POPSMars and Twix et al to contain Animal Products At least theres lots of lovely chocolate that isnt made using cows stomach lining (or other dead animal parts for that matter), still a shame that masterfoods have decided to commit moral and potentially financial suicide. At least they decided to tell us - a 'principled decision' apparently, unlike the one made to exclude vegetarians from their customer base...?

POPSTop EU Court Breaks GM Crop Secrecy Monsanto cannot expect Europe to turn a blind eye to the way it has behaved elsewhere in the world. The fact that the EU commission has been fighting monsantos corner shows how right the Irish are to refuse the Lisbon Treaty..

POPSOVER POPULATION. Can We Continue to Ignore It? It is the achilles heel of democracy~ no one is likely to vote for a politician that might tell you how many children you can have, but if there are no leaders to tackle the problem then would we rather rely on natural causes to regulate the human population? Like so many things, the longer it is ignored the harder its going to be to deal with. I believe the problems of resource abuse and population could both be addressed by a willingness to realise when we have enough~ enough clothes, or enough cars, enough houses, or enough children. And then stop acquiring more.Some believe that if contraception was available to every woman, that alone would prevent the population from increasing, as the indigenous populations of developed countries are often found to be in decline. But that still requires the ability to say 'Enough' ~ is enough....

POPSHEDGE FUNDS are PYRAMID SCHEME - OFFICIAl The writing has been on the wall for a while but there is no denying it now.. the trouble is its not just hedge funds but any economy that relies on indefinite growth that is effectively a pyramid scheme, with an expanding population and natural resources filling in the bottom level~ until the natural resources run out... coming to a world near you SOON...............

POPSWave Powered Boat to cross Pacific!!! when a big ship is raised a few feet by the ocean swell, think how much energy it takes to lift several thousand tonnes.. Now think of that same ship alongside a quay, and a lever extracting that same energy as it lowers the ship back down before the next swell.. Cmon you engineers!

POPSThe Sun IS Slowing Down.... Quick- light a fire, go for a drive, do something- anything- just make some more CO2 before we all freeze to death.. Wish I was joking, but the lack of sunspots too makes me think we could soon be very grateful for our atmospheric blanket! Mind you, we only have to ground the airplanes for one day a week to reduce global dimming and presto!- global warming at the stroke of a pen....
