I saw a large self-congratulatory water company poster in the underground recently telling me my water supply was particularly clean and clear. Funny, when I turn on the tap it's cloudy and tastes like chlorine.

(I'm optimistic about carbon not being released as CO2 when it reaches the ocean; although I'm not an expert, I suspect if that's what it did we'd see much higher carbon emissions pre-industrialisation since this surely must have been what rivers were doing before.)

While you yanks may prefer your coffee black, the rest of the civilised world tends to enjoy it with milk .. italy anyone?

Given some of the ground cowchips I've seen passed off as "coffee", it's no surprise to see people loading their cups with enough cowmilk, sugar, and whatever other adulterants are available to make the swill palatable enough to chug down.

I thought the lumps in the Thames water blocked up the cracks in all the pipes? Or have conditions improved since then?

Black, bitter, how coffee should be. If you want a sweet drink, try pure fruit juice. If you want a milky drink, suck on a cow's udder.

Dog's milk, lasts longer than any other kind...

Welsh (although don't live there now), and their water is great!

So, instead of tackling 'Global Warming' does this report suggest we should look to tackle the smaller, individual things that affect the world we live in? Hell, we may finally stand a chance of getting there.
