Quote: | More than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition denying that man is responsible for global warming.
The academics, including 9,000 with PhDs, claim that greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane are actually beneficial for the environment.
|
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?! ____________________ >Soultrader Mister James, I bet you are a copper

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.... ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die.

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

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

I think a positive thing about this is the growing concern about saving energy and all that, good stuff IMO
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.
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. ____________________ Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

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... |

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

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.

More that we are just now living long enough to get round to dying of cancer.
