Sir Denis Eton-Hogg 07 Dec 17:23 u seriously think the whole climate change issue has been cooked up by governments as an excuse to raise taxes???
god help us
yep, its an easy way to get taxes.

Changing - yes clearly. Man-made and can we make a difference? - not convinced at all. Should we try? - to some extent yes. What must we do? - adapt to live with the changes such as relocate away from flood areas and adapt housing to minimise flood damage etc. Withdraw from fossil fuels and consume less.

one of the main problems is that the average joe has absolutely no concept of basic earth history. global temperatures HAVE fluctuated in the past but this is (roughly speaking) every few million years or so. for THE VAST MAJORITY of the past global temps have been very constant. the fact that they are changing so rapidly JUST AT THE SAME TIME THAT MAN IS PUMPING CO2 INTO THE AIR is a remarkable coincidence if not man-made

so all this rain and floods are only happening now then???? read the bristol channel floods of 1607. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Channel_floods,_1607
Until the government implement one of the many ideas that could reduce CO2 emmissions without costing me more money, I will ignore their pleas for help.

when its hot they say its climate warming, when it rains they say its climate change. they are changing their minds every f^cking year. look at that list of disasters and you will find that we get cold winters about every 20yrs apart. its the nature of this planet nothing else.

Sadly, many people do think that way. Cynicism seems to be a national trait these days, can be quite funny, but when its an instinctive reaction to anything people dont understand or agree with, its dangerous.

from another forum. Status of IPCC contributors. The programme asserts that it is falsely stated that "2,500 top scientists" support the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s reports on the theory of man-made global warming. In fact, according to the programme, the report includes many politicians and non-scientists, and even dissenters who demanded that their names be removed from the report but were refused. Accuracy of representation of IPCC contributors. The film argues that IPCC reports misrepresent the views of scientists who contribute to them through selective editorialising. The film highlights the case of Paul Reiter of the Pasteur Institute who complained that the IPCC did not take his professional opinion under greater consideration. It states that the IPCC kept his name on the report as a contributor and did not remove his name until he threatened legal action. Suppression of dissenting views. According to the programme, the concept of man-made global warming is promoted with a ferocity and intensity that is similar to a religious fervor. Sceptics are treated as heretics and equated with holocaust deniers. Retired university professor Tim Ball states in the film (and in subsequent press publicity) that he has received death threats because of sceptical statements he has made about global warming.

During the last 2 billion years the Earth's climate has alternated between a frigid "Ice House", like today's world, and a steaming "Hot House", like the world of the dinosaurs.
This chart shows how global climate has changed through time.
http://www.scotese.com/climate.htm
Try the above link, scroll down and look at the chart on page 1
Over the past 2billion years Earth has been very much warmer than it is today for 98% of the time - thats right - 98%- WITH AVERAGE WORLDWIDE TEMPERATURES OF 25c for great eons of time - 50% +
THATS AVERAGE !
And look at the steepness of the graphs re switches to iceage and back!- far greater change than we are seeing now.
Now- if want to manipulate climate for our own needs - thats fine and dandy - but no one should believe that the global temperature that we have enjoyed in our lifetime to date is anything other than an unusualy cool period .
Please have a look and post your thoughts - does this seem to contradict what we are being told?

If there was any truth behind the MMCC theory then Prof Jones wouldn't have needed to alter his figures. Why would he need to lie if it was a cut and dried subject. This guy has placed his entire career on the line by telling a pack of lies (in fact he's flushed it down the pan)... why would he do that? Here's a thought... maybe he did it to hide the fact that CC wasn't as cut and dried as he tried to make out.
The climate changing? Yes, it's pretty obvious. Man made climate change? Rubbish.
Some people have been watching too many re-runs of Total Recall... terra forming planets? Easy peasy, just buy a car.

There weren't 6 billion people on the planet, then ffs!
No one is disputing natural climate change occurs. But it does so over timescales of thousands of years, due to astrophysical cycles, known as the Milankovitch cycles.

There was once no atmospheric oxygen - algae and then plants changed this over a long period- so life on earth can and does make CC
But- just because the current CC may not be mainly due to mans activities does not mean that we should be diverted from clean energy projects - poluting the planet- or poisoning the seas to the extent that they become more acidic and trigger another mass extinction event is not a wise course to be on.

as for 6 billion now - and 9 billion by 2050 - its total and utter madness - but no religion or politition will stand up and give guidance on our need to halve our population of this finite world

You have to take note when while the Bush administration was suppressing research and claiming everything was fine. The Pentagon was drawing up climate change strategies. Just for fun of course.

It's true the Summers have been dire for god knows how long, the last one was absolutely the worst ever.
No Doubt the believers in it have other criteria but when we did have 10 days of very hot weather (in an otherwise feeble summer) during 2003 it was all 'This is Global Warming:It's Happening Right Now!'' , so wtf has it been since?

if you have analysed the collected data, and reached the conclusion that it currently doesn't support the hypothesis that increased CO2 and methane emissions have an effect on our climate then by all means feel free to share your views.

dont all those global warming/climate change people dress alike, they are like the sun you can tell them a mile away. either they are wearing dirty jeans and scruffy shirts. or they are wearing green check shirts and cord trousers who go out picking mushrooms. if they are really concerned about co2 emissions wot are they doing on here. they should show an example to all of us and knock off their pc/tv's and sit watching their paint dry on their walls.

tober, I'll think you'll find that is the paper headlines and not the scientists. they hate the soundbite headlines as much as you do.
If you think you can take nearly the planets entire resource of oil and gas, laid down over millions of years and burn it in a 75 year period (majority of it burned in the last 40) and think it won't have an effect then where do you think it all goes?
The ppoint of a complex dynamic ecosystem is thats its all about checks and balances it doesn't take much to send it spiraling into a new regime. As gamblers we should know this more than most.

like here- what they say and what they actually do can be 2 different things.
re spending - it is not their money is it- its taxes from the people. where do u think all the money goes- its to private businesses (who owns these? legislators and there buddies) to enourage green products etc. so taxpayer money funds pivate enterprise = said enterprise benefitting rather a lot!
aside from that, they, like here, intend to force energy prices up, pricing the masses out of the market to some degree, thus reducing consumption. they will not be reducing their consumption personally however- just ask al gore - the rule is for u not them.

i'm sure the 25 million dead, and the 35 million infected reckon they must have been talking rubbish as well. and that the 35 million infected who don't trust scientists don't touch any of the retroviral drugs available today. in case they don't work. or are poisoned.

What will happen is that the odds of getting record temperature years will increase, until any particular year becomes an evens shot.
The models predict increasing rises from now on. The evidence backs it up:
In fact, most of the recent evidence reported from around the world suggests that the effects of global warming are occurring much faster than forecast: Arctic sea ice, for example, has shrunk in summer to levels not expected until around 2050. There is remarkably little evidence pointing in the other direction: if it were there to be found, the enormous fossil-fuel interests that stand to lose from emission controls would surely finance research to uncover it.

Don, I don't agree or disagree with any particular scientists. I have been in the position to see the raw data for myself and it convinces me.
As for chimneys and the industrial revolution...
i) thats not on the scale of recent history but thats where it started
ii) all the chimneys of today are effectively collated and relocated into powerstations so the vast increase power people use is out of sight and mind - they're still there just sanitised and not in each house

re raw data someone mentioned - well you are privileged to see that since half of it was discarded in the 80s. they dont have the raw data - they are calling adusted figures raw, and provide no basis for how the adjustment is calcd.

don is a conspiracy theorist, evidence only works when it's on his side. It's impossible to argue with people who think all mainstream evidence is faked. The modern world stops if that happens.
That's why I gave up posting on this in the politics forum, it's just a saloon bar circle jerk where they all pull each other off for being Jeremy Clarkson style 'rebels'.
If anybody thinks the IPCC are all liars and fakes, or that the peer review is a con, go to this blog and you can have it out with some of the people who worked on it. GOOD LUCK, because they are fkig hacked off with it, IN SPADES.

the ipcc is bull - they edited 60% of reviewers comments. only 600 of the 2500 scientists were involved in the section dealing with causes of climate change and on future predictions. only 7 were involved in every chapter of that sections - 90%commented on just one section.
so ipcc is in short relying on a handful of opinions. and lets not forget the work it cites as backing up its assertions is written by.. ipcc authors! lol. coulnt make it up.
in usa there are 9000 phd scientists who disagree. 30000 other scientists signed on too to that arguement. in australia and new zealand there have been further leaks re data ot matching as it should. in finland they found the ipcc reversed their findings when adding it to the report.
and lets not ignore that yes west antarcitca is shrikning in terms of ice. east antarctica though, which is much bigger anyway, is GROWING.
