Global Warming

[TCIB]

So whats the bluemoon scientific debate's concensus ? are we all doomed in the next 50 years or what ?

A resounding and echoing NO and neither will our children or grandchildren.

People who live in flood plains will get flooded.
People who live in earthquake regions will get earthquakes.
Other people will get tsunamis as a result.
People who go on holiday to somewhere near the equator will get hot holidays.
People who buy houses for the best of intentions and do them up might struggle to sell.
etc etc etc

This ^^

This is what is real to me i'm afraid ladies and gent's.

Of course i want a good future for our earth but fuck man, roll a j and chill out chaps :)

all the evidence i need.

Listen i'm an atheist and organic chemical engineer aka an atheist who will smash you to death with data, logic and epistimological clarity and will prize you out of any allegorical positioning.

That said i subscribe to your sources of methodology and reasoning, aka a man who likes futurama is a friend of mine.

You may be intersted to know season 7 episodes 1 and 2 have just been released :)

Jesus scored for Spain so you might face some uncomfortable questions before St Peter lets you in :-p

(It;s an eter-nity with the red devils if he doesn't)

Somebody from Hadley has just read this thread and sent me a message. One of his comments was:

"After reading their bunkum I'm thinking of McDonalds [lb] I'm obviously wasting my time. I would facepalm but I would do it so hard that I'd crack my skull"

He's a qualified climate scientist with a couple of published papers. He also told me off for using global warming in a post a few things back as he said that it was more reflected as climate change.

It's OK, I corrected that in my first post.

How accurate Damo, can temperature fluctuations be recorded past a few hundred thousand years? Is it to the nearest 100 years, 500, 1000? The point I am getting to is this, at present we monitor and record global temperatures incredibly accurately for each year and so see trends. Who is to say this rate of warming hasn't been seen many times before on the Earth.

Look lets say we get 1.5% warming the last hundred years, another 1% the next, 2% drop the hunddred after. If you take the 300 years as a whole, it would look like a 0.5% increase over a 300 year period. If historical temperatures for hundreds of thousands of years ago can only round to the nearest few hundred years, then surely it's possible that we are looking too closely at a small data set and worrying about nothing?

That's what i was trying to ascertain a long way back. 'Global warming' is a bit of a catch-all term and also gives the 'deniers' a get out along the lines of, "Well it's not getting any warmer round here."

Yes we're polluting the atmosphere with greenhouse gases.
Sea levels are rising
Ice caps are melting quicker
Population growth and the consumer society will do for us all in the end.

Here is a list of some the UK's most prominent climate changedeniers and some of their other beliefs.

Lord Monckton, whose lecture asserting that manmade climate change is nonsense also maintains that he has invented a cure for HIV, multiple sclerosis, influenza and other incurable diseases.

Nils-Axel Morner, whose claims that sea levels are falling are widely cited in the Telegraph and elsewhere, also insists that he possesses paranormal abilities to find water and metal using a dowsing rod, and that he has discovered “the Hong Kong of the [ancient] Greeks” in Sweden.

Peter Taylor, the Daily Express’s favourite climate change denier, has claimed that a Masonic conspiracy has sent a “kook, a ninja freak, some throwback from past lives” to kill him, and insisted that plutonium may “possess healing powers, borne of Plutonic dimension, a preparation for rebirth, an awakener to higher consciousness”.

Christopher Booker, Daily Telegraph climate change denier, claims that asbestos is harmless.

Now that IS argumentum ad hominem.

Dont even get me started about Sarah Palin!

I understand your argument but when these people are put forward to deny climate change then you can see they are on shaky ground.

They dont even warrant the public attention they get.
