Reply to: computer climate modelling like ancient astrology

All a moot point anyway. The world is overpopulated and will balance itself out in time, whatever we do. Not that I agree with the Gaia theory as I have said before.

If climate change is going the way scientists say it is then the population will be reduced by natural effects such as flooding etc etc. Nature doesn't care about countries or class or colour or anything like that, it will follow it's own cycle...

Global warming is woman-made.

How the hell can it be man-made?

If global warming is true then it's discrimination to call it man made. It's just as much, arguably even more woman-made, considering that women are 50% of the world's population and generally much more materially acquisitive than men. They also use more hairspray. Mens' barbecues and cars are nothing compared to the hairsprays, the carbon footprint of womens' shoes and the ridiculous desire of women to go off an lie on the beach in far away destinations when most men would be just as happy spending their holiday in the pub.

scientific merit.

The only agenda of science is the pursuit of the truth.

Massiv funding, a new facility with state of the art supercomputer paid for by Carbon credits, better pay for the scientists so they can buy a big house and pull an attractive bird.

I've been saying it for years - this whole global warming debate is a conspiracy designed by corporate shills to instill fear in the masses and to take money from their pockets. IF Co2 levels have been increasing over the last 10 years or so I pretty sure it's from all the vacuous tulip that comes from the mouths of the eco-mentallists et al.

I'm with the Japs on this. Show me hard categorical evidence and I'll ditch the 4x4 - till then, it's my planet.

Want to reduce CO2? Simple - stop chopping down forests.
Want to reduce CO2? Simple - stop polluting the oceans.
Want to reduce CO2? Ahem!!! Stop the Indians and Chinese from breeding.

But those aren't popular solutions are they.

What about...
Want to reduce CO2? Simple - stop fitting catalytic converters to cars!

.......
The overwhelming evidence still points to man-made global warming, not just from climate models, but from a large range of disparate scientific fields.

What evidence? If you actually read the report it demolishes each tenet of AGW 1 by 1, with evidence.

Typical media reporting. They have gathered evidence for a theory. That's not the same as proof.

[sasguru]

You are all missing the point.

Science welcomes evidence of any kind. It is only personalities that get in the way.

If someone has discovered problems in the current climate models then great. Publish the results in a peer reviewed journal, and lets debate it based on its scientific merit.

The only agenda of science is the pursuit of the truth.

I'm not sure what to make of the report.

After months, if not years, of being told that I am responsible for climate change, and starting to make a change in some of my lifestyle choices, I am now confronted with the notion that it's all bunkum ?

That's a great report it really demolishes AGW. There's no come back from that, not any based on science anyway.

Chuckle. Another report, another viewpoint. I don't think the nail is quite in the coffin yet.

Come on sasguru et al - they say it takes a big man to admit he's wrong.

Actually, there is more scientific evidence to back astrology than there is global warming.

i.e. the time of year you were born, the forename you were given, etc. etc. does have a profound effect on your life.

Compare and contrast just your own immediate prejudices of a Chantelle born in September with a Jane born in March...
