the

But since removing the bulb as someone else suggested, OR making sure the

the door is closed, it once again proves what a moron you.
