So bored of all this all the theories have been proved, then disproved, then proved again then disproved.......... oh you get the point

So to look at it another way - is the planet here for the benefit of humans or are humans here for the beneif tof the planet.

If the human race is to escape extinction by the large asteriod for example we need to get off this planet and colonise others.

In order to colonise other planets it may well mean we use all of the resources of this planet and possibly leave it uninhabitable (all though I doubt that humans could ever do that completely)

So to continue my logical argument it would seem that the greenies who want us to go back to living in caves and await the cataclysmic extinction event from the sky are actually dooming the human race to extinction and therefore should be ignored - nay actively routed out and burned at the stake.

So there you have it
Drink Beer
Smoke Tabs
Shg Birds
Drive Big Cars
Eat dead animals

It will save the human race.


Or something.....

Bit fick I is but...

Antartica temps

Antarctic temperatures between ice ages '6C warmer than today'
Temperatures in Antarctica during warm periods between ice ages soared to up to 6C warmer than the present day, a study has shown.

so no fossil fuels were been burnt by us 'umans between the ice ages
& Greenland was actually as its name suggests 'green' when the Vikings colonised in 10 century BC

where's the problem if we are actually in a repeat inter ice-age period?

"The global trends we are on with CO2 emissions from fossil fuels suggest that we're heading towards 6C of global warming," said Professor Corinne Le Quere of the University of East Anglia, who led the study

She was on Radio 4 yesterday afternoon to explain herself

Look, he can't save the world from everything. He's just an ordinary superhero, not God.

Give the man a break (fractured skull might be more appropriate)

I've changed my mind about global warming there's a deer species that can't cope with climate change and has been wiped out

I am not going to fall for that one.
My happiness is determined by how many nice holidays I have, and how much of this dreary weather I can avoid.
In other words, it is a great big thermo-nuclear object in the sky that has by far the major influence, not the pitiful causes that we find in your model.

hang on a minute......

S.A.D.

Don't know - why don't you experiment.
Keep a diary and post it on here - I'm sure everyone will read it avidly.

what about someone who is a non-smoker and who drinks a lot, but then has one pint less, say on a wednesday.
does that tip them over to being Happy-neutral on monday and tuesday, then a little bit happy on wednesday ?

Yes, clearly.

Drinking and smoking make you happy?
Actually the opposite is true.
