lol, I knew you were going to go onto wiki, I just didn't know that you would quote them as well:D

It would be one long sentence which I don't care enough to write. If you really want to know then do the research.

Give us the "short sentence" version...

How did the peer review go?

R&R without wiki hopefully...

I went on wiki first, but then found the BBC but i cannot find with the search in google "El nino/ nina cause" any other sources . I have at least tried to prove my point , your "it would be a really long sentence" seems a bit flimsy if you don't mind me saying

I'm not arguing, if you REALLY want to know more about it then you can read up on it but I just don't care what you do/don't know (no offence just the mood I'm in). I'm not spoon feeding anyone any information today.

People often miss the fact most of the issues lumped in with global warming are to do with limited resources and pollution effects. Plastics are polluting the dead areas in the seas and killing migrating birds off. Combined with global warming this is seriously effecting their numbers.

So many people are correct in assuming that global warming is not proved but that doesn't mean the same measures to reduce carbon emissions are not good things to do.

I am not one for conspiracies but there are scientist and media agencies that use global warming to further other points for convenience and easy consumption.

So, does this mean that I can still carry on burning huge mountains of tyres in my back garden?

Aa far as im concerned we won't be able to tell if we have impacted the earth's climate/atmosphere for at least a few thousand more years. In the past the world has dramatically cooled and warmed over the space of hundreds of years.

The lack of sun spots seems to be putting a huge dent in earths warming. Sun spots that were overly active for the past 15 years and possibly caused the recent warming we have had. The fact is we don't know so it is pointless flying in one direction when you don't know where you are or where you are going.

The best scientists said 30 years ago we were heading for an ice age, the best scientists nowdays say we are heading for a warm age. The truth is we won't know for hundreds of years because our understanding of climate is that of an infact. We have no clue about what causes the El Nino .

Global warming is a fad and the crazy resources that have been devoted to it should be devoted to other more important sciences. If we threw a few hundred billion towards Nuclear Fusion we'd sort out all the current problems currently aflicting it , instead we waste money on crap such as wind power which is completely unrealible at best.

I love these threads, people wander in and make their case based on nothing at all with no shred of proof to back it up and somehow they know better than people who've devoted years and years to this complex subject.

Time was ya had to get a man so drunk that he couldn't stand to see this mix of wrong and self assuredness.

God bless the internet

But the point is we don't have a clue what the outcome is going to be. We understand the planet's climate as much as we understand the beginning of the universe.

Should we be planning for an ice age , global warming or are things going to stay exactly as they are?

I agree, but my point is that as new 'green' energy alternatives are being invested in and studied, what work is actually being done to plan for any outcome?

We should be planning for any change in the climate.

It's much the same as we should be studying areas of natural disasters and developing infrastructures that will withstand disasters, rather than focusing on disasters themselves and developing warning systems which do nothing until its too late

I bought some summer shorts, a wooly hat, an umbrella, wellies, some sunscreen and a rainjacket yesterday.

I'm planning for any change in the climate this weekend.

From the article

The data suggests that changing solar activity is influencing in some way the global climate causing the world to get warmer

Their science is good :pac:

25 years ago "the experts" were telling us that ireland would have the climate of southern spain by 2020 and that southern spain, france etc would become desert :rolleyes:

They could be right. Have you not noticed the huge amount of Spanish students that flock here every year? They must know something we don't!

ProTip - what scientists actually report and what you read in the news are often two very different things.

As in, one is actual science, the other is sensationalist bullshit to sell copies of whatever rag is willing to print it.

It's unbelievably stupid to think that cutting back on CO2 emissions and dependence on oil is a some how a bad thing...

Lookee here boy, I say, I just flew in from Dallas. I'm an oooil man ya see and I'll a-thank you not to tell me what is or is not stupid.

Dependence on oil is the way forward for our great nation. I say the way forward!

Oh well that's ok then. Stand aside scientists, some guy on the internet says he's decided there isn't a problem.
Not only that but sure who cares if there is, as we'll be gone anyway and feck anyone else after us.

I very very highly recommend everyone watches this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=288952680655100870
It's a Channel 4 Documentary called "The Great Global Warming Swindle" - and it's a real eye opener. Even watch the first 10 mins and you'll get the gist of it...

Global waming is like religion. Had a great story at first which everyone believed and jumped on the bandwagon. Now under closer scrutiny most people can see that the story has more holes than a block of swiss cheese - but its far too late to stop it really.

They should at least stop demanding money off the 3rd world countries and forcing them to do the dirty work that we're to good to do anymore.

Zascar · 19-06-2009 06:03PM

Yep - or doing everything they can to stop the growth of renawal energies like solar - seriously getting in the way of 3rd world development.

Oh.. the documentary that Ofcom ruled against as being impartial and misrepresenting the people featured in it.

Pickled Tranee · 20-06-2009 08:40AM

Yah Inorite!?

Personally, I think that you are much more smarter than every other so-called "Scientist" in the world. I mean it's not like they have any evidence, right?

Joey the lips · 20-06-2009 08:50AM

Global warming theories are not a joke but I agree there is a lot of scaremongering. There is some facts you cant ignore, for example

1. CFC's were having a terriable effect on the Ozone.

2. The Greenland shelf is melting at an alarming rate and its not coincidental.

But its cushy for us to sit at home and call it all crap.

What the hell! we dont care anyway!

MoominPapa · 20-06-2009 09:12AM

If global warming is false we've nothing to worry about, if it is true then Irelands new Mediterranean type climate will make it a more attractive destination for tourists and rich immigrants alike which should give a welcome boost to the ailing property market
Doubles all round

Global warming theories are a joke
