the steam railway has a telly outside, AWESOME Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: janaage on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 11:04:57 For environ-mental reasons, like saving the planet. They're really bad emissions wise I think.
Keep you nice and warm though eh. We had some on the go in Egypt last year, lovely jubbly. Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: Colin Todd on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 11:27:14 Meh. I'm still going to use mine in the summer, what are the thought police going to do about it?
Maybe I should burn my patio heater on a bonfire, would that be more environmentally friendly? If they send any coppers round I'll burn them as well. Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 11:31:44 Is there a news link somewhere? I can't find anything. I know the Energy Savings Trust and other such bodies have been calling for people to just wear warm jumpers since the smoking ban came in. Haven't heard anything about them being banned though.
Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: janaage on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 11:47:42 It was on BBC Breakfast news this morning with the Business guy, Declan, talking to a publicans representative - who seemed quite upset about it all.
Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: Batch on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 12:11:06 Pah,
Major world power (USA) only manage to agree to talk about cutting their countries contribution to world climate change sometime in 2012. Meanwhile the little guys go cold on their patios. Once again it's one rule for them, and one rule for us. Having said that, if global warming happens, we won't need patio heaters. Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: sonic youth on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 12:20:03 i don't understand what the problem is with wearing a coat or something.
Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: red macca on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 12:22:25 Fuck climate change
Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 12:23:33 Don't think it it would really bother me either Sonic. I've noted a few times that those patio heaters can't be a good thing whilst enjoying a pub cigarette.
Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: ghanimah on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 12:52:57 I'm not bothered either way although with incandescent lightbulbs being banned as well, you wonder what else they will think of. It's not like it's going to make much difference to global warming anyway.
Personally I'm more bothered that this is yet another regulation being imposed on us by Europe which we have no say in. Perhaps it's just me being silly, I thought we lived in a democracy where we decided our own affairs. Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: Dazzza on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 12:58:28 Anyone have any linkage?
We haven't gone non-smoking yet over here in the sunny Isle of Man but it's due to kick off at the end of March. Hopefully we'll give that bit of legislation the same treatment we gave tax. A miss! Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: ghanimah on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 13:01:28 Reported in many papers as well

Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 13:26:04 so what happens if you like have one in your garden or something? will Greenpeace turn up in a boat or a waggon and take it away?
Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 13:33:13 I wouldn't worry too much, I doubt that even if it did happen it would take a while.
Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: genf_stfc on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 14:01:25 just have a bonfire instead

Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: red macca on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 14:27:21 Apparantly the sun is cooling down so I don’t see the problem with this climate bollocks, the fact the sun is cooling down suggests that getting rid of the heaters is a bit premature and will just give more people the sniffles.
Think of the days off sick now because of these heaters being removed Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: genf_stfc on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 14:38:19 Quote from: "red macca" Apparantly the sun is cooling down you what ? don't talk rubbish ! the press would have you believe that 'scientists are unsure about global warming' and portray it as a 50-50 split on opinion. if you go to any scientific conference, read peer reviewed journals you will find out of 100 scientists there is probably 1 that doesn't believe in global warming (and then you find out he is funded by BP). edit: although don't get me wrong, on my rant, patio heaters have fuck all to do with global warming..

Hard facts, there are none Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: genf_stfc on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 14:53:19 a mate of mine just won the nobel prize for it (actually true - al gore might be a bit of a tit, but at least he had the decency to share the prize with the scientists that actually did the work)

oh, and stop fishing ! Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: BANGKOK RED on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 14:58:45 I spent 4 days on the beach for xmas and did not get sunburned. If that is not conclusive then I don't know what is.
Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: red macca on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 15:02:34 Straight up Gen im not fishing its just a massive £££££ con imo .
Fair play to your mate though ,would be interested to read some of his stuff Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: genf_stfc on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 15:23:15 certainly a lot of whats said about it is cobblers and used as an excuse to add another fiver to your plane ticket, which doesn't really help anyone realise that climate change is real, it is man made and we're 100% buggered if we don't do owt about it.
on the other side, statements about things like the Sun cooling down, which have absolutely no scientifically supported effect, are used to discount climate change and justify not doing anything about all the black smoke coming out of your factory's chimney. article about the award and links on the site to the work if interested http://www.noc.soton.ac.uk/nocs/news.php?action=display_news&idx=410 one might well question exactly what this has to do with Peace, but anyway its pretty damn cool. I think there was 1million quid prize money, which was, err shared amongst 3000 people, but anywaybetter than a poke in the eye with a stick. while we are on science, UK science is more fucked today (cancellation of solar physics, which has implications for understanding climate change) than it was even yesterday (cancellation of Gemini telescopes, which we already spent about 60 million quid building, but now can't use) because some idiots in STFC (polaris house, not magic roundabout) can't add up. We actually are an international laughing stock. Don't get me started on that.

Title: Patio Heaters to be banned Post by: BANGKOK RED on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 15:33:10 I think its actually a fact that the is cooling, but it will take something like a gzillion years for it to drop by 1 degree.

Plus the fact that STFC have nothing to do with climate change, that is handled by the Natural Enviroment Research Council - NERC for short.
