OMG WTF...its COLD in winter!!!! Next thing we will have people saying that if the temperature reaches 25 deg C in summer then that will be proof of global warming to!
Personally I will start taking notice when I can sunbathe in England in January without freezing my cods off
(ps...forgot, I DID get sunburned in January once...at Les Deux Alps...but its been normal to sunbathe at alpine ski resorts for many years.)
[edit] oops..just noticed the sand storm bit...is raining frogs forecast for next week as well?[/edit]
well we dont mind if the level of water grows 1 cm a year, what we dont want is it to grow 1000 m suddenly
what did einstein say on atlantis?
its posible that the ice caps grew so thick the centrifugal force displaced the whole crust ending the poles in the equator and causing a flood that destoryed civilizations
of course einstein was a pussy and he said only the crust not to disagree with momentum conservation imo the whole earth axe might end offset 90º just as some planets of this solar system
then if we listen to einstein the danger is not the ice caps to shrink but to grow
if you dont understand what einstein said imagine you are a fat ice cap in the center axe of a rotating platform, when you put yourself just 1mm offset youl be taken to the equator of the platform by centrifugal force
such brilliant minds cant not know this and if they want to cool the planet means they want the ice caps to grow so they want them to end in the equator to cause a flood and the destruction of this civilization
now you know the truth, dont trust al gore he is lying, einstein was right and use a lot of energy so the planet keeps warm and those ice caps dont grow dangerly
It's a nice and warm 2.5c here :P Hasn't rained in about a month, been too darn cold I'd presume, can't believe it -10 in Scotland I gotta visit Scotland soon, see what the weather is like up North
at least we agree on one thing. Al Gore is the biggest tosser around today, his film based on unsubstantiated and unproveable 'evidence'....we have all been conned into paying more taxes for the supposed reductions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, and slowly we are waking up to this greenwash.
One of the most shocking claims of the climate change lobby is that the melting of the ice caps will result in (and I'm not sure the exact amount) something in the region of sea level rises of about 9 metres. But the UN's very own climate change investigation department did some research into what would happen if the ice caps melted, and to everyone's surprise the results came back that the most the sea levels will rise IF the ice caps were suddenly to melt would be 0.09 metres, and they could actually cause sea levels to DROP by 0.02 meters (don't ask me to explain this I don't know how it would work either)
The most interesting 'pub fact' Ive found is that if we painted every single roof in the world white, the albedo of the earth (the percentage of sunlight that is reflected off the earth), which is currently at 0.29 (29%) would increase to 0.30 (30%) almost exactly cancelling out the global warming that has taken place thus far.
I'm in no way denying that some warming of the earth has taken place, but the climate goes in cycles, from the balmy conditions of medieval times to the freeze of the late 20th century which prompted many to believe an ice age was on the way
His film was based on the results of the largest international study into the subject there has ever been. That's hardly "unsubstantiated and unproveable".
