Climate Change

#20... All the media accompanying the same so as to groom them prepatory to being interviewed, all the government people with their aides and assistants to the aides. The fiddling on expenses. All for what, could all be done by e-mail. Or do they want to see the fashion accessorys up closer, and compare notes on what they are able to fiddle on their various jaunts. The costs of having such useless meetings would keep a small city going for a couple of years, or pay for a couple of new small warships. Money is immaterial to any politician until it comes to using their own, and have no qualms about giving the taxpayers money away on the excuse of kindly benevolence. I have conducted meetings with a counterpart a few thousand miles away by phone and screen, he was a foreigner and we had to have interpreters present, I see no disadvantage to the same set up on a much larger scale, perhaps it might be too hard for the floor managers who at the moment have trouble on running the average small TV studio.

I don't know the names of these cowboys who go to these meetings in the name of global warming, however I would place a bet that if you trace them back, whose offspring they are etc, it would prove to be jobs from the same little club. This country is as corrupt as many we condem. Kt

Just watching the flooding in Cumbria they are getting it realy bad there.There was a house with a for sale notice outside it was said they had a prospective buyer who had now pulled out,the chance of selling that property in future I imagine is nil.

If water can get away there will be No floods.
BUT as all the little ports at the mouths of rivers around the country close down, the Dredging stops, Sand bars build up, the rivers silt up, backing up the rivers when heavy rain comes. the rivers then overflow the banks and a flood results.
Fleetwood at the mouth of the River Wyre was dredged everyday by a big Dutch dredger to keep the channel open for the RO-RO Ferries. Fleetwood was closed down as a port and dredging was stopped a couple or so years ago, The River Wyre starts up in the Cumbrian Hills. so the river water is not going out as fast as it used to do, the result is flooding inland.
The Jubilee Dock at the back of my house used to be full of water at low tide, and full of Fishing vessels Big ships used to moor where the house is on the Quayside, as it was a breakers yard.. the European Union stopped fishing so the dredging stopped and now it is dry at half tide, all silting up.
It is not rocket science, the Idiots in power just say it is proof of Climate Change.
Put a cork in a bottle the water does not escape.
So start dredging all the little seaports whether they are open or not, keep the rivers dredged and open and No More Floods.
BUT Why should they, it costs money, let the Insurance Companies pay out and the public to pay the increased premiums. The Authorities now have it easy.

[Jim Brady]

People living in houses with a history of flooding will never get insurance against flood damage again Brian unless they pay a sky high premium.Some of the areas of Cumbria have been flooded before,attempts,for what they were worth were made to stop further flooding as in the case where the house for sale was flooded defences were made there but were overwhelmed.

Having attended many many flooding calls over the years, and to see peoples homes destroyed is very sad, you see people blocking up their doors, and air bricks round the house, but what many forget is the the main drainage, as soon as the flood water reaches the height of the toilet pan, in comes all the raw sewerage, not at all nice, and as you say Jim, no insurance cover and a house you cannot sell, KT

A letter in todays papers Letter Page Titled "How did the Ice Age end"." First let me say that I favour a substantial reduction of polluting gases and smoke that go into earths Atmosphere.
Now will someone answer the following.
Approximately 12,000 years ago the Earth was approaching the end of the Ice Age.
Then the climate changed gradually until we came out of the ice age into a Temperate Climate.
The only way this could happen would be if the climate changed and/or the globe warmed. This was many thousands of years before industrialization and population expansion. How did the Earth go from an Ice Age to a Temperate Climate back then if there was no global warming and no Climate Change. " Name supplied. Although his 12000 years is probably wrong, it shows that others are questioning the authenticity of the claims made and is not only the old uns on here that have these thoughts. Cheers JS

Am still waiting for all the money flooding in for aid to the stricken on the loss of their homes, you know the ones that stand with their hand out in other countries waiting when they suffer a calamity. Maybe Cameron should cancel some of his handouts to other countries this year and look after his own, after all a large amount of it, is their own money in any case. Cheers JS

Chief scientist retired here couple of years ago and wrote an article in the paper. He went on to say the figures he had given the gov were so extreme they could just never happen, but as he said they were the ones the gov wanted to use.
The latest convention in Paris said we need to keep global warming to 2 degrees. It is claimed that since the beginning of the industrial revolution, around 1750, the world had warmed as a result of man. To some extent there is truth in this, the global population then was about 1 billion with many countries such as Oz still yet to be populated by western man. World population is now close to 8 billion with a similar increase in live stock. All mammals produce Co2 and Methane, Methane is also produced by all decomposing matter.
The volcanic explosion in Ice Land put more crap into the atmosphere than man can in a decade, according to scientists.
One final point, the 30,000 global scientists who claim global warming is occurring are either acedemic ones or gov employed ones. There is another group of non gov who say it is not real. It is claimed NASSA has detected changes in temp from space and say they ae worse that at the beginning of 20th century. Yet they have only been taking readings this way since late 70's. In my mind most of this is political rather than scientific.

Watched that program the other night about the Gorillas and their plight, as struggling to maintain their existence. The poor old various breeds of Dinosaurs and other reptiles, fish and birds didn't have the advantage of such benefactors to try and save them. Eventually mankind will destroy itself, it will not be a recognizable world by then. Hope they don't do away with the natural way of fertilisation, although may be coming fast with all these same sex marriages. Another wise saying make sun while the sun shines, through the smog.
