Can we agree that global warming is a fact?!

Must have got pretty hot in biblical times. Noah had to build a boat when the ice caps melted then

 

Pictures on the 26th, or it didn't happen.

 

of my gonads

 

But Barn, the water temperature stays fairly constant all year round so you will still get frozen danglies they will just warm up a bit quicker once you are out

 

We're all grown ups here Barney.

 

well you tell the cod round here that

 

From what I read it's all down to the TDi fitted into my van !!!!

 

i thank its lous electric blanket

 

Probably as I need the engine on to stop it draining the batteries

 

It's not global warming, it's climate change. We have had several ice ages over the last hundred thousand years and there will be more to come in the not too distant. Our stupid politicians are all trying to find ways of preventing climate change when they should be concentrating more on how we can adapt our lifestyles to the inevitable.

 

Definitely climate change - but whether it is caused by human activity is in my opinion debatable - I wonder if woolly mammoth emissions caused the end of the last ice age?

 

When I was at school I learnt that if the history of the earth was one year, man came along at 11,55pm on December 31st.
Geologically 4,000 years is nowt, there's been at least 8 ice ages and periods of extreme heat in between its just cyclical only we're here noticing it a bit this time, sod all we can do about it though!

 

It's not politicians - they're fairly clueless, know little about science and listen to whoever shouts loudest. The shouters are primarily pressure groups who have a political agenda of their own. It's really got nothing to do with climate at all.

 

Man isn't causing changes to climate with emitions from cars and industry etc,as we've discussed climate will change anyway it goes in cycles, what man is causing is pollution

 

I've just cut my lawn the week before christmas, need i say more?

 

Conspiracy theories always give me a giggle - especially one with "scientists"and "government"

If you think the only way to tell the temp is by a thermometer, or we only have records of a few hundred years, then I would suggest some more research before you finilise an opinion.

We have flux, cold periods and warm periods, but the trend is upwards. Yes earth has been colder and earth has been warmer.

What the "scientists" are worried about is the rate of changes in the atmosphere (the earths duvet which keeps us warm) as a result of fossil fuel burning, this is unprecedented in the available records going back millennia (ice cores, foraminifera, diatoms, excreta)

 

My Mrs wishes I would gain a couple of inches !!! I am eating all I can but she is still not happy !

 

And that is the crux of the matter, it's not all scientists, not the one's I and lots of people listen too, only the one's who it suits to say that, but then again people on the other side of the fence say exactly the same thing
