The Great Global Warming Swindle

[zathras]

Groover, if you really think we have to worry about Global warming (or more precisely Human caused Global warming).

Why is it no climate model based on Co2 emissions accurately predicts current temperatures. The only model to be accurate uses solar activity?

Good point.

Has the sun got a knob so we can turn it down a bit?

...well a giant mirror put into space has been proposed to reflect the sunlight back, but I sort of wonder whether this may cause a positive feedback loop that might blow the sun up.

Why don't we reflect it to Mars instead? That will warm the place up a bit, and make it more welcoming for colonists, etc.

Listen guys, just because someone says it in a TV show, doesnt mean its true

Excellent post, Groover!

I think he's an anti-advancement, anti-development, just anti for the sake of being anti closet pinko.

I hope this is a joke, what exactly is advanced about the internal combustion engine? currently in its 3rd century!

I installed A/C recently - its quite expensive and I really hope I haven't wasted my money...

Channel 4 9pm Thurs, I won't be here, but it should make a change from the BBC bs.

Did you know that the word "gullible" isn't the dictionary?
Perhaps you should leave the serious thinking to the scientifically literate, eh, luv?

I think its way to early to close the door on the global warming debate.
Yes, the earth is getting warmer but as far as how much has been human influenced... Will have a look at the evidence provided in the programme. I'm not one for tolerating crack pot theorists (see latest 9/11 thread), so I will be watching it with a sceptical eye.

However we are definitely still fecking the environment up in a lot of other way too numerous to mention!
