Climate. Change

[Keith Tindell]

When you consider the punitive measures the governments have introduced (scheme to tax us), i suspect a good example is the advertisement flyers we all get inside the newspapers and magazines, they are shaken out of the paper and straight into the reclaim bin , not even read,, if you think of the energy to produce those bits of paper, plus the material itself, a complete waste of energy, kt

When ice melts it takes less room than when frozen.

As to all the fliers we get, how many trees suffer to distribute this very dubious message?
We do more damage to the environment by removing trees, they soak up Co2, than we do by running our cars.

Some points taken from a recent newspaper readers letter to the paper. On Climate Science.
Meteorologists often admit weather forecasts are often wrong, what makes people think they can forecast the weather decades into the future. ?
If oncologists were spending billions of tax monies and constantly making false diagnoses , Iwould call for their funding to cease.
The earths past climate has often been warmer than it is presently, not just in some ancient geological era. It was warmer during the Roman and mediaeval times .
Global temperatures have a variability of about plus or minus 3.5 C. We are. Presently about 1 degree above the long term mean. But during the mediaeval warming the temperature was 2.5C above it.
Scientists Webb and Kench (2010). Analysed more than 600 coral reef islands and found 40% were stable, 40% had increased in size, and only 20% had decreased . Both algal and coral reefs thrive when there is a high atmospheric CO2 content.
There is 3500 million years of that written in stone.

There was a S. Peyps many years ago who kept a diary.
Some interesting information was gleaned from that by an achedemic here some years ago about the time when Gore began his campaign after loosing the election to Bush.

In it he found reference to droughts across Europe in the 1600's the likes of which had never ben seen before.

Ships captains returning from the seas of the then known world spoke of weather conditions unseen before.
The Aboriginals have been here as long as 40,000 years claim those who know these things.
But they have no written language or history so we have no idea what conditions were like then.


But the so called scientists, who cannot even get a two day weather forecast correct, claim all manner of things about Oz and the terrible future for it if we do not change our ways.

Our 'polution' of the atmosphere amounts to less than 2% of global total, one volcano can put out in one burst ten times what we have so far put out here in Oz.


But continue eating the mushrooms as they need far more of the residue to feed us.
