Sorry, much has moved on and
far to fast.

There are many other factors in the cause of climate change which are being ignored.

Should be what we discuss. Would be good to all sing from the same hymn sheet but, some just seem stuck in the past.

, Do a little "cut and paste"

We are becoming a world of moronic 'cut and paste' experts citing other peoples opinions whether they be positive or negative, to suit their own perspective on any given subject. The reality of being able to form one's own opinion, whether right or wrong will be something that disappears forever as we become slaves to cut and paste experts who may or may not have had an original thought in their lives.

Whilst some may disregard a life long navigators experience of weather patterns that he will have experienced during his long career, most of us bridge keepers were experienced weather watchers having to submit readings to Portishead and other radio stations around the globe every four hours on every passage we made, these were not restricted to wind direction and force but many other factors. We learned to read the weather as the safety of our ship, crew and cargo were our prime concerns to make sure that all reached the next destination. We also had an inherent interest in the history of weather, as it was important to us, whether we be a on motor/steam or sailing ship. Some of us have navigated and sailed on nearly every ocean of the world from the Arctic to the South Pacific and beyond, maybe we should be allowed a little latitude for our experience and opinions, rather than just being an armchair expert. I remember the experts and weather mathematical modellers telling us ignorant seamen that rogue waves couldn't possibly exist and were a figment of our imagination - then we got the satellite era and the experts discovered there were rogue waves occurring every day somewhere on the world's oceans and that we primitive seamen had been correct all the time, however an apology never surfaced.

As a navigator I would not dream of telling a baker he did not know the history of bread

information on climate change.

Do a little "cut and paste" to support your claims as Keith has been doing, otherwise it's just more singing to the choir.

Hope this will not be ignored.

A positive and well put post Ivan, think many should take note of what you say here,as the old saying goes One Mans meat is another Mans poison.
Or
Only he who operates the Machinery will know how,

Climate change is devastating our seas and frozen regions as never before, a major new United Nations report warns.

According to a UN panel of scientists, waters are rising, the ice is melting, and species are moving habitat due to human activities.

And the loss of permanently frozen lands threatens to unleash even more carbon, hastening the decline.

There is some guarded hope that the worst impacts can be avoided, with deep and immediate cuts to carbon emissions.

Sadly, I am alright Jack, is no longer good enough.

All I have ever maintained is the young did not cause this
and should not be left to deal with any mess that ensues.

There is no Planet B.

They are looking at Mars for planet (Plan B ) lol
cheers

No worries if you can promise, sons and daughters, grandchildren etc,
they will be safe in the future they inherit honestly. If not a measure
to safeguard your own from danger and harm, could be worthwhile for
them and future generations ?

Any change, may help the planet.

Just may possibly be worth a thought
at least to trying to ensure your own
at least have all and a every possible future.

Surely, worth insurance, some would
do more to care for a car etc.

How many disaster movies commence
with Governments ignoring scientists.

Condemn, nit pick, ignore and not bother -
if you can be honest with your own young
and guarantee them, they will be OK.

Or do what our elders did and strive to wards
a hopeful, better life and future at least for our
kids.

Tell the children.

This planet is all we have. And we have almost ruined it.

There is no planet B.

Ivan.
I was washed half over the side in 1952 by a wave the size I had never seen before; in a storm the likes of the one that just hit the Caribbean, my god I said, as I clung to a life saving brass door handle, my god I should have said I have been caught up in a climate change, meanwhile waves of over 90 feet sent a ship full of logs; nine miles away, to the bottom with all hands. You are right, no one in those days believed in rouge waves a hundred feet high, now they are saying it's a new phenomenon.
