Good to see the majority of intellectuals here can see Man Made Global Warming for the croc it plainly is.

Still a few sad individuals that believe a completely rebukked and now discredited report written by the goverment nearly 10 years ago.

So the real question is "Has the world gone a bit pear shaped?"

yeah , good point.
Anthropogenic Pear-shaped warming, doesn't really have much of a ring about it. Saturn - now thats got a nice ring about it.


Anthropogenic Oblate-Spheroid Warming - no, just doesn't work for me.

I was willing to listen to the evidence, but I have become increasingly sceptical. I now believe that scientists have exploited the situation as a source of grants and governments have jumped on the issue because it is seen being good for their image and an excellent source of revenues.

Oblate spheroid

Ah, so the earth is simulateously flat and spherical.

IGMC...

Heretic! Burn him!

Well according to the Global Warming evangelists that won't be needed soon, it will happen spontaneously.

Have you considered the CO2 footprint of burning heretics?

[TimberWolf]

good point, well made.


I bet the planets not even a globe anyway, more , pear shaped. or something

Oblate spheroid

Needs to be multiple choice poll since there is some truth and carp on all sides IMO.

My stance basically:

• Climate change happens, something is always behind the change and man may be it this time
• The climate would change anyway, one way or another.
• The models are almost certainly carp and could be completely overturned IMO
• It's not great science since little effort goes into disproving/discrediting the theory or models. It shares some similarities to a belief system here.
• There's little or no research done into the real and un-PC causes of and solutions to climate change, i.e. population growth and agriculture
• All economically obtainable oil will be used regardless
• Little research is done into the positive affects of warming climate. All is doom and gloom

I don't see how you can ever get a non-biased answer to a lot of these problems. Research will always favour one side of the argument and the other side will always have a counter argument as to why that research is invalid. Such is the way of the world. Another prime example would be the MMR / Autism scandal. Who can you trust ??

The government funded scientists where the conclusion of the report doesn't even stack up over time.

Is the planet warming due to human activity?

Oh, the planet isn't even warming, so that makes the whole argument of whether the climate is warming due to human activity meaningless....

What the hell does the A in AGW stand for? I've worked out that G & W are Global and Warming.

Anthropogenic Global Warming

Thanks.

Ok what the fark does Anthropogenic mean? Sod that I'll google the bugger
