Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2007 9:51 pmProbably one of the most contrived sports I have seen, top fuel drag racing has to be high on the list of top environmentally polluting sports too - from both a greenhouse gas and NOISE point of view!!
This is a 5.8Litre, supercharged V8 top fuel dragster running on nitromethane, and it produces a gargantuan 7500 Horsepower. This particular car did a 1/4mile in 5.128 seconds and probably burned 50-75 litres of fuel in the process. That's alot of carbon dioxide sent into the atmosphere to cover such a short distance (certainly more CO2 than my car would produce, I use 45 litres of diesel in my car to cover about 500 miles!!!)

Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 10:28 pmOK, previous my 2 images were of a man burning rubbish infront of the 8000m Mitre Peak, and the haze of a 7500 horsepower dragster polluting the air...and now I bring you the battered wreckage of a Russian helicopter at Everest Base Camp (on the Nepalese side of Everest)!
It crashed there in 2003 during the 50th anniversary of Sherpa Tenzing and Sir Edmund Hillary's successful bid to reach the summit.
I trekked here in Oct 2004 and what was left of the helicopter was this...
