What can I say? Panic buttons we do not need yet but, as science fiction authors Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle wrote in their 1977 cult book, Lucifer's Hammer, civilisation is "only three meals removed from savagery". EUReferendum.

I thought this may be of interest? - - http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...section=justin

A leading climate change scientist says there is too much misinformation being spread about the theory. - - Professor Barry Brook from the University of Adelaide says those who deny climate change often have ulterior motives. - - He has published an article calling for scientists to step up and support the research being done in the field. - - Professor Brook says it can take just a few minutes for popular opinion to undermine years of scientific research. - - "Anyone can get up there on a website or on a blog, or even get an opinion piece published in a newspaper that just says a bunch of crackpot ideas that haven't been through any rigorous scrutiny," he said. - -

Oh well, adds fuel to the fire - whichever side you take?

I like the way they always go for the term "climate change" with the inference that it is mans fault. Its not like the other camp is arguing that "climate change" isn't a reality just that mans role in it is minor.

[masalai]

The only worry I have is that I HATE the cold, and therefore will bat for the "warming" camp as wishful thinking...

What is that rain in Sydney again? I was hoping that mini low would head north (not likely) but it went south to piss on Sydney again/still...???

Maybe I should "wish for cold", then in perversity, I would get warm ????

Here Prof. Brook's CV and photo.

Seems to me to be a bit of a clever but quite pompous guy. Could it be that this guy is precisely one of those who have "ulterior motives"?
Who knows....

A presentation from this guy on global warming:

It seem to me somebody is messing up with the data......and what we have read on the links and info at this thread, sounds to me better argumented and sustained.

Cheers.

safey,,,i think it was the invention of the WHEEL that did it,,,man them dinosaurs where gas guzzlers hehe
and 1 of them smart sciencetist i saw on t.v.,,,said,,its not that humans are gonna kill the earth,,,we always have these changes,,,( but like i said before) but,,WE might make it VERY hard to "come back" from the next 1.
Have ya heard about them "fertilizing" plankton fields,,,1 ton of plankton fills up,,and sinks with 10 tons of carbon diox.

[masalai]

the1 that sounds like a very good idea, then all that carbon stuff sinks and lo, - - years later, - - it is extracted for fuel and the cycle continues... That is what I call recycling... and everyone has plenty of fuel to burn to make more CO2 to feed the plankton to make more fuel to........ well you know the rest????

[the1much]

ya they use "iron" and spread it through the field ,,but,,,,warmer oceans kill the plankton,,,,what a damned circle,,,,i think we're all stuck in the middle of a "circle jerk" hehe
