Don't recall this being widely reported in the mainstream media - it frustrates me that there is absolutely no recognition paid by the government (also read into that the BBC, Guardian, Channel 4, etc) that there are many people (such as me) who just do not believe that all this shit about carbon emissions is anything BUT shit!

I'm all for fighting pollution, and I fail to see why more fuss isn't made about the known and proven lethal effects of exhaust/industrial emissions, rather than the current trend to whine about something that is pure fantasy?!

The Grand canyon was caused by Global warming with not a car, fridge, tv, 4x4 or lightbulb in sight. We are making the planet untidy and we are causing other species to suffer so I can see the cause for keep it tidy. But there should be an alternative that is better than what we have now before we tax what we do now.
There again with the Government giving lip service to anti smoking and drinking they have to have another tax in place to cover the lost revenue they project loosing so it might as well be the green tax.

You probably don't remember this because it's over a year old (The Tele's really going down hill) the actual document was in 98. and the Oregon Petition is a very dodgy document indeed...

So far downhill that both the above facts - and many of those mentioned in the wikipedia article - are mentioned by the Telegraph?

No more dodgy than anything that's been cooked up on the other side of the debate - and crucially, a few fake signatures on a document that isn't used as a justification to increase my taxes are irrelevant!

have you seen the news today? ,

people who don't believe in global warming are paedophiles according to a Bishop , they are like Joseph Fritzel...

the only programme to give debate on the other side was the great climate change swindle,

which was then ridiculed for being funded by big oil , I hate environmentallists myself a motorbike rider uses a helluva lot less than some 'environmentalists' like this nutty woman who goes flying long haul 6 times a year but makes up for it by cycling to work who lives nearby, sorry dear but I can ride my bike for 40 years for your flights and sigh....

Afraid you are getting confused. This petition with the ~31k signiatures was released a couple of weeks ago:-

https://npc.press.org/calendar/calendarday.cfm?whatday=19&&whatyear=2008&&whatmonth=5

Is it any more dubious that claiming that thousands of scientists agree in the IPCC documents on global warming, when only a small fraction of those work on the relevant chapters?

Be interesting to see whether it's a different document because it reads exactly the same as the last one quoting exactly the same figures. There are multiple issues with The Oregon Document other than many of the supposed signatures have no recollection of signing it and Seitz the major driving force behind it has been proven to be a mouth piece for hire since his involvement with the tobacco companies...

What the Oregon sets out to prove is pointless as consensus doesn't mean everyone...

Fair amount of cleaning up was done on the original sigs to attempt to remove the dodgy ones (after all, originally it would be quite easy for, say, Al Gore to sign it using some pseudonym and then use that fake signiature to try and undermine it), and this petition now has massively more signiatures than when it was last publicised (OK, it has pretty much been ignored in the UK now again).

stigger wrote:

Very true, but when a very large number disagree it shows that there is no concensus.

Talking it up to claim concensus and claim the science is settled is an deliberate tactic on behalf of the global warming industry to try and cut down on opposition.

All the best

There's plenty of actual science against Global Warming, not enough to disprove it in my opinion but the Oregon Institute is nowhere near a poster child for impartial evidence. The only have 6 on faculty 2 of whom are dead 3 if you include Frederick Seitz who wrote a letter that gave the petition some validity, they have no students and the main income is a home schooling pack for parents to counter socialism in schools and a CD on how to survive a Nuclear Attack. It's good to remain sceptical but the main problem with the anti global warming side is once you scratch the surface you normally come upon US libertarian loons...

Hi

I agree that there is not enough evidence to disprove man made global warming.

Nobody here is claiming that the Oregon Institute are totally impartial, just that they have a petition signed by enough people to undermine any scientific cencensus on global warming theory, yet in the UK it has been almost totally ignored by the press.

As to those US liberatian loons, are they are worse than the far left control freaks who are now hiding under the wings of global warming?

All the best

Keith

I feel that there are enough problems with the Oregon Institute and the way the petition was conducted to discount it entirely. I'll stick with actual scientists without a point to prove.

Although I have real problems with the ban the bomb lefties that have attached themselves to the cause, the libertarians are far more dangerous in my eyes.

Afraid I do not agree. While it has major faults it cannot be discounted that easily. Certainly not in favour of an appointed body of which a small number are involved in whether human causes are the factor (rather than how to counter such factors if they exist).

For example, from this site:-

Quote:
Who are the experts who wrote and reviewed the body of the latest IPCC report? They are listed in appendices of IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report. There were 380 contributors. An investigation of the 51 located in the United Kingdom shows 5 economists, 3 epidemiologists, 5 who were either zoologists, entomologists, or biologists, 5 working in civil engineering or risk management/insurance, 7 with specialisms in geography, and just 10 with specialisms in geophysics, climate science or modeling, or hydrology. And there are 15 social scientists. These are climate experts?


So out of 51 Uk contributers only 10 are working in climate science areas.

Afraid again I do not agree. While there are nutters in every area, it is those who show tendencies to want to control others that I think are the most dangeous.

All the best

A classic example of the kind of blinkered fundamentalism that concerns me about the 'Green' movement.

And the Antarctic ice shelf is actually growing again.
Discounting that the sun has an influence on our planets temperature is total bull IMO. Look up the Maunder Minimum and the last couple of years at what the maximum has coincided with.
Cycle 24 should have started by now but hasn't. If the sun remains quiet temperatures could well drop. Everyone will then call it "Climate change".
Oh they already do.

What's blinkered about it as I said there is plenty of proper information out there against global warming without getting involved with that mob they misrepresented themselves as the NSA, they aren't an actual bona fide institution of anything, and the actual list of names doesn't stand up to any sort of scrutiny...

Whose part of the "Green Movement"? I just see that the evidence points to global warming being true, there is evidence pointing to other factors which actually is being investigated despite what the anti GW conspiracy groups want you to think. It seems the major push against GW is the US libertarians whose major problem with it seems to be Al Gore...

I think a positive thing about this is the growing concern about saving energy and all that, good stuff IMO Thumbs Up

As for this, “the planets dying” bullshi* im not so sure. I mean, I look around me, it’s 2008 and people still believe in the fuc*ing bible, the events that happened in it, miracles and so forth.
The western world especially seem to be pointing the finger at the average Joe (the population en mass), save this, do that, keep this, re-use that. When all this time people not like you and me are flying around the globe eating fast food, driving monster trucks, racing power boats and using electricity like it’s generated by water….

So some water rises in places, some strong winds happen and then a few programs and reports are made about plastic bags and polystyrene to shi* you up a bit. It’s worked on the massive scale it seems….its a chain reaction, an issue that’s snowballing.
They’ve actually started using weather events to confirm global warming and I think because it’s actually visible its holds more weight to an argument like this than just saying old school shi* like, the planets temperature has risen by 2 degrees. Because no one cares.

When they show you those glaciers breaking off and falling into the sea what do you think? Now I’m no scientist but I’m sure this has been happening long before we even cared what was going on there we even had our dates wrong about when the ice formed in the antartic by about….oh 4000 years. Rolling Eyes
They believe that in a few thousand years (or in about 50 depending on what news you watch) London for example will be like Venice. Well, one things for sure, I don’t give a fu** so what’s the point here? Land, comes and goes, people, come and go. If you want to stay in London and swim to work in 2050 then so be it.
At one point Dinosaurs dominated the earth, now, they didn’t do much apart from eat, shi* and sleep but this mattered not because a huge rock from outer space put a stop to this pretty sharpish.….unavoidable to them because they had no way of knowing of, or stopping it. Surely this is the same on our part, I mean aliens might decide our planet sucks and fry us with a huge laser beam or something. Highly unlikely but I think it’s pretty unlikely that we can halt the planet changing how it wants to work. There’s no shortage of people keeping species alive replanting tree’s,, altering the natural selections, we’re saving more than we need….yeah Gorillas are cool to look at but I wouldn’t go near one, we don’t need them.
Anyways, I’m going off topic a bit. The bottom line is, the people that hold most of the power to save the planet aren’t doing a great deal, so why should you? I mean to me it feels like our leaders are currently capping brown people for more energy resources leading us all into something we didn’t really want…..they are shifting the blame to the little people, it’s us, you’re the ones using the plastic bags, you’re the ones only taking 5 people in your 1.3 Escort to work.

Sorry mate it may be just one group, but they are the most vocal every time there's a big fuss made it's always attached to one of those groups. and as to the bishop anyone who believes in a mythical being cannot be taken seriously in my book...

Hi

The are far from the largest group. Plenty of groups do not agree with the current GW theories / scares. In the UK over the last decade it seems to have gone from pretty much total acceptance of the theory to wide spread scepticism.

All the best

Killa you picked up on a really good point about tree planting.
Later this year I will be planting my six oaks that I have. I wonder how much that offsets my carbon footprint and if I will get a reduction when the government introduces carbon rationing.

I feel physically sick after hearing the new socially acceptable 'buzzwords' like sustainability, carbon offsetting, man-made climate change et al. Sick Yuk, yuk, yuk.

It's yet another swindle, yet another worrying boogyman to get you running scared and to fall straight into the laps of those who set the rules. They demand we jump, we say "How high?"

They claimed for decades the planet was approaching an ice age. People worried, accepted that 'something must be done'. Next they claimed the planet was melting. People worried, accepted that 'something must be done'.

Well slap my ass and call me a sailor if that something isn't a new and improved super scheme (actually devised in the 40's - Club of Rome) where they will tax us to extinction, meanwhile fostering anti-human depopulation methods and scare stories. Bad weather recently? That'll be your carbon footprint you scumbag! Cat died? Not sustainable enough! Jeez, enough already!

Carbon dioxide, along with water, solar radiation and oxygen, are the building blocks of life. During the Hiberius Maxim (around 8000 years ago?) Co2 levels were around 14 times higher, which made the planet like a giant allotment with vegetation everywhere.

These enviro-MENTALists always spout on about CO2 as if it's a devil gas of which it is not. A large volcano like St Helens puts out more CO2 in one eruption than about 50 years worth of humans!

It's a ruse, a trick, a distraction from the real environmental issues that actually affect us. You know; the real issues like GM foodstuffs, chimera species, Hadon super-colliders, toxic chemicals in our drinking water, biological weapons use and 'outbreaks', viruses in vaccines....

All of this nonsense spouted about how the planet is dying when it is us that is getting cancer at record levels, us that is being injected, fed and watered absolute garbage full of the deadliest man-made pathogens.

So go plant a tree you fucking loons. See what good it'll do us.

Thumbs Down

You don't even know what a Hadon collider is, nor the damage it could create within this solar system, do you?

Nor the real damage the GM strains (terminator seeds etc) are doing to the ecology, do you?

What about the HPV (human pathaloma virus) injections they want all girls to take? Know about the auto-immune effects?

A lot longer than that ago that CO2 levels were that high. 8000 years is the blink of an eye as far as the planet goes.

It is often claimed but not true. Max measured amount from Mt St Helens was 2.2X10^7 kg per day, so even if it managed that for a year that is 8,030,000,000kg. To put that in perspective current average UK car CO2 is meant to be 160g/km (for anyone that cares) and there are about 350b car km done in the UK each year, so that is 56,000,000,000kg. So over a year even on VERY rough figures UK cars (not including buses, bikes, trains, etc) emit about 7 times as much as Mt St Helens managed in the worst possible scenario.

Whether it is in the slightest bit relevant is another question.
