Maths and climate change (Here, here village idiots)

.. It ain't on average getting any warmer. It's getting colder.

That's what you'd expect, for a while, if the polar ice is melting. Imagine standing outside an open walk-in freezer when the power has been turned off - It still feels chilly and damp for a long time, perhaps colder than it would have been outside otherwise, but only until all the ice has gone...

Edit: IMHO these rainy cold summers we've had recently are caused, directly or otherwise, by melting arctic ice caps.

1st rate science - have you contacted the BBC for an interview?

Anyone remember the Fox's Glazier Mints advert, the one with a polar bear sat on a Glacier mint? Little did we know it was a short natural history documentary.

No no you've got it all wrong. The ice cap isn't melting, so says the Telegraph:

Hang on I've got that wrong - the Telegraph says it is melting.
But then they usually report that Global warming doesn't exist.

So why is the ice cap melting if temperatures aren't going up?

Real slow day in the office today.

As he is a scientist he must be right. He even uses real science and maths, references, equations, etc.

Sounds like a kook theory if he's proposing this is an imminent danger, but one day it's moreorless exactly what will happen to the Earth, just as the same happened to Venus.

The average energy radiated by the Sun increases by about 1% every 100 million years, due roughly to a spherical combustion zone slowly working its way to the surface.

About 1000 million years from now, without artificial intervention (such as nudging the Earth into an orbit further from the Sun) the extra heat will be sufficient to evaporate the oceans and start a runaway greenhouse effect.

Once the oceans have dried up, the continental plates will have no luibrication and over a few more million years will seize up and lock solid. Once that happens, with no nuclear decay heat being released from the Earth's interior at tectonic plate margins, this heat will build up and up until it breaks forth in huge lava flows that will cover the entire surface of the Earth.

Not exactly exploding, but enough to destroy all life, and exactly what happens on Venus every couple of hundred million years (or has done - not sure if it still does).

At last you start to make sense. And to make it even more plausible, you arrived at that conclusion without the aid of flawed computer modelling techniques. Well done SG. A breakthrough at last, now try and build upon it.

I see what you did there. But so could a 2 year old. Which explains much about you

I did it for precisely that reason. Didn't want to pitch it at a level beyond your meagre grasp.
Now tell us again, just why are other planets in our solar system also experiencing "Global Warming..........ooops I mean Climate Change" when there seems to be a real paucity of flatulent dinosaurs driving SUVs underpinning the whole phenomenon?
