I did my first degree in environmental science & ISTR being told that the "Greenhouse Effect", as it was known back then, could not be explained statistically until the average global temperture had changed by +/- 0.5 degrees from some historical mean temperature. According to the lecturer at the time (late 80s) this increase of 0.5% wasn't going to happen for another 50 years or so. Of course, even if that increase has already occurred, it doesn't mean that it's down to the activities of humans but just that it is probably due to something other than randomness. I was crap at statistics....Comment

Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostThere was brave man on question time last night, he dared to suggest that the argument behind AGW was possibly wrong?
The audience seethed in disgust, one red faced woman said "how can you say that, what about Cockermouth?" They cheered.
A journo said it was a scam, a comedian said he'd been to see the polar bears and was most definitely not a scam, a politician said he didn't know.
Today world leader will meet to discuss how they can stiff us for more cash and keep this farce going.
I'm pretty much with David Davis on this one the debate on man's influence should still be open, even if the evidence is pretty compeling.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostThe climate is warming, whether man is influencing it is the debate. I do agree that the issue is being hyjacked for other puposes but She confused the issue by denying the planet was warming and hence made herself appear stupid.
What do you and Brigstock know that the climatologists don't, and don't you think you should share your information with the experts?Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

I was very impressed with Brigstocke. I've only ever seen him wearing a yellow courdroy suit telling gags. He wiped the floor with most of the panel.Comment

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostWhat nobody put to Marcus Brigstock, is if what he was saying was true and that the planet hadn't stopped warming for the last 10 years as has been widly reported, then why did one of the leaked emails say "it's a travesty that we can't explain the lack of warming?".
What do you and Brigstock know that the climatologists don't, and don't you think you should share your information with the experts?
What the media choses to highlight is often irrelevant, they highlight information which backs their agenda and ignore what doesn't. If you're trying to model some sort effect there will always be data that doesn't fit the model perfectly, often scientists can't get their head around that, there may also be factors not taken into consideration.
Overal though; Scientists or journalists, who knows best? My money isn't with the ones who flunked science.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostI believe Cockermouth had higher than average rainfall in a short period of time, but nevertheless building on flood planes and creating efficient drainage systems that push water all at once into rivers must play a huge contributory role too. Its surprising how much water soil and vegetation hold, as anyone who has tried to dry washed lettuce will be able to confirm.
Cockermouth Fellow: We're getting flooded
Timberwolf: That's because you live on a floodplain, dummy
CF: We're getting flooded much more than we used to
T: Yes, because of the flood plain
CF: I think the floodplain was there before the flooding got worse...Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

On one of the BBC blogs they showed the peak year on year rain fall for cockermouth. It was consistanly higher 100 years agoCoffee's for closersComment
