I take it back. Just did some research and the structures of the molecules are quite different, although similar shapes and reactivities... might mean they have the same effects on the same receptors

it contains taurine, which is very similar to speed. It's not a drug because no-one bothered to make it so. Now someone's making a profit from it so it's going to be hard to regulate it. The same is true of alcohol, which ought to be a class A drug

OSLO (AFP) - A grown moose belches out methane gas equivalent to 2,100 kilograms (4,630 pounds) of carbon dioxide a year, contributing to global warming, Norwegian researchers said Wednesday. That is more than twice the amount of CO2 emitted on a round-trip flight...

how do you feel about fairtrade coffee mikey?

Any cooling on the scale of 9 years is NOTHING to do with the billion year process of cooling within the earth. I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say we're on the right "tract". I'm supposed to ask for an explanation, although I'm dreading it.
