    Well in that case I'll be sure to take your word over people who have actually studied it professionally. I mean - you're posting on an internet forum and providing valid links to back up all your 'facts'. How could an actual scientist compete with the mighty power of an internet amateur hobbyist like yourself?
    One of the cornerstones of the whole climate change movement - the idea that temperatures have been increasing for the last 30 years - was completely collapsed by an amateur hobbyist.

    One big problem that science always struggles with is in the grey areas such as climate change, scientists can be so eager to find evidence which supports their claim, that they forget to look for alternative theories which explain their evidence or explain any "changes".
    This has been especially true where Governments have poured billions of euro into research into "why" our climate is changing, despite the fact that is has yet to be proven that our climate is changing in any historically significant way.

    Globally, people are living longer, healthier, happier lives than they have ever done in the history of our species.

    It's in the media's interests to tell us that we're all in imminent danger of death and chaos, when nothing could be further from the truth.

    maybe. but in general it's difficult to say this with certainty, as we obviously don't know when the current generations are going to kick the bucket. but i've seen it suggested in more than one place that the current crop of toddlers may be the first to lead shorter lives than their parents generation.


    secondly, on the 'happier' bit, i thought the evidence pointed to lesser developed countries actually being happier.

    Wow. Thank god for PROFESSIONAL SCIENTISTS. Never gotten anything wrong have they? Or accepted lies and touted them on harming others. Or participated in studies where funding is shady. Or skewed metrics to get the desired results.
    Science be praised!!!!

    Exactly.

    Please don't bother correcting the spelling/typos in my future posts. You're not my editor.

    Listen pal, it's time to suck it up and admit the good doctor outfoxed and outsmarted you. You engaged in a battle with bollocko and came out 2nd best. No shame in that but what there is shame in is your refusal to admit defeat.

    You're like a bold dog who shits out his dinner on the carpet in front of his owner and then denies it was him. Which is apt seeing as your username is an anagram of Excrete Rectal Pet Mix.

    Now apologise to the doctor and be on your way. Shoo.

    Yes it was. Ofcom ruled that the “documentary” breached rules on impartiality and fairness:

    You also wont hear that Artic ice is well advanced on last year.
    You obviously haven’t looked very hard:
    http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/02/15/arctic-ice.html

    However, there is little cause for optimism. Much of the “expanded” ice is very thin, “young” ice, which may well melt again this summer:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Arctic_Sea_Ice_Age2008.png

    To suggest that the trend of arctic ice melting is reversing is utter nonsense.

    How did I come out second best? I made a typo, he pointed it out in an unfunny way and incorrect way. I corrected him. He thought I didn't notice and claimed victory. I then claimed victory as its a well known fact that people who point out typos automatically lose and are known as losers.
    Its also a well known fact that very few people enjoy your forced attempts at humour.
    No need to get tetchy. You did ask me to.
    And I showed you how you were wrong.

    Yeah, we had great craic in the 80's didn't we? That was fun and games.

    I love how this crap gets bent to whatever bull the media are trying to push. Before it was, "Ah shure, when we were all on the breadline and one salary paying a mortgage and eating the same thing five times a week, wasn't life simpler and great craic all the same".

    Now that we're heading for a "recession", all we hear is "Oh no, we're all going to go back to the time when we were all on the breadline and one salary struggling to pay a mortgage and eating the same thing five times a week!".

    All these "happiness index"'s and the like are a big pile of bull****. It is impossible to rate "happiness", because happiness is relative. You can ask someone who lives in a mud hut and ****s in the ground whether or not he's happy and he'll probably say "yes". That's because he's never known anything else.

    Seems an apt review of your input so far mr. Expert.

    Oh dear lord. I can't watch this go on any more. It's painful.

    You spelled the word 'environmentalist' wrong! Your attempt at humour only works when you spell the word wrong though... I really don't think you can claim any sort of victory.

    You didn't make a typo. Why would you ask people to take away "enviro" if you didn't think the spelling was enviromentalist?
