Friday afternoon science :-(

[ace00]

Oh shut it you absolute twunt.
You wouldn't know what science was if it reared up and bit you on your pimply backside.

Aaaah - abuse.

You should relax, it's nearly the weekend.

abs( -twunt ) == twunt

wow, is that maths ?

what do you teach, o Gorny one ?

[DaveB]

Aaaah - self abuse.

Time to relax, it's nearly the weekend.

Don't forget the cleenex.

So are you pleased with how this thread turned out?

[ace00]

I never forget the cleenex.

Good for you, think it's Kleenex though.

I think you've let yourselves really. I'm just trying to raise the level a little bit, I am very dissapointed. I want you all to go home and have a long, hard look at where you're going, I expect a 200 word essay on Monday. Not from sasguru though, he's special and can just bring a nice drawing in crayon.

Little bit of science (with an admitted agenda) for a Friday avo - no sleeping at the back there!

UK temperature from 1650:

Bit of info on little ice age:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_ice_age

Put the 2 together, do the math and you see a regularizing climate following a cool period. You also see why AGW proponents like to date from 1850.

Interestingly, if you read what the scientists who published that graph have to say, they completely disagree with your interpretation.

E.g. "Increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to human activities are most likely the underlying cause of warming in the 20th century." - http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/info/warming/

Furthermore, the Wikipedia article you link to also states that: "Some global warming critics believe that Earth's climate is still recovering from the Little Ice Age and that human activity is not the decisive factor in present temperature trends, but this idea is not widely accepted."

So even your sources contradict your assertions.

When has that ever stopped the village idiots on CUK?

Could it go any lower?

I know they do. Take a look at the data. Make your own conclusions rather than being spoon-fed by the media. Post them here if you like. Prove me wrong.
