What Do We Think About Climate Change

[Meanz Beanz]

You running for PM.... M?

[masalai]

PM? (Prostitute Male?) not that I know... I am ever hopeful of a bite from our friends over the ditch - obviously, by now reckon I am harmless, armless, or not worth the effort...

But if I am PM and you are asking if I would like to be the male version "M" for James Bond and to play (test) some of bonds toys (that go bang?) - could be fun - sort of - spouse would kill me if the toys were of the female variety....

Anyway I will give Kevin a bit more time, as he is not a labour hack and may still be untainted with the short-sighted disease infecting too many politicians on every side.... me - couldn't handle the pace nor dedication???? - I am a retread remember - cant afford to retire....

[Meanz Beanz]

Kevin, yes we will see.... he is a bit slick with the celebrities so far, budget should be a whole lot of fun

[masalai]

Anyhow, on topic, let the climate do as it will, Just a bit more and reliable rain would be nice for a change.

Brian,

Chaiten's dust is high and may affect southern hemisphere weather. You may well get your wish this year. http://www.icecap.us/

The news is reporting a relatively large and long lasting volcanic eruption in Chile. According to the AP, the Chaiten volcano spewed lava and blasted ash 20 miles (105,000 feet) into the sky on Tuesday the largest ruption to date since the volcano came back to life last week, prompting a total evacuation of the provincial capital and other settlements. The volcano’s long lasting eruption has sent a thick column of ash into the stratosphere, streaming across Patagonia to the Atlantic.

Dear Dr. Pachauri and others associated with IPCC

Where the hell is your reply to the letter by Hans Schreuder (et al) sent to your HQ on 14th April 2008. See copy below.

Quite simply, the question you have to answer is why have global temperatures have fallen since they peaked in 1998, whilst CO2 has risen by 20 ppm in the same period?

If global temperatures continue to fall, do you think the planet could be headed back towards another Minimum? Here's a reminder.

As it happens, We all understand your difficulties in putting pen to paper. You all now see the writing on the wall and are unable to work out what to do next. Let us assist. Just tender your resignations and leave now. The party is over.

Yours truly,

The intelligent denizens of Earth.

[safewalrus]

Unfortunately the one we've all had to put up with the mindless coward! one wonders if it's the same guy who gets a kick out of being a 'wanker' yes you numpty profanity to discribe you! If you want to take away points then at least have the guts to say who you are -you won't of course because your like that - chickens are braver than you!! Pity Jeff can't find a way to give the ID of anyone who posts points - good or bad!! But I guess the system is there to be used, i just can't stand cowards is all! It's not as if we are going to come round your place and punch your lights out!! In most cases we don't know who you are or where you live - but the nickname would be nice!! Would also prove that you stand by what you say!!
