Re: Climate Change -Again.
If politicians and other were truthful about what they want to achieve then it is just possible some support from the likes of many dubbed as 'climate deniers' may change.
But there are too many sides to the argument and very little evidence of some common ground.
The claim tides are rising as an example.
I have just about every two weeks visited some part of the Victorian coast line over the past 40 years.
There is no evidence that high and low tide marks have changed.

Re: Climate Change -Again.
My house is right on the dge of the Quayside, 10 feet from the high tide, the tides are still the same height as they were over 20 years ago.
Where is this metre of extra water coming from ?

Re: Climate Change -Again.
Do we really need to see for ourselves impending dangers, before they become believable.
A four minute warning would leave little chance to act - nuclear wise.
The floods not apparent today, may just kill our children etc.
Not preaching, just think it is worth giving some thought to.

Re: Climate Change -Again.
Speaking the other day with a pilot I know, he has flown just about every country there is in al different circumstances.
The three corner stones he calls them of the Climate debate.
Temperature, Co2 levels and seal levels.
In his opinion are no different now than some 40 years ago when he first flew.
Prior to 2000 when Gore lost the election we heard very little of this.

Re: Climate Change -Again.
10,000 years ago, Boltonistan was under 200 feet of ice, Now it has gone,
What caused it to go??
No cars, no planes, no industry. just nature.
The South Pole used to be in Africa and the Antarctic Continent was Rain Forests and tropical. That is why it has loads of oil and gas.
The Earth wobbles over the ages .
Can the Greens stop it ???Why is everyone of the Greens trying to stop the Natural changes, They have no chance It is just a political ploy to get themselves into Parliament and make plenty of money, only the gullible will follow them.
If you have a few spare minutes, calculate the Total surface area of all the seas and Oceans on earth in square Meters, and then by one meter deep, I did it once on here, and then when you have discovered how many Cubic meters in Trillions, Trillions and Trillions . then find out where the water is coming from.
The earth has the same amount of water on it as it had Billions of years ago.
You cannot make water, You can turn it into steam, you can turn it into ice, but you cannot make any more.
Off to my breakfast.

Re: Climate Change -Again.
Everything in the world spins on money, i think i have posted before, every time i pick up a paper or magazine, it contains loads of glossy fliers advertising various things, obviously the companies get a tax break for advertising, and those fliers go straight in the bin. The postman drops the same fliers through my letterbox every day, straight in the bin again the postal firm are paid to do that by the companies, every one of those flyers was part of a tree. Stop the tax allowance on the use of flyers, and keep the trees in place instead.

Re: Climate Change -Again.
Civilization could crumble by 2050 if we don't stop climate change now, new paper says
It seems every week there's a scary new report about how man-made climate change is going to cause the collapse of the world's ice sheets, result in the extinction of up to 1 million animal species and — if that wasn't bad enough — make our beer very, very expensive. This week, a new policy paper from an Australian think tank claims that those other reports are slightly off; the risks of climate change are actually much, much worse than anyone can imagine.
According to the paper, climate change poses a "near- to mid-term existential threat to human civilization," and there's a good chance society could collapse as soon as 2050 if serious mitigation actions aren't taken in the next decade.
Published by the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration in Melbourne (an independent think tank focused on climate policy) and authored by a climate researcher and a former fossil fuel executive, the paper's central thesis is that climate scientists are too restrained in their predictions of how climate change will affect the planet in the near future.
The current climate crisis, they say, is larger and more complex than any humans have ever dealt with before.

Re: Climate Change -Again.
There is the claim by scientists that Co2 and Methane are Green House gasses and acting as green houses is warming the planet.
But as both are heavier than air how can they possibly act in such a manner?

Re: Climate Change -Again.
VESUVIUS is blowing its top at te moment, pumping millions of tons of Sulfur Dioxide, Methane and many other gases out into the atmosphere, amid huge streams of red hot lava.
I am awaiting all the Greens to mobilize and go and stop it.
Meanwhile they tax my little car that only drives 2000 miles a Year by £250. I guess that will stop the flow.
