List of Ping lists

"Care must be taken not to invest money in upgrading those homes that will ultimately be demolished," say the authors.

These people are nuts!

[SamAdams76]

Didn't the Luftwaffe demolish a bunch of homes over there just 60 years ago?

[Paladin2]

They could start with #10 Downing Street.

[Paul Atreides]

Good grief!

[Flavius]

well maybe they could fire up some of those old stukas maybe some old nazi pilots would help them out

this is insane

[marty60]

First the homes next the people. It's getting closer and closer.

[SittinYonder]

I think Americans should watch the British government closely - this is where we're headed if we don't fight back the trend toward socialism here. For the two, or one, small government conservatives left in England, all I can say is if you want to come to the last beach, cross through Mexico ... nobody's looking.

[ASA Vet]

researchers at Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute and Heriot Watt University

would it be safe to assume it's not their own homes they want destroyed?

[Redcloak]

Launching 3.2 million environmentalists into space would do much more to reduce global warming.

And no, I'm not thinking about using smokey ol' rockets to do it. We could build a gigantic, environmentally friendly trebuchet instead!

[doug from upland]

Let's start here.

With this.

[Cool Multiservice Soldier]

Britian's gov't has gone WAY over the edge.

[SandRat]

Ok. I vote that all the homes to be demolished belong to the EnviroNutzies.

[finnman69]

I'm sure Al Qaeda would love to contribute some urban renewal expertise

[CommandoFrank]

Hey, great idea...

Might I suggest the big 'blue' cities, i.e. San Fran, NYC, LA, Seattle, Portland, etc.

[Supernatural]

Let them start with the homes of government officials and royalty.

[expatpat]

The carbon from the fossil fuels burnt to build our existing housing stock was already in the atmosphere, warming the Earth. "So why repeat the process?" asked Mr Terry.

Good point -- it's amazing how often these kinds of studies ignore the energy input needed to achieve their aims: energy to produce hydrogen; energy to plant, fertilize, and harvest the crops to produce ethanol, etc.,etc.

[shellshocked]

"Households account for around 30 per cent"

ye, it is the homes that are the users, not the people. Oh, wait, next, birth controls, abortions, and Chinese style forced hysterectomies!

[Publius6961]

Why do I have the definite feeling that if we start with the demoltion of the homes owned by every controlling little despot doing research at Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute and Heriot Watt University, the problem will have a tendency simply to disappear?

[SoCal_Republican]

And just who gets to pick who loses their house? I'm guessing none of the members of Paliament have their house on the list. Maybe they should consider old dilapidated buildings like the tower of London, Westminster Palace, Paliament - those places are enormously inefficient. Knock 'em down and replace them with low income flats!
