So, we know the news always try and scare us (especially with all that global warming carp)

Scarlett. · 15-01-2009, 10:52 PM

The choccy bars went from 40p to 60p at ciollege

Tom4784 · 15-01-2009, 11:08 PM

It depends how you look at it, some people aren't feeling the effects while other people are really struggling. Our family hasn't been affected much at all yet so I can't really say in dpeth how bad it might be for others.

400 Pounds a day? My stepdad earns that in about a week and a half!

It is bad but nowhere near as bad as the media try to make out
They need a story so they just use all the economic gloom and make it sound worse than it is to buy the newspapers, watch the news and that

Stu · 16-01-2009, 06:53 AM

While I understand people are losing jobs, it is by no means the end of the world.

About the global warming comment however : I dont get how people can still be so naive towards it. Bad or not, the Earth IS in ****. It's not a media scare story, FFS.

Sticks · 16-01-2009, 06:57 AM

Yes - and it is probably much worse

We seem to have got into a feedback loop causing things to degenerate fast.

I would like to see if this can be modeled using non-linear maths and chaos theory.

NettoSuperstar! · 16-01-2009, 07:49 AM

Lol sticks you crack me up! ...and if I just can fit this damned flux capacitor!

Businesses need to evolve and be in touch with whats going on in the modern world. Thats why the likes of Woolies, Adams etc wont survive! Theyre out of touch. I think things will pick up in a couple of years, seems to go in cycles this recession lark!

pinkmichk · 16-01-2009, 09:27 AM

i'm not sure but i do think we are not in the worst part of it yet i'm not affected at the moment cos thankfully food prices have started coming down

lily. · 16-01-2009, 09:38 AM

It depends on your circumstances really. There are people who are badly affected by it, but I'm not one of them thankfully.

We don't have a huge income, and we don't have a mortgage..

I think people with huge mortgages, 2 cars, etc, are being affected more than people who didn't really have much to begin with. lol

Finally being skint pays off..

Hes Just a contractor at Yell.

My dad is a project manager there, and doesnt make anywhere near that which is why he wants redundancy because you make a lot more as a contractor.

The bloke also does something with like importing computers or somthing but he makes money from that to..

He has a 60 foot yatch lol which is pretty cool.

Yes Natural global warming.

Yeh have to sort of agree with Andy (wow makes a change eh Andy? lol). Im sceptical that global warming is down to our carbon emissions!...We'll get moderated soon for going off topic!

Fom · 16-01-2009, 11:39 AM

The global warming isn't caused by us but we are pushing it forwards and pushing it further than it should be going. It's not our fault it's as bad as it is, but it's or fault for making it worse. Cutting down will help control it and can make it a little less worse. If we manage to stop the earth going 2 degrees warmer so many lives will be saved. Thats possible if we cut emissions.

And is the recession is as bad as it seems? For some people yes... for teenagers obviously not. But for builders, people owning shops and people trying to sell their house it is hell for them. People are losing jobs, shops are closing, and no one can sell anything because no one wants to buy anything. You might not think it is bad, but think of all these people's lives that are ruined by losing jobs... and no where else is hiring because they dont want to spend money on that. So all these people losing jobs have no where else to go!

Many people don't buy into the left wing crazy lies! It is a huge con but many fall for it because clever lies are being used that covers the facts! If all burning of fosil fuels stopped it would still be the same! Yes global warming is real just like the many thousands of times it has happend in the past! We live on a Active living planet with solar and deep space activity that affects our planet and will continue to do say with humans here or not.

30stone · 16-01-2009, 11:45 AM

We are causing global warming yet our summers are getting colder ...

Ill still rev high when driving lol. Changing gear at 2500 rpm helps the environment
