He is an arse, obviously. But so are you, for making such a ludicrous
statement.

Its only ludicrous if you believe what the nanny state has been force
feeding us on the subject. Global Warming is a cyclical event in our
planets history, its happened before (many times) and it'll happen
again. Where's the proof its direct attributed to modern lifestyle and
'carbon emission'?

I don't and I'm not an arse either

Do you dispute that half_wit deliberately intended to generate this
argument that you've so enthusiastically joined?

It's hard to know what his intentions are. He's clearly mentally ill. But to
avoid joining the argument (unenthusiastically, I might add) would mean to
allow bogus claims about global warming (from people other than half_wit) to
go unchallenged. I'm not sure I have enough self-restraint.

Do you dispute that many people have posted to say that they find
these crossposted arguments to be swamping and damaging to the group?

For some values of 'many'. It seems to be mostly you... Aren't you just
prolonging the misery?

And in so doing you've got drawn into posting repetitive arguments that look
worthy of the troll himself.

That obviously reflects the repetitive nature of the arguments being
refuted.

Hey, better make all those widescreen plasma TVs 4:3 and save the
planet, eh?

Newspapers of course have always been taller than wide, the columns always
tall because our eyes cannot track as well side ways as they can up and
down, this is because
our field of binocular vision is taller than it is wide. Thats why you
lose which line you are on read a reall wide post. Obviously it's easy
with only two lines.

Have you got one eye mounted above the other? ..-)

Take out the "mounted above the other" and you're on the right track.

About time they were, like smoking ,banned.


While this is nothing whatsoever to do with widescreen (of course,
that is just your hobby-horse), it is rather surprising that LCD and
plasma screen TV sets *do* use more power than the equivalent CRT.

I couldn't find the specifications of many, but looking on the Philips
website, they have the full spec including power consumption of all
their TVs.

And the CRT 32PW9570/05 uses 109W in normal usage, while the same
sized LCD 32PF9641D/10 uses 128W (it does use less in standby).

There isn't an equivalent sized plasma in their range, but the 42"
42PF5521D/10 uses 230W.

When I'd looked there wasn't much in it , inch for inch.
Some flat panels were about 10% more efficient that a same sized CRT while
others seemed about 10% worse.

Certainly not a vast difference either way though plenty of people going
from a 28" or smaller CRT to a 42" flat panel *is* a noticable increase

The LCD will have a larger screen size, of course...

Err, it will?
32" is 32".

There isn't an equivalent sized plasma in their range, but the 42"
42PF5521D/10 uses 230W.

The power consumption of a plasma set will vary depending on the image
content, whereas for most LCD sets it will remain constant. Newer LCD
designs incorporating locally dimmable LED array backlighting should change
this.
