Tony Kearney Where is the Rest of the Universe?

As you may or may not know 96% of the Universe is "missing". Please kindly check your cupboards to see if you are unwittingly hiding some of it. Thank you! OK so scientists can't explain why the Universe is expanding at an accelerating rate rather than slowing down as you would expect, so they have come up with the idea of dark matter and dark energy to explain it. There's no proof of either, but it's a nice idea and helps justify spending billions on Hadron Colliders that might blow us all up,… Continue

Tony Kearney Copenhagen - Success or Failure?

Having been in Copenhagen for some of the COP15 process over the last two weeks and watching like everyone else the - will they, won't they - charade played out by the world's leaders one is forced to ask the question - did the Conference end in abject failure or was it in fact a success? It is hard to see the Conference as being any kind of success, but then that depends on how we define success and what eyes we use to look at the gathering with. Yes, of course we all hoped that the world's p… Continue

Zand Craig Quick Guide to COP15 - The UN Climate Change talks in Copenhagen

Primer [1] [2] Point of Clarification: The COP in COP15 doesn’t stand for Copenhagen.

[3] Representatives from 192 countries that have ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1992) grouped into three categories, as follows… > Annex 1 Countries: Industrialized nations, e.g. USA, members of the EU, transi… Continue

Tony Kearney Are We Missing the Point Here?

OK so next week COP15 kicks off in Copenhagen and although Barack Obama is now attending the signs are that no binding agreements are going to be reached about lowering emissions. I hope I am wrong but the signs aren't looking great at the moment. So will it be another bout of rhetoric, protectionism, silo mentalities, reality denials and posturing? Well maybe, because I am going for some of it so look out for me there! :) See:… Continue

Tony Kearney UK Plays Ostrich

In the last few weeks the UK Government has announced that it has given the green light for 10 more nuclear stations to be built to help cover energy supply over the next 30 to 50 years and help lower its CO2 emissions. Or so they say. Well done team, you have once again shown impeccable leadership where denial of the realities is concerned. Firstly, the building nuclear power stations doesn't lower CO2 emissions because if one looks at the the amount of CO2 emissions incurred in building the… Continue

Tony Kearney Fast Food Ain't that Fast!

Feeling peckish? Don't fancy cooking something yourself, but rather prefer to pop out and get some fast food? Well if so, best not go to the local fast food joint because the food they provide there just isn't that fast in all honesty. Oh sure they may cook it up for your right there and then or maybe it's even already there for you pre-prepared for you and all you have to do is drive in, place your order, pick it up and pay for it and off you go. Well what can be faster than that you might sa… Continue

Tony Kearney How Much Does Water Cost?

One of the things that gives a false impression about the true costs of things is that often the price of natural resources is not included in the bottom line. As an example, the use of water in producing a beef burger. Water is regarded as a free resource, which is just as well because it takes over 1000 litres of water to produce one beef burger by the time it has gone through the food chain. Imagine if you had to pay £1 for every litre of water within the food chain according to how much hidd… Continue

Kevin Flanagan 'Great expectations' By Chris Cook - for an energy based reserve global currency

'Great expectations' By Chris Cook - for an energy based reserve global currency Really interesting idea to use energy as the value measure for a global reserve currency to replace the dollar. Check it out. "My first reaction on reading of President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace prize, after just nine months in office, was perplexity, as was my second and third. But perhaps the prize was awarded not in recognition for what the US president has done, but what the Norwegian committee is hoping he w… Continue

Ada Ketchie Consumer Conscience & Eco-Ethical Fashion

Read below a recent posting off the Andean Collection Blog. The Andean Collection is a socially responsible, fashion forward, eco-friendly and fair trade collection of jewelry. I give my personal endorsement as I have purchased and LOVE the yellow multiple strand Acai necklace. People compliment me on it all the time, which gives a great opportunity to spread the even deeper message and ethic behind the jewlery itself and the community ties it has built and sustains. As I just read… Continue

Tony Kearney You Cannot be Serious FSA!!

So the British Foods Standards Agency (FSA) has deigned down upon us all their view that organic food has no health benefits over "ordinary" food. Funny how food that is produced by using chemicals and pesticides is now regarded as being "ordinary" food don't you think? It's not natural, but thankfully and to much relief all round, the FSA has decreed it to be "ordinary". Phew! It is even more funny (peculiar, not ha ha) that when you think about it that we are therefore the only species on the… Continue

Tony Kearney Beyond Teflon!

Following on from my last blog about NASA crashing a probe into the Moon, since the recent return of the Space Shuttle one of the greatest space secrets of all time can now be revealed. It could be as big as the mystery of the Holy Grail, the riddle of the Sphinx and what really happened to Sheargar combined! Now over time NASA has sought to justify the horrendous expenditure they have incurred by claiming that numerous amazing inventions have come out of the space programme as side effect… Continue
