Perlease, Mankind has control of 4% of the carbon, UK about 4% of that and Sweatyland about 1% of that, so if every sweaty stops emitting any carbon at all that's reduce world emmsions by a gargantuan 0.0016% Talk about pi55ing in the wind! Is Arnie getting over excited here?

And if the 96% of natural carbon is removed in the carbon cycle and 2% of the human 4% is removed that leaves an additional 2% each year.

It's not difficult Geezer

More goes in than comes out

PS I think you might mean pi$$ing in the Ocean.

Pi$$ing in the wind is where something you excrete comes back to mess you up.

Which is very apt in the climate debate but not, I think your position!

We are all wasting our time trying to cut back on emissions as countries like the US, China and India will not sacrifice their standard of living.

Better therefore to tackle the problem and minimize the effects. We need to build better river and sea flood defences. Clean water distribution is a must. GM should be used more in 3rd world countries not in Europe where we can handle it. Short sleeved tops should be banned and more education about skin cancer given in schools.
Greater fire protection especially in Australia. I could go on!
Canute could not roll back the sea, we cannot eliminate global warming.

How much carbon do you think each person in India and China uses Rov?

Is it really their fault?

We still need to do those things because the damage has already been done for the next 30-40 years.

That's happening and there's nothing we can do about it.

What we do now is for our children and grandchildren - which is why I suspect the motives of some sceptics are purely selfish.

Incidently the UK is in the fortunate position of being one of the least likely directly affected countries.

Directly

If you think illegal immigration is bad now, wait till it really starts to bite

Jake you sound like the Tory Party in just sitting back with no ideas or effort to solve an impending crisis.

R1Geezer, in 2006 the Scots Government said Scotland accounted for 9% of CO2 resulting from the production and consumption of energy in the UK. So, if we use that figure against the 4% of the world�s CO2 you had for the UK, that gives a result 225 times the amount you had.

Jake - can you tell me of a single case where scientists have proved a 10 year climate model - ie one where they have managed a given area and been able to predict the climate in that area.

I haven't seen a single study that has been accurate.

But we insist on spending billions of pounds on something that can't be proved and is purely a theory.

Would you have been prepared to spend billions on eugenics last century?
