Global Warming costs mounting up

[Old Greg]

That the small variations over a relatively short period in climate terms are driven mostly by natural variations, not human activity.

So taxing the tulipe out of energy usage only makes everyones std of living lower and makes feck all difference to temperature, sea levels, distruptive weather events etc, and only serves to buy Al Gore and even bigger mansion.

I'm always suspicious of people who are unable or unwilling to demonstrate an understanding of the alternate view to their position.

Wow, nice pad. You gotta admire that, the lizard did good.

I think you should be doing that.

The alternate view is that the temperature will rise 4 degrees by the end of the century, because of rising CO2 levels

Dream on. The way the Sun is going, now looking increasingly more like the Maunder Minimum.

Which means....a huge drop in temperatures

That's just the conclusion (or rather on of the outcomes within a range) - isn't there any more to in than that?

As long as it really does explain the alternate view and isn't just a book by a geologist rubbishing the alternate view, I'll have a look.

But the real interesting question is how are you going to explain the rapid cooling from 2010 onwards.



I'm looking forward to that one.

Lets peer into history to see what the scientists were saying in 1982:
