Global Warming - load of bollocks

Subject: Global Warming - load of bollocks Sat Nov 27, 2010 9:26 pm

Throughout history our weather patterns have fluxuated in rough 10,000 year cycles. We are now experiencing two years on the trot of sub zero temperatures. Imo it's a convenient excuse by Governments to freeload themselves ... gourging on the extra revenue whilst fleecing the taxpayer (please don't confuse ths with pollution and the obvious extravagance of certain Western countries who are draining our natural resources).

I hope they don't put more tax on hot chunky soup.

Red, can you tell us when the next hot summer will be! Laughing

Quite possibly in 6 months on our side of the equator. Don't forget, whilst we have some cold weather there are other places where they are slurping in That scummy filthy shite rag ... quaffing alcohol.

The coldness we are experiencing currently has nothing to do with global warming though. These are arctic winds, which explains why the northeast and scotland are getting battered, yet here in Liverpool it is cold but actually quite sunny. Best weather for a few weeks I think! haha. Its amazing to see news broadcasts from Newcastle in knee deep snow, yet Liverpool is sunny.

The global warming debate is one that must be approached sensitively. Actually measuring temperatures is proving to be a very controversial topic and people do tend to compare the temperatures that they experience as evidence for or against. The best evidence for global warming however, are indicator species such as trees and insects such as butterflies. Tree forests are moving northwards at a rate of 100km a decade because they are specialised for specific conditions and their local conditions are no longer suitable. They move north in order to find cooler conditions. Some species of butterfly also have begun scaling mountains in order to find the cooler climate they need. Of course, gradually the butterfly has to go higher and higher on the mountain in order to find its ideal range and the area available to them then becomes reduced, their populations become fragmented and the species eventually becomes extinct. The problem with many environmental debates these days is that the level of expertise needed to understand them is not met by the education and information society is communicating to the general public.

I wonder, is it just possible that we could have a repeat of the winter of 1962-63? Haven't been the same since my left ball froze off.

Always believed global warming - now conveniently called Climate Change - is a load of bollox and carbon tax is a global epic swindle.. the silencing and ridiculing of academia who agree speaks volumes IMO

An epic swindle? If you're talking about taxes, well why shouldn't things that pollute and which are correlated with bad public health have to pay bigger and more tax? Its what we do with smokers and cigarettes and is widely accepted as fair, so why shouldn't the same should be done for environmental damage? Afterall, everyone that is responsible for waste, should pay something for it. That seems rational to me.

There are a lot of environmentalists (and I'm not talking about those that have daft demonstrations or that throw custard pies at people and so on) that make a tremendous difference to local communities for no reward or money and everyone from the community benefits from it. There is research that shows how green environments and wildlife prevent mental illness and depression in humans and how green spaces greatly improve recovery times from surgery and illness etc. I think that in urban areas people forget that humans are also a part of nature and that they remain and will always remain wholly dependent upon it. It is no wonder that people who live in rural areas have a much higher life expectancy and quality of life, even when they don't have access to the wealth of public services that we have in urban areas. While, in some areas of Liverpool, which are some of the worst parts in the country for environment, we have some of the lowest life expectancies in the country by about 10 years. People just talk about poverty these days, which is of course a massive issue but just one of many complementary factors. The environment is one issue that every person can do something about and can have a massive positive effect in transforming communities. This is one thing that I do agree with the tories on. I am glad that the conditions of welfare have things tied in to them like community service and gardening. This is not some demeaning activity, but a very important communal activity which is greatly underappreciated in urban areas. People will help themselves and there communities by taking care of their own patch or helping others with theirs.

It does not surprise me in the least. I think most people feel better when surrounded by nature, I know I do. I love a trip to the Peak District and to look at all the greenery and wildlife is just fantastic. There really is nothing like it.

My mam told me the day I was born in 1947 that it started snowing and it never stopped for 6 weeks.

Wow, what a good memory you have! I don't remember anything my mum said to me on the day I was born!
