They proved how out of touch they are with reality when in a time when the rest of us are struggling in austerity they slip away for a 7 day "jolly" in a five star hotel in Dubai and then more of them when our roads need repairing and they are cutting back on essential services such as care for the elderly are quite happy to waste Millions on buying RAF Coltishall when the private sector would have bought the site at NO COST to the taxpayer. There must be a hidden agenda to produce this utter madness.Norfolkmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973149502277234867.post-7251877159188596372012-11-25T18:42:39.029+00:002012-11-25T18:42:39.029+00:00There are many of us who agree with the West Norfo...There are many of us who agree with the West Norfolk comment.<br />We must stop burying our heads in the sand and making our future challenges even greater than they are now.

Smith of Salhouse in the EDP of the 19th November, centred around the closure of the Green Man at Rackheath but moving out into the state of the economy, the environment, and the abundance of existing brownfield sites already given planning permission.<br /><br />D. Smith may think he or she is "extreme", but what does that make me?! I am getting really worried now, not just about climate change and habitat loss, but about the state of the Ozone layer. When CFCs were phased out, it was thought the damage to the Ozone would repair itself - but this is not happening because a new Ozone depleter has emerged, Nitrous Oxide. This is emitted in increasing amounts worldwide due to intensive agriculture in places like Brazil; it is also emitted by catalytic converters which of course are much more common now that they were in the 1970s. <br /><br />Thinning Ozone disrupts the immune system of animals and plants - including trees - and reduces their ability to resist infection by viruses, fungi, and bacteria. It also sometimes sends the immune system into overdrive, causing it to attack itself as in many autoimmune diseases like asthma, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, etc. No doubt plants and trees can develop autoimmune diseases too.<br /><br />I think we have reached a tipping point where any more Development is not only not Sustainable, but actively toxic.Anonymous West Norfolknoreply@blogger.com
