  2. Let me get this straight.....they want us to cut down on eating meat because the creatures we eat,consume plant material which has been fertilised with Nitrogen based fertiliser?

    Did they forget that if we all eat more veg instead of meat then we'll be the ones consuming the Nitrogen fertilised plants? The net result would be????

    We just need to grow more Beans and Peas, both for us to eat and as feedstuff for the animals too. All Legumes take Nitrogen from the air and "fix" it in the soil via their roots, storing it in nodules on the root system - basic crop rotation means where you grow Legumes one year, you plough the roots into the soil and plant a Nitrogen needy crop (all leafy veg) the following year. We've known this since at least Victorian times.

    Cut down on meat, never! :blink:

  3. Ok cheers guys :) Hasn't that happened in the past though, just not since humans have been around?? or something like that?

    I believe so, i will stick with my opinion that this is just a natural phase, not human intervention.

  4. Using the modis images over the last few days, you can clearly see where the ice is fracturing and spreading towards Novaya Zemlya and leaving a increasingly large area south of the Franz Josef Islands completely ice free. This process has added over 100,000km2 to the overall extent recently.

    Gaining ice for a few days into April isn't all that unusual though, happens in many years such as 1988 which gained roughly 120,000km2 between the 31st March and 3rd April. If it continues for more than just another few days or we even manage to reach a new maximum, then this will be exceptional.

    Anywho, looks like the ice bridge in the Nares Strait is beginning to give way. Some large chunks broke off yesterday and several more cracks have formed near the edge.

    That can't be good......
