macy time to cycle into work in the morning, we all have to do our bit after all

Actually, and totally seriously, I'd go one better if I was let. I've been trying to get e-working in here for those that want it, after a successful trial in one of the sections. The Government will not allow it.

Sure decentralising jobs is more important than the environment....

the amount of tim your logged into your pc and active could show your work done.....

Totally agree

That's right Max because, as we all know, you use your PC for work only.
You're some chancer boy!

logged in, working is a another subject


decentralisation is a one i kind of agree with, i'll give you a simple example and see what ya think.

my sister is in the dept of justice, the only way she could get a jod in the civil service starting off is in dublin and with rent, travel etc it left her with no money as a CO.....if she could have started in Longford or around the midlands her economic state would be easier, allowing her to save for a car/house. where as at the mo she hasn't a chance of that.

also i want out out of this kip of a city and am in the process of sorting out a house in Longford, if decentralisation allows me to do that, then i'm for it..

there are thousands on waiting lists to get down the country anyway, so let them down, but no one should be just made move down the country if they don't want to.

but for gov meetings it will be messy, but there are video conferences, we use them in here all the time.

Wasn't really trying to get into the decentralisation thing, which I am in favour of in theory - just the scale, time frame, options for semi state workers (there are none!), way it was announced, the way they're going about etc

If I took the option to go to the decentralised, I'd still have to commute. Give me e-working and I wouldn't have to drive the car everyday. That's before you get into the fact that it would actually help the decentralisation plans, as I could e-work, be technically based in the decentralised location for the once a week/fortnight/month meetings, so the w@nkers would have more chance of getting any kind of numbers.

Agree 100% with what you say, but as Homer says "I have a lot of work to do around the bed. I mean house!"

The Chinese city of Shanghai says it has successfully induced rain showers by firing chemicals into clouds, breaking a heat wave that has severely strained electricity supplies.

Sounds like you been watching too many comic book movies Peadar

greenhouse gasses etc are being given a disproportionate amount of blame imo. not once in the 4.5 billion years of this planets existence has it actually found a perfect state and remained unchanged. the planet always has heated up, cooled down heated up,got nuked by meteorites etc. to think it will suddenly stop changing and evolving just to suit us is naive-whether its a meteorite within the next 1000 years,or when the sun becomes a red giant in a few hundred million years.our activity in the long run is hardly going to save the human race for all eternity..WE'RE DOOMED..DOOMED I TELL YA, DOOOOOMMMED!!!!

the pessimist in me reckons for all the fossil fuels when they run out within 100 years or less its going to lead to world war 3 and wel all be dead anyway
but the optimist in me says that necessity is the mother of invention.when we run out of fossil fuels wel have no choice but to look for environmentaly friendly options so eventually wel have to use green energy whether we like it or not
