global warming my h*le

Recent research ,reveals that every post made on the internet contributes to global warming. Scientists have particularly warned of those who have high post counts and those averaging 5 posts per day.

would it ever stop raining. please. someone make it stop raining.

Years ago, in the dark ages before I had an internet connection, I saw a documentary about how we are long overdue an ice age. If, according to the scientists, the Earth was to follow it's natural cycle, then we should be freezing our nuts off by now. Remembering this, I did a google and sure enough...........

http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1P2-14754670.html

YOU might not have noticed, but planet Earth is 3 million years into the current ice age. Global warming aside, ice ages have been arriving with some regularity roughly every 100,000 years. The last one crested just 20,000 years ago.
We're in an interglacial period, when glaciers recede and wheat grows again in North Dakota and Manitoba.

A much more detailed explanation is in this article....

http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1P2-14754670.html

Disconcerting as it may be to true believers in global warming, the average temperature on Earth has remained steady or slowly declined during the past decade, despite the continued increase in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, and now the global temperature is falling precipitously.

All four agencies that track Earth's temperature (the Hadley Climate Research Unit in Britain, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, the Christy group at the University of Alabama, and Remote Sensing Systems Inc in California) report that it cooled by about 0.7C in 2007. This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record and it puts us back where we were in 1930. If the temperature does not soon recover, we will have to conclude that global warming is over.

There is also plenty of anecdotal evidence that 2007 was exceptionally cold. It snowed in Baghdad for the first time in centuries, the winter in China was simply terrible and the extent of Antarctic sea ice in the austral winter was the greatest on record since James Cook discovered the place in 1770.[/qoute]

I cannot believe people are falling for this crock of sh*t, if it was warm they'd tell us it was because of GW - is raining we're told its coz of GW.

crock of sh*t I tell you, crock of sh*t

I also concur. Global warming is the basis for very profitable business models these days! Oh, and it also keeps Africa poor.

Well its as helpful as a hell of a lot of the rubbish posted in this thread, here is a link its the second time I've posted it today but a lot of people here could do with reading it.

Science be praised!

i remember my summer holidays from school in the 80s and 90s and everyday was always sunny or at least dry

El_Dangeroso · 06-07-2008 02:20PM

We ALL know science is never ever wrong and scientists are always right.

Even when they were proposing the global cooling theories in the 1970's, they were still right!

Read 'Mistakes were made (but not by me)'. It gives a great insight into how people, including scientists, deal with the cognitive dissonance resulting in their beliefs being controverted by hard, real world evidence.

Also, the realm of science is driven by money and unfortunately this forces scientists to concur with the majority in order to secure their careers. This happens in the realm of food science, quantum physics and climate to mention a few.

So the 5% of scientists who disagree get dismissed as right-wing nuts in the pay of big oil.

Great to see some people out there who are aware of these things and don't choose to buy everything they are sold.

ahh a link to New scientist magazine, who are owned by Reed Business Information ltd, who supply marketing information and research to large North American companies including oil, aeronotics, motor, reycycling, and have published books by AL Gore. Read into that:pac:

There's allot of money to be made with fighting wars, wars on terror, wars on CO2 etc etc, Your allowing yourself to be taken for a ride Gerky, and I don't mind that, but please say something useful or go away.

The most sinister aspect of the "global warming" debate for me is the move by farmers worldwide to replace their edible crops with bio fuel crops.This is a key factor in the astonishing rise in food prices we have seen in the last two years.Millions who previously had enough to eat now face hunger and in some cases,starvation.

To hell with the science....where is the morality?

Global warming equals more unpredictable weather and so on.

El_Dangeroso · 06-07-2008 08:52PM

Unpredictable weather?? Yes, because you could have timed your watch by Irish weather before the global warming boogeyman came and made it unpredictable. Please.

El_Dangeroso · 06-07-2008 09:11PM

So you mean more changable?

I think the weather hasn't been too changeable lately. Mostly rain interspersed with short periods of sunshine. If it was 13 degrees one day and 35 the next, I might agree with you. But as it stands, you'll have to produce some data to back up what you're saying.

Irish people have very short memories when it comes to weather, we only remember the sunny, hot summers. But as far as I can tell, the only non-rainy summers we had in recent memory were in 1998 and 2003. It's the same ol' same ol' I'm afraid..

Tar.Aldarion · 06-07-2008 09:15PM

I'm not saying whether I think global warming is true or not (well obviously it's true, it's just whether humans have a significant impact) I am just saying that it would mean more unpredictable weather so what the OP said is totally besides the point of whether it is true or not. He and many seems to equate global warming to better weather.

El_Dangeroso · 06-07-2008 09:19PM

But the OP wasn't saying the weather was changeable, he said it was cold and raining (which it is), and that man-made global warming is a bunch of sh*te (which it is).

Tar.Aldarion · 06-07-2008 09:24PM

What. He said it is cold and raining therefore global warming is not true, that is not logical.
It may or not be true, that is not a reason either way.

Also, man affecting the heat of this planet is not a 'bunch of sh*te', it is a question of whether there is an impact or not because of this.

06-07-2008 09:29PM

Yes mankind is making changes to the environment; but, nature is making much larger changes, just at the moment they both appear to be complementing each other rather than opposing.

El_Dangeroso · 06-07-2008 09:36PM

OK then, disect-the-post-for-the-one-person-who-doesn't-get-it time.

I believe, now don't quote me on this I don't have three years of clinical trials to back me up, that the OP was being facetious. But I can't be of course sure unless there is a big flashing 'I am taking the p*ss' sign beside the post.

Sure, if he submitted the post as a dissertation for a masters in climate science, you'd be perfectly in your rights to question the assertion.

Global warming is not man-made. I will gratefully accept non-biased scientific research to the contrary, but so far, I haven't seen any.

Tar.Aldarion · 06-07-2008 09:38PM

Thanks for telling me what he meant, you are wrong.
You assume that he is being facetious for no reason.

El_Dangeroso · 06-07-2008 09:41PM

Wow, I'm magically convinced of your opinion! Without offering any tangible argument, that's amazing! You should be involved in Middle East peace talks!

Tar.Aldarion · 06-07-2008 09:43PM

Sorry that I can't read minds like you. Proof for facetious behaviour, thanks.

El_Dangeroso · 06-07-2008 09:47PM

I can read minds?? Suweet..

For somebody who claims that their not in to conspiracies, I have to say that post is bordering on casey territory.

So newscientist which has been published since 1956 and is highly respected worldwide is involved in a secret operation with several other company's involving climate change.

Out of curiosity are all mainstream science magazines/journals involved in this or just the ones that don't agree with your view.
