Climate Change

[Ivan Cloherty]

Why have a go at me, I did travel much by sea.

I believe air travel to be a main offender and no longer fly.

K.

Not having a go lad, just making a comment, alas ships are the worst offenders these days, but on the brighter side of that they are serving a useful purpose in bringing in the things we need and we travelled by sea as a profession so have a valid excuse in our quest to serve our fellow men (and women and all who don't know what they are)

I have been travelling around this world every year for 69 years, since 1950. Next March it will be 70 years of Travelling around the world, , back to the North and South Pacific.
The weather and climate I have experienced has NOT changed one bit.
I do not have an `Ology` from a classroom. BUT I have a world of experience.

When I was at sea, for many years I have to send to the Metrological Weather Centre in Bracknell in Herts. every six hours, the Lat and Long position of the ship, Sea temperatures, air temperatures wet and dry, wind speed and direction, Cloud formations, wave heights, and any other phenomena's such as Locusts, fish encountered and so on.
I have not noticed any major changes in all this time.
All I can see is Nonentities with a classroom Ology telling everyone LIES.

If people want to protest go to the places where they do pollute the world.
Indonesia, Brazil, Bangladesh India China and Gulf States. But here in Bolton istan everything is perfectly normal, No worries.
That list of Australian Cities Keith posted are OK been going there for 69 years, Try complaining in China. Nothing.

How did all of these climate change protesters get to their marching points, bet they didn't all walk and cycle and without a doubt will leave tonnes of rubbish for others to clear up, as they have on previous protests

Hmmm! contributing to global warming then !!

as well as all the additional pollution from traffic jams caused by their demonstrations

John,some common sense at last !!!

Over the last year, young people have been protesting about the governments lack of action on the impending climate disaster.

Today they have called on adults to also take part in the strike ahead of the UN Climate Action Summit.

Across the world there is an overwhelming consensus amongst scientists that the actions of humans are making our planet hotter.

There is no longer any debate on the fact that without urgent action to tackle the issue of carbon emissions we will be in serious trouble.

Experts agree that the current action by government is woefully short of what is needed if we are going to prevent catastrophic damage to our planet and way of life.

If you want to understand more about how we know the world is warming you can read this handy guide from NASA:

https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

The consensus is that the action currently being taken by governments around the world is woefully insufficient.

Our young have told the politicians to do what they should have been doing and must do.

"We want to put pressure on the government as it’s our future"

I may decide not to be cremated after the University has finished with my body, I want to be sent for the deep six.
My small contribution.

During the carnage of the first world war, the poet Wilfred Owen revisited the biblical story in which God tests Abraham by commanding the sacrifice of Isaac, his son. In Genesis, Abraham dutifully prepares the lad for slaughter before God relents and tells him to offer a ram instead.

Owen’s bitter poem rewrites the ending:

But the old man would not so, but slew his son,
And half the seed of Europe, one by one.

The parable illustrates global warming just as well as war – except, with CO2 levels higher than at any other time in human history, it’s a planet rather than a continent now under the knife.

That’s what makes the climate strike so fitting: an international rebellion led by the young against generations of betrayal. We know that, as far back as the late 50s, researchers for the oil industry understood the effects of carbon on the atmosphere but did nothing about it.

so 300,000 people marched/protested/went on strike for "climate change" in Australia, lets put that into perspective, its just over 1.2% of the population. not a lot when you look at it like that. the scary thing is, that in the next 5-10 years, a lot of these brainwashed kids will be voting, and who will they vote for? unless we can educate them to think for themselves and not follow the sheeple, they will be voting for the likes of the greens, animal justice, and other rabid off the wall parties. listening to these kids talk, I am reminded of the soviet era young socialist groups, mao's read guards, and the hitler youth, so focussed and sure that they know best, and any dissent is ignored or castigated. I fear for my country if zealots like these ever gain power.

[Doc Vernon]

Well said Mr Hardy.
As said before the Climate is still the same as many Years ago I personally don't see much although have had a bad Winter but that's happened before!
Cheers

May have a bad Summer this Year too ???

I have a very good friend here in Melbourne who worked et the Met office for almost 40 years finishing as a senior member.
As he told me they hold records going back to the very early days of the state of Victoria showing weather patterns, events and other weather related matters.
He was in contact with other similar offices around the nation.

As far as he is aware at no time have any scientists here every asked for any details regarding past history of weather.

Yet the same scientists are the ones frightening the life out of the younger generation with their claims.
It was put by an American scientist a few weeks back,

"The information being put out by the various bodies claiming climate changes are basing their claims on computer generated probabilities based on current situations. You must take into consideration past events and scenarios to get the full picture, this is not occurring'.

As to warming, here is a scenario which has occurred in the past.

In the early 80's here in Melbourne we regularly had summer days well into the 40's, often two or three on the trot.
By the early 90's despite the fact we spent much of it in drought we had no such days until 1999.
Then we had 5 days on the trot in March of 40 plus.

Since then we have had only three days in total of over 40.

That is weather patterns not climate.

Take the politics and the almighty dollar out of the equation and what is left...………………...very little.

As the chief UN spokesman said, 'Using some of the terms, currently in use regarding this matter, will no doubt create a feeling of despair amongst many, a feeling not warranted, causing them to take drastic uncalled for actions.
