Climate. Change

Because you’ve got marijuana hidden under the front seat ??? JS.

This is from a post I did on 3 March this year...…….

#Default Re: A trip to antarctica



According to the above Scientists there is Climate Change,
this was on the news yesterday..............
In the News yesterday,,
The BAS, British Antarctic Survey, ship, could not get across the Weddell Sea, the Ice was too thick and this after a six month Summer
The SEA Ice was Five metres or 16 Feet thick, she only made 5 miles in 24 hours steaming. They said they have to try again next season after the winter.
and that folks is Global Warming.
So who is telling porkies???

One thing that nobody seems to be considering is that when wind and wave energy first came into the equation to save carbon and nobody ever took into consideration how much carbon it cost to actually manufacture the turbine and the outgoing cables there were huge subsidies in place which made it very attractive and very sensible for the manufacturers and the whole green lobby to promote it if you take away those very lucrative subsidies the industry. Pieces around its own ankles

I am surprised none of our resident navigators have referred to Lloyds Maritime Atlas. The first illustration The World Showing Bad Weather Areas and Periods. It shows places where you should not be at certain times of the year!

Bill, an example for such, would be the North Pole at the winter solstice. Especially without your fur lined underpants. Cheers JS.

John #25 Never mind the North Pole anything north of 62 deg. Nov. to March was usually a wake up call to your sanity. What to hell am I doing here!! Have attached said atlas for reference.

Regards Bill

#26 No where as lonely as a clapped out old stand by boat above 62 north in March. With storm warning force 10 + in force. The ocean deserted of all the various shipping that was there a short time ago, as all steaming towards the land. Then your bag of bolts collapses and only by the good chances of having competent engineers manage to get back to port, walk off that one and on to another and straight back out to the installation which has to the safety rules have a vessel on attendance. Doesn’t matter you get blown 100 miles down the North Sea, the rules have been obeyed. The 100 miles away just a formality ,no need to mention in any case. The one you took in all the bottom ends were gone so was lucky to make it anyway. Weather was something one had to live with, was not too big a problem on proper seaworthy ships. There are very few people I know or knew who would have taking the conditions I have seen on some of these vessels, who would accept just for starters going on water rationing before ever leaving the Quay. Just assume a very bad scenario how would you. Deal with badly burned and injured survivors with no fresh water. Safety is of two types paper safety and real safety. weather is of two kinds also good or bad. Bad weather doesn’t really matter so much on a well found ship , however on another one not so well found can be a bit worrying at times. Cheers JS

We are to have a new solar farm at a cost to a Chinese investor of some 5 billion dollars.

Of course the panels must, like wind turbines, be built using energy to do so.
Then there are the batteries available, which also have to be manufactured and when fully spent disposed of.

So where is the reduction in carbon to come from.

Bearing in mind that man is made up of about 70% carbon, all vegetation and animal that dies gives off methane as it decomposes, and all mammals and other creatures emit carbon dioxide.

So stop procreating, stop breathing, stop building and problem solved,

To say anymore would just confuse without being able to demonstrate on a blackboard or paper. If you question your friend the compass adjuster I would imagine he would be able to answer any of your queries. Cheers JWS.

If I recall correctly from my days at school the earth is not fully round but more Pear shaped than any thing.
That combined with all the matter man has put up in space, movement of other planets in our galaxy, all of this may in some way have an effect on our weather patterns.

#29 That’s right it’s polar diameter is approx. 27 miles less than its equatorial diameter. The moon being the closest planet to the earth affects the tides more than any other. Although the sun will also have a slight affect also, don’t get confused to the sun is a star also the same as all the millions of other stars. JS
