Global Warming -8c

[terambulan]

Global Warming -8c..........Pah!

'tis cold enuf to kill all bugs that damage your precious plants. Snails, slugs, greenfly & bugs etc can't live through this.

Light the fires, smoke - increase that hole in the ozone layer! Now you PCs....shurrup!

Feed the birds - sparrows have disappeared round here? Only have nasty magpies and am not feeding them!

Who said global warming would make Britain's winters warmer?

[BertiWooster]

Quite , Ethel

Could do with some of this global warming this morning .
Cold or what ?

And where has all this fog come from - it's like 18th century england - I kept expecting to see horse drawn carriages on the road , coming into work this morning

I don't know Ethel, but they keep telling us that the ice is melting at the North Pole, so something must be getting warmer.

Hmmm, Global Warming was invented as a further way of taxing joe bloggs and co.
Many renowned scientists have stipulated that the world is just going through a change, as it has done through the centuries...

[youngmafbog]

Pop down the Natural History museum and you will see the earth changes, plus there were 7 ice ages.

As you say its to tax joe blogs and alos pamper to the hippy anti car brigade

I thought the hole in the ozone layer had disappeared! It did! They don't really know what it is, it obviously comes and goes at will.
What about all these dry hot and tropical summers we were going to have? Nothing tropical about last year's summer - apart from the amount of rain!

The Ozone hole has started to close because of the Montreal Protocol phasing out the chemicals that caused it.

Mr Ben please tell us who these "renowned scientists" are who are telling us that Global warming is natural.

Certainly the most renowned and oldest Scientific institution in the world - the Royal Society is in no doubt they're wrong.

Nasa has huge amounts of research going on at Goddard and I don't think you'll find any doubters there either!

There is no doubt that the Earth's climate has changed before - but this one is different.

The current warming cannot be explained by natural causes.

And if anyone doesn't think it's warming at all - You'd better have a good explanation for where all the glaciers have gone!

I once worked for a short while at the Antarctic Polar Research Dept in Cambridge in the 1990's and they were convinced then that Global Warming was happening. They said that the ice sheet had shrunk and that they were getting creatures swimming around in Southern Oceans that they had not seen before. The snow line had receded several miles even then.

Those who deny that climate change is due to human activity are extremely stupid and ignorant people. I am sick and tired of their stupid banter and barefaced lies.

Birdie is among the ignorant and repeats the lies they and other fools have swallowed.

The vast majority of scientists agree. Those who don't cherry pick data to support their ignorance.

The scientific data is unequivocal. Carbon dioxide causes the atmosphere to retain heat. Humans have released a vast amount of carbon dioxide. More than half of it since 1975. The rate of release increases daily.

The Utube link is not a link to more information just the opinions of a dumbass. Jake's link to nasa is far more credible.

[jake-the-peg]

Birdie nobody disagrees that the Earth's climate has changed in the past.

Not the Royal Society, not NASA Not the international Panel on Climate change - Nobody.

This current warming was also started naturally.

However it should have stopped and it hasn't!

The only way you can explain this fact is by taking account of human changes.

I can find people on You tube who are convinced that Aliens visit the Earth, Man never visited the moon and all sorts of rot.

Why don't you find me a major scientific body that disagrees with man-made global warming.

Heck even George Bush agrees with it now and started people looking at ways to reduce CO2 emissions!
