Harbin Ice Festival
One of the largest ice art events in the world is the annual Ice and Snow Festival at Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province in northeast China. The artists use chainsaws to cut architectural sculptures large enough to walk through. The festival attracts thousands of tourists and has become the city's biggest source of income; but global warming has reached even this frozen province. The sculptures are beginning to melt in the winter sunshine and the festival may end earlier than usual. Anyone who claims global warming isn't happening and that humanity isn't the cause of it is either an idiot or a greedy liar with a vested interest in keeping our hothouse steaming.

Some B21 contributors beg to differ. Must get pretty noisy of a night in a few local drinking establishments.
Global warming or no global warming, there's still peak oil and energy security to think of, not to mention waste mountains, habitat fragmentation and destruction and the RTA death and maiming toll (birds, badgers, hedghehogs etc as well as humans) caused by the four-wheeled motorised pests we've allowed to take over our towns and countryside.
Is there reasoning with such people?

Oh come on, don't tll me you sterling fellows from B21 don't believe that global warming is happening! I didn't write it was the only problem. There's a bout of egg-throwing going on in Barkingside High Street. I got splashed last Tuesday and a colleague at work saw girls throwing eggs. Where are our fuzz?
