Maxie the atmosphere is fines and healthy. Lots of CO2 it put into there atmosphere and them it is sick.

[Doctor Drivel]

Boy! And thought you were dumb!

Sorry, that was total nonsense, would you like to try again

Take your medication first this time

[Tim Streater]

Is this English?

[Tony Bryer]

Small hydro plant at Teddington Lock has been under consideration for years. Don't think it will come anywhere near 'huge' though.

[Doctor Drivel]

That was the idea Maxie. As you write it you may understand it better that way..

[Doctor Drivel]

To Maxie, yes.

[Tim Streater]

Well you wrote it, dumb-cluck. Perhaps you'd care to translate for us lesser mortals.

[John Rumm]

Are you suggesting the atmosphere is alive then?

[John Rumm]

Only to you it would seem. Perhaps you would explain the chemistry to us less enlightened?

[John Rumm]

Which part of "Its probably like the one I have" did you not understand?

[Steve Firth]

Go on Drivel, post a reference that supports your claim, for once in your miserable existence.

[Steve Firth]

In this instance you don't. If you think that CO2 is a toxin then no doubt you consider water, nitrogen, argon, helium, oxygen, xenon, neon to be toxic.

exhaust also contains particulates. There is no evidence that the

*carbon particles* in diesel exhaust cause cancer.

Diesel exhaust contains 3-nitrobenzanthrone, a powerful mutagen and a fiarly unique signature of diesel exhaust. That is a much more likely cause of cancer from diesel exhaust than the carbon particles in the exhaust.

You, and others, seem to be reasoning as follows:

Diesel exhaust causes cancer, diesel exhaust contans carbon particles therefore carbon particles cause cancer.

Association does not imply causation.

By your logic since diesel exhaust contains nitrogen then nitrogen must cause cancer.

What's the problem? It's exactly what I have done.

[harry]

There have ben three or four links from several people confirming that carbon nanopartcles from diesel exhaust causes lung cancer. So this shows your dementia is well advanced.

[Tim Streater]

But not this beeb link above. And the one I read (forget which, now) said that the particles "may" cause cancer.

[Doctor Drivel]

The rambling thoughts of a Chav.

[Doctor Drivel]

This proves you are a k*****ad. Have you framed your C&G in woodwork?

[Steve Firth]

No there haven't. There has not been a single post with proof that carbion particles cause lung cancer. There have been several repeats of the same information from various second-hand sources all repeating that diesel exhaust causes cancer. Not one showing that carbon particles cause cancer.

[Steve Firth]

And the ones that say that the particles *may* cause cancer, if they are well written, go on to explain that the particles that may cause cancer are those which are contaminated with 3-nitrobenanthrone and ather aromatic hydrocarbons, i.e. it's not the carbon particles causing the cancer.
