Maths and climate change (Here, here village idiots)

[OwlHoot]

Now tell us again, just why are other planets in our solar system also experiencing "Global Warming..........ooops I mean Climate Change"

Where's the evidence for that?

[ace00]

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.

WTF!? Your take on science is quite unique. You (and sasg) are our special friends. Here's a special headline for you guys (and Tay and Diver):

As the weather gets hotter so the sheep are getting smaller

Observations of Soay sheep on Hirta island have shown that the warmer temperatures associated with global warming allow more smaller animals to survive the winter. And with greater numbers of smaller sheep living through the cold months, the average size of the animals falls.

God Almighty!

I don't know whether this denial of the bleeding obvious is just to wind up SG or what.

Surely the congregation can't be that thick that they imagine the melting of polar ice to unprecedented (as long as records have been kept) levels does not indicate that the climate is warming.

What is it with you guys? Being a dumb **** for the sake of it?

They can't help their poor genetic endowment.

OK, seriousley...
1. I disagree with the premise. If indeed Polar ice extent is unprecedented in the period of record keeping, perhaps you could supply a time period and evidence of such (I suspect you mean since 1979).
2. I agree polar ice is low, right now. It is exceeded by the increase in Antartic ice cover. Why don't you explain that?

1. Well the fact that ships can go round it now when they couldn't before (it's become an island) is significant
2. Really? The Antarctic is melting too, just not as fast

Both those points are entirely factually incorrect.

And for that reason, I'm out.

One awkward question you can ask, when you’re forking out those extra taxes for climate change, is “Why is east Antarctica getting colder?” It makes no sense at all if carbon dioxide is driving global warming. While you’re at it, you might inquire whether Gordon Brown will give you a refund if it’s confirmed that global warming has stopped. The best measurements of global air temperatures come from American weather satellites, and they show wobbles but no overall change since 1999.
Perhaps us GW deniers just have more balanced views and are not so easily spoonfed the party line that seems to afflict those with less enquiring minds?

Great argument. Let's make an unsupported assertion and bold it for extra emphasis.
Equivalent to sticking your hand in your ears and going "lalalala"

But then you are a meta-cretin so I expect nothing less.

Don't make me laugh
Is that why most of your post is copied verbatim from here?

Talk about spoonfeeding - you don't even have the intellectual capacity to try and reframe it in your own words.

It's all explained here, but I doubt you'll understand it :
