Re: Global Warming
Who is also to say that these frequent eruptions of volcanoes etc. are not promoted by underground so called technology in the search for more intelligence on nuclear explosions and the likes. Never mind the likes of North Korea who is always the fall guy, what about France in the Pacific not so long back. Other countries to boot no doubt. They all shout loud and hard about so called Climate Change , how about looking in their own backyard, or in some cases others backyards. JWS.

Re: Global Warming
Makes one wonder what they are trying to do with that machine under the Swiss alps, though I must admit our weather over the last twelve months has been what i would call normal; except for the increased heat over the summer months, but I don't think as hot as the Persian gulf in mid summer in the 50s, now its back to mild and rain with Autumn arriving.

Re: Global Warming
That imposed on Joe public will make a difference, well a little difference.
Banning trains, planes and automobiles would be a better start point,
WofMD, rockets are not helpful. The space race is about finding a safe
place for a few or them not you.
Did you know of the existence of nuclear bunkers years ago ? where
they were ? Any possibility you would have had been allowed access.
Wake up and smell the coffee.

Re: Global Warming
#144.... Keith if you had had the privilege of doing the MN defence course in 1962, it would have given you a better idea of the sequence of events that was expected to unfurl on the outbreak of nuclear war, and you are correct there was not. A place reserved for you in a fall out shelter. Neither would there be today either I suspect. Priority’s were given mainly to those who had caused the war in the first place. Hope you have a sturdy kitchen table. Cheers JS

Re: Global Warming
Rob, we had a scientist, who does not believe in GW, on the radio the other day.
He listed all the global events over centuries that have occurred.
In the middle ages there was an ice age of types where for almost 100 years the earth was very cold.
In the time of Henry 8 the Thames froze over so hard that Oxen were roasted on there.
There is evidence plenty of similar weather patterns over the centuries, and that is what the current situation is in Oz, extreme weather patterns.
Victoria 1998 Melbourne had four consecutive days over 40, this summer we had just one, but of course the 'Greens' and most of the Labor party will use any bit of info, no matter how small to push their case.
But as to the New York situation, Sweden has been doing that for the past ten years or so.
Here we are complaining because we are putting all or rubbish into land fill
But a recent survey has found that one in three 'Greens' are just as stupid as the other two.
But look around the globe, how many countries are serious about this matter?
Yes some of the western world is, but look at some in the mid east, Countries such as Afghanistan and other such nations.
They are in such a mess that it will take many generations before they will even begin to consider it.
Take the politics out of the CC and you will find there is little left to concern us.
Just as an aside the climate of the UK is classified as temperate, hot and cold, wet and dry. Will it suddenly become tropical if all changes??

Re: Global Warming
Today we had the 'children' march as I understand they did in other countries as well, all about CC.
Ours here were driven by the Unions and the 'Greens' and in many instances supported by the Labor premiers.
I have no problem with such, it is good to see the up and coming generations taking note of modern issues.
But on this one I fear they have in many instances been a little brain washed by some of the extremists.
Today one of the 'Green' members of state parliament resigned from it and the 'Green' Party
Her reason,
'They are nothing more than a narsistic, self serving, inward looking, self appointed cult, more concerned with global domination rather than global warming.

Re: Global Warming
Scientist are now only beginnng to research he biggest source of influence on the earths climate - the Sun.
Climate change scientists have ignored the effect that the changing conditions on th sun can govern our climate change.
A group of scientist are trying to establish a link between the suns increaing solar activity and earths climtate.

Re: Global Warming
Yes Vic, there was a very good article on this subject last week on the net.
Scientists have not considered this to such an extent before now but are coming to understand the power of the sun.
There is also the problem of the earth tilting more than usual, magnetic north is about 39 nautical miles away from normal.

Re: Global Warming
#150 Vic if the scientists have only just got round to . Considering the sun as being the biggest deciding factor on their climate change theories there is certainly a screw loose somewhere. The 4 seasons we have would not exist if the world itself was not inclined to the plane of its orbit. Around the sun. The sun has every affect on the weather depending on its distance and angle of declination. Climate. Change to be occurring would have to have a change in these factors , to alter them I don’t think man will not be around long enough to achieve that. Let him stick to. Keeping the air clean as possible to alleviate sufferers of lung problems. The biggest problem about air pollution basically the worlds population is too big. This has all been said before. People believe what they want to believe , the kids on their own don’t even know what they are talking about, they are being used by unscrupulous people some of whom have been brainwashed themselves. Everyone is allowed to believe what they want, but to indoctorate children and to cheer them on to me is the pits.. JS
