The sun is not...
Quote: | The overwhelming consensus among scientists is that human activity is to blame for the rise in global temperatures. |
Yeah?
Quote: | Since 1900, the mean global atmospheric temperature has risen by 0.8 C (1.44 F), and the sea level by 10-20 centimetres (four to eight inches). |
So a rock concert will help us undo all that in the next.... 107 years?
Quote: | Levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas, have risen by around a third since the Industrial Revolution and are now at their highest in 650,000 years. Eleven of the past 12 years rank among the dozen warmest years on record. |
Ah, so NOT since 1900. Since about 1750 it is now. Oh dear, now we have to go to rock concerts for 257 years to undo the human contribution to global warming.
So how come with this 'overwhelming consensus among scientists' that we can't stick to one good set of scientific figures to conivnce me ?
When I were a lad we all had't coal fires and 'twere freezin in the winter and that was 200 years since the start of the Industrial revolution .......
Now then 650,000 years ago there were less than 10 million humans on the planet, so why was the globe so warm then? Ah it was all them nasty dinosaurs, they smoked like flippin' chimneys they did, all got lung cancer, that's wot killed them all off so sudden |

If the sun isn't to blame, can we pin it on the daily Wail?

The next mini-ice age is overdue, so we might be glad we emitted all that carbon soon.
The climate has always changed. In the past it didnt matter too much as there werent 6 billion humans roaming the Earth so we could up sticks and move on if one area became too hot or too cold. Its not so easy now. the real question is whether the present global population is sustainable in the long term? _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Does anyone ever listen to James Whale on Talksport?
He's always going on about the great (human caused) global warming con. He says, and has had scientists on supporting him, that global warming is an entirely natural phenomenon which happens in cycles.
I have to say I totally agree with him, but the green business is such a money spinning business that any dissenting voices are largely supressed.
When did you last hear anyone on the BBC expressing a different opinion to the Al Gore led hysteria? |
