Global WarmingThe view outside my window this morning suggests that Global Warming is a load of bollocks, designed to part us from yet more taxes, as did the walk to the paper shop.The view at 6am even more so...

If you had some decent cycle paths you wouldn't have to walk

ah but if you watched that film last night you realise that global warming isn't always about it getting warmer.
(Can't remember name of film....we only watched for 15mins and it was shit so we turned over) |
||||||
| nlag |
Yes it was shit....Mrs nlag watched it. In the end, I think that America saved the world. |

Yes, by burning books in a building full of wooden furniture....how very 1930's. |

The Day After Tomorrow
I think your referring to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319262/ |
||||||

Indeed - fantastic special effects but sadly sub-GCSE standard science for the plot.
I understand it was from the people who brought us Independence Day. |
||||||
| nlag |
Did anyone save the world in that one? |
||||||
| Baldy |
May be the Yanks, but I aint sure  
|
||||||
| raveydavey |
Indeed it was, led by the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

I fear that Ravey's Global Warming thread has met unseasonal winds and been taken hopelessly off course. | ||||||

Its quite simple really. Warming melts the ice cap and this melting iced water dilutes with cold water the warm gulf streams that keep our climate moderate and hence make us colder.
The big problem with the global warming issue is information and trust. It is a sad indictment on the world leaders that they are not trusted to tell the truth or share accurate information. We are simply not given enough reliable information to make any judgments. Such is the record of lies mistruths, spin and deceit we simply can not believe what the likes of Blair, Bush and Brown say. So called independent scientist have also consistently been discredited due to their collaboration with business in producing scientific evidence so very often they too can not be believed. It gets so you have to go and trust your own instincts. My own is that the Earth is reasonably self containing organic body. Like any other body if you destroy its lungs and pump enough shit into it, it closes down. Personally I think the mass de forestation of the planet due to atmospheric poisoning and to make way for meat producing grazing is destroying its breathing apparatus. I also think that to be in denial of the consequences of mass unregulated poisonous emissions is a little blasé to say the least. Put them both together and I find it impossible to ignore that we are affecting the Planets well being. |

 I consider myself told off.
I recycle everything I can. I make everyone double side print to save paper. I make them use the other side of paper for notes. I just like my car. I am not having a Prius! |

I think that we have taken nature beyond the point of no return, and we may as well all drive tanks and fly as often and as far as possible. | ||||||

It all pales (sic) into insignificance when you consider that China alone is opening ONE brand new, coal burning power generation system PER WEEK
Enjoy Earth Hour |

Spot on 30Mill, and if anyone has a few £k or $k spare, get your money into large mining interests such as RTZ, BHP.....The Chinese market is, according to many market analysts, expected to create some mega mining co's through mergers. | ||||||

The entire Australian economy and the strength of the Aussie dollar (usually around 40p now at 44 - 45p) is due wholey and solely to the fact that the "Big Australian" BHP and the resource sector is BOOMING with sales purely to China |
||||||
| nlag |
Was reading about it today....Interesting sector given that banking has stolen all the limelight lately. | ||||||

after NR I will never own any more shares

We used to have a coal mining industry here until Thatcher and Scargill consipred to destroy it. There is still hundreds of years worth of coal underground.
Yet for some reason it is apparently cheaper to ship coal in from Poland, China or Australia rather than dig it out of the ground next to the power stations of the Aire Valley...

We used to produce seasonal soft fruits for the whole nation, and hops for the brewing undustries, but our government told us we had to be in the Common Market, and they in turn told us our apples were too big, or too small or too scarred, or too tasty and juicey, and that we had to stock our shops with their shitty Golden Delicious instead. | ||||||

Don't buy shares in Michelin....Recent sales have been flat. |
||||||

|
||||||

I'm glad I had the chance to use that.....This is the gospel truth....I was reading the BBC Paris Stock Market report earlier and it said "Michelin shares had dropped 2% amid reports from Pirelli that sales had been flat"  .....

Anyone know any more tyre jokes that I could use as spares? | ||||||

can we lock this thread please? | ||||||

Why? We are just getting to the hub of the matter | ||||||

Very under-reported this last week is the news that global temperatures are set to cool by 1.5 degrees due to the end of a cycle of solar activity, that Danish and Russian scientists stated several years ago was responsible for the recent warming of the planet.
Where has this news come from? Our very own government funded Met Office. Of course a natural cycle isn't anywhere near as taxable as all those nasty cars though is it? Like the millenium bug before it, another big fat con.
|
||||||
| 30 Mill |
Correct -
The actual average temp of planet Earth has NOT risen since 1998 |
||||||
| Baldy |
May not have risen, but ive never known a Summer as cool as one we just had.. |
