what we need is a big volcanic eruption that will sort out global warming

Jawz, it is a tragic - and almost unbelievable fact- that many people still don't believe in the human contribution to global warming.
The people who see it purely as a vehicle to collect more tax are the most worrying.Comment

The media and politicians are only going on advice given by experts which I hazard a guess you are not, yes warming/cooling is cyclic but there is strong evidence that mankind has accelerated the process.Originally posted by PaddyScience isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

I'm not an expert and, I suspect, neither are you.Originally posted by gingerjedi
You line up your scientific experts and I'll line up mine.
Then we can toss a coin.
Then we can give El Gordo what is left of our money as a green tax.Boom boom boom boom

Climate change is a fact, the causes are up for debate but to simply say it's not been proved isn't enough these days.
The balance of evidence and weight of scientific opinion believes otherwise, and even the Bush administration is starting to come round to thinking that maybe there is a link between the accelerated rate of change and human activities.
I honestly wish this issue could be divorced from the perception that's it belongs to tree hugging lettuce munchers and actually judged on what we know about it now and what the possible outcomes could be. If the balance of opinion is wrong then what have we lost compared to if we're right and do nothing. I know which one I personally find more frightning and the fear it's one we'll be judged on harshly in generations to come.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

That’s the bit people don't like, it pisses me off that El Gordo collects green taxes without pumping them back into green solutions but that’s the politicians fault it doesn’t disprove global warming.Originally posted by BurdockScience isn't about why, it's about why not.

The Earth is colder than it was 500 years ago and much colder that it was 2000 years. agoOriginally posted by gingerjedi"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Start using CFCs again. They block the sun and cool down the planet....God made men. Sam Colt made them equal.Comment

I don’t know if you are serious but many people including some politicians don’t know the difference between CFCs and CO2. CFS allegedly destroy the Ozone layer that filter UV; nothing to do with global warming. Also the Hole in the Ozone layer is closing up, yet another natural fluctuation.Originally posted by Euro-commuter"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
