i am reliably informed that DimPrawn enjoys "touching the nut", once ate a spunky Hob Nob biscuit "for a bet" after a 5-a-side game and is secretly considering voting for Brian Paddick in the upcoming London mayoral elections. while rifling through his bins i found copies of Illustrated Gay Builder Monthly and New Internationalist.Originally posted by BolshieBastardYou're fulfilling a business role not partaking in a rock and roll concert. -
Global warming experiment for beginners
Okay, inspired by Marina's post on heat capacity (surely not a girl?), anyone can do this experiment at home and disprove global warming for themselves.
Equipment:Water
Saucepan
Ice cubes
Thermometer
Bunsen burner
Method:Water and ice placed into a saucepan. A thermometer shows the initial temperature of the water to be 2 degrees centigrade. Heat is applied to the saucepan and is continued to be applied until I got bored and went home.
Conclusion:No increase in temperature of the water was detected during the experiment. Rather, despite continued and vigorous heating, the temperature dropped and maintained zero degrees centigrade. This is not fully explained but it is concluded that a saucepan warming theory is complete and utter bulltulip. HTHComment

I think you're forgetting about those big bits of ice at the top and bottom of the world melting and increasing the sea level and drowning billions of people...Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostWouldn't a hotter planet cause more water to evaporate from the seas causing more clouds and rain and so cool the planet?
...or something like that!Older and ...well, just older!!Comment
