Global Warming? are humans to blame?

I would say that those who commit such acts are not human at all. If they can not be convinced to change their ways, unfortunately the only other option is to hunt them down to cage them, or kill them if they can not be caged.

building "schools" for these barbarians usually does little good, they have been brainwashed from childhood that they can only receive their reward by killing innocents. This I think is far less than than human, lower than animals even.

 

There a bit slow at catching up. Ever an optomist,-- it is only 300 years ago that the Christians were ducking witches and burning suspect religious minorities,---- Sound familiar.

My primary school was called Christ church, my secondary school was Holy Trinity, I had to eat fish on a friday and had to attend holy communion on Wed. I had more religious education than maths and had to go to Sunday school. My Father is an athiest. Is that considered radical, extreme or fundimental education? England in the 60's

The protistants and catholics are still bombing each other in Ireland.

They are bombing their own shopping centers?????

 

No matter how many misguided idiots try to make themselves deserving of a fiery Hell, some people still get it:

"... there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

 

Your quote (wind in the Willows) is PRECISELY correct Charlie, In sentiment and what we should be doing.... Brisbane to Gladstone overnight race is well on the way but doubt I will see as twill be dusk before the main bunch arrive, where I can see them (or I will be too pissed to care)...

 

Missy Lee, Charlie (and the 'rat) said 'messing' your talking about bouncing and bashing - I'd hardly call that fun!! Exciting yes but fun - naw! And "Fun is messin" - or am I getting to awld?

 

Maybe!!, and just a tad confusing, infact I rarely know what you are talking about

 

I was assuming "awid" was that Gaelic word lost in time at the "Stone Henge" of life, meaning "Oh Great and Noble Wise One, How knowledgeable you are"...

 

You could be right Mas, Im glad its not just me.

 

I vote B.

I have read quite a bit and the "Yes the climate is changing but man is a minimal factor in the equation" camp (mouthful!) are making the most sense. One of the greatest possible ironies here is that the current global warming is typical of what is expected before the earth heads into another ice age. In very short hand the globe warms this has the effect of shutting down the ocean heat transport currents and that leads us into a very cold dry "ice age" era. Its due, we are toward the end of what is a typical interglacial period. From what I read there is debate about just how long the earth takes to move into "ice age", it was once thought to be 1000's of years now some lines of thought have it at decades to a hundred years or so. Much, much faster than thought before.

 

I blame the invention of the bow and arrow myself! I mean, it ain't natural to let go of the weapon is it! Got to upset the balance somewhere! Stands to reason really!!

 

Meanz , are you refering to the National Geographic documentary broadcast recently. I saw that too same information that you are refering too.

Trouble is I was confused, one minute there is Co2 and global warming,---lieraly next sentence we are plunging into an ice age.

I dont get it ,--but then I never do.

 

Yeah I saw that (its was a bit contradictory!) but not really referring to it really I am just putting together all the stuff that I have read. Heard a guy being interviewed the other day who follows the issue very closely. He was saying more and more scientific papers are coming out on the side of "not man made" and he predicted a turn around on the issue over the next few years. Really if the result of the warming is the ocean heat transports shutting down we have bigger issues to deal with, like just how cold we get and just how soon, given peak oil how do we deal with a radically colder climate. I am hoping its a change that occurs in the 100's of years but no one seems sure at all about that, like I said one thoery has it happening in decades.

 

The news can't predict what the weather is going to be like 14 hours from now, let alone 24 years.

Its so bloody hot here ,I can tell you, Im not joking it is too much for me . Im supposed to do some maintenance on stuff but I just get burned, yeah yeah I put the stuff on but I dont like rubbing greasy stuff all over my face.

I dont know how the missus does it, she grease up with some skin softener all over before she goes to bed, she wont let me do it for her. I think its man repellant. Seems to do the trick.

Anyway its bloody hot, oh yes,-- and I caught a fish this afternoon!!, well I say caught it ,it just jumped out of the sea at my feet. I drowned it in a bucket of water.

 

Time for realism.

It was snowing here in London this morning. It's snowing again now at 17-25. What the hell is going on? You will notice that it's no longer called global warming. The weasel words are climate change, so that if hell freezes over, Al Gore will be able to snarl, "I told you so."

Believe what you want to believe, I know I am never wrong, except on the odd occasions when I am not right.
