Penrith just gets hotter every year.

 

If the power goes out this summer a lot of vulnerable people will suffer badly.

 

The Donald buying Greenland would merely speed up the process Smile

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm it's not easy to believe that warming causes cooling - I tried - but I just can't go there.

 

I guess more scientific enquiry will recognise phenomena that have always existed - we just got to notice/discover them.

 

Meanwhile virtually zero warming over 100 years would appear to give lie to the more outrageous claims of discredited "experts" and their child spokespersons.

 

 

Heh Heh Flatearthers never give up - it's a religious experience for them and they have their own crop of false prophets nothing new or surprising there I guess

 

 

You all have a great day - value them mes amis :Hug:  :Hug:  :dance:

We have rising sea levels and rising temperatures Smile

 

One of the doomful prophesies made in the 70's and 80's was the consequences of the hole in the ozone layer

 

A claim backed up by some scientific momma called Margaret Thatcher who became the key player for change.

 

Today it's almost completely re-sealed. So it's not all BS

 

 

For the proof seekers: I take the view the frog in hot water theory will play out but by then it'll be too late.

 

It's a bit like telling an 18 year old that smoking is bad for them Smile

Ozone layer hole - that healed up - good old mother nature.

 

Sea level rising - Oh?

 

Temperature still varying around a static mean OK if that's proof it's pretty pale!



Eye Catching Headlines What Grab Your Fancy - POWERZONE - 19-11-2019

G'day Aloy.

 

I don't think even the most ardent climate skeptic supports this static mean theory you speak of.

 

Not even Andrew Bolt would agree with that.

 

The debate is about the cause - not the event.

 

If you want proof have a look at all those graphs you've posted.

 

They all show a rising trend of temperatures Smile

Just bcause you don't think is not any kind of refutal of what someone says!


The only direct measure that appears to have any support from alarmists is the emission of CO2.


0.38% of atmospheric air is CO2 - easly verified!


FBD!

That's a bit cheap mate, but OK... You don't have to think to state the bleeding obvious...

 

Here's something else easily verified > the world has been getting hotter ever since the cold war ended Smile

 

Free BD that!



Eye Catching Headlines What Grab Your Fancy - Aloysius - 20-11-2019

I guess we can cherry pick data but the whole debate is so mired in political mistruths it becomes difficult to form reasoned opinion.

Some alarmist power cells blanket ban any opinion but their own - so much for science and civil discourse.


Actual real climate scientists have varying views but the alarmists believe that their view is the only view.

In effect they are assuming godlike postures - how fitting since their alarmism is a matter of faith in models and predictions, a ridgy didge bonafide religion.


Of course they have the right to proselytise their faith but they don't have the right to deny others the same right.

But they do and fine fighters for democracy stand silently by.


Eye Catching Headlines What Grab Your Fancy - Aloysius - 20-11-2019

0.038% CO2!

Yeah well.... that's a two way street isn't it ? My previous post started with "I think" so as to say it was my opinion.

 

Always have done that with climate change discussions. But... sometimes the responses ( such as FBD ) devalue the reply to little more of a cursory glance rather than intellectual debate. Not worth the effort on this subject.

 

0.038% CO2 means nothing to me. That's just a sexy stat.

 

What matters to me is the increasing level of personal discomfort as the hot and humid weather seems to start earlier and finish later year after year - especially at night. Western Sydney gets it up the ar
se every time. Last year, April was freaking hot here. This year, even parts of May were hot. Three summers and one winter... just crap.

 

 

 

Luckily I have that subterranean man cave where the temps stay between 19 - 25 all year.

 

11 meters underground and free power - good enuff for me Smile

 

 

 

None of this stuff matters... the ultimate winner will be the planet when the humans go into self induced extinction.

 

After that... Hello.

Eye Catching Headlines What Grab Your Fancy - POWERZONE - 21-11-2019

Nice one Aloy

 

 

In 2009, Plimer was cited by Tony Abbott, in dismissing the IPCC and its findings:

 


I think that in response to the IPCC alarmist – in inverted commas – view, there've been quite a lot of other reputable scientific voices. Now not everyone agrees with Ian Plimer's position, but he is a highly credible scientist and he has written what seems like a very well-argued book refuting most of the claims of the climate catastrophists.

— Tony Abbott, The Sydney Morning Herald

 

 
By 2011, Abbott had modified his position and stated that climate change is real and humanity makes a contribution to it.
 

----------------------------

 

"From 2005 to 2015, Soon had received over $1.2 million from the fossil fuel industry, while failing to disclose that conflict of interest in most of his work"

 

Riiiight !

 

 

 

By declaring "the science is not in" you're giving equal weight to both sides, yeah ?


 

Obviously there are significant scientists of some standing with contrary views to the above

 

Wanna upload their contributions too ?

 

That would be a help - balanced views and all that Smile

Heres another Scientist to look at:

<b>Richard Siegmund Lindzen</b> (born February 8, 1940) is an American

<sup>No need for me to bring in the alarmists the whole PC system is doing that for us - you know the guys who tell us the science is in</sup>

<sup>Personally I would hesitate to use Tony Abbott as a scientific expert. </sup>
