• I am a climate scientist and sadly the point of denial has passed, it is now categorically happening (NT) -- Elfy, Friday, July 11, 11:42:13am (194-120-133-89.fwnetworks.co.uk/194.120.133.89)
  • It absolutely is happening! Genuine question: Is it 'man-made' though? Was looking at a graph the other day, if you look at the history of global temperatures the world is currently much cooler than its average temperature historically... (NT) -- Just curious, Friday, July 11, 01:45:37pm (NoHost/90.213.242.75)
    • Just for clarity, by that I mean the history of the world over the last 500 million years! (NT) -- Just curious, Friday, July 11, 01:47:54pm (NoHost/90.213.242.75)
  • I too am a €limate $cientist. Unfortunately for the deniers the €limate $cience is well and truly $ettled. (NT) -- Al Gorithm., Monday, July 14, 09:24:51am (unn-156-146-62-42.cdn77.com/156.146.62.42)

• There was a literally 3-4 over 30 degrees day per year in London on the average. In 1970 alone, there was no single day in London with temperature higher than 30. Yet, wankers like you will still come with your unfunny agenda here and pretend that climate change is not real, when only this year alone we must have had 15 over 30 days and we're not even in August. (NT) -- Nero, Friday, July 11, 12:53:56pm (NoHost/82.132.186.169)
  • in 1976 "alone" there were 18 consecutive days over 30 degrees. Its just called weather. Stop turning this board into The Guardian! (NT) -- Carter, Friday, July 11, 02:01:43pm (NoHost/79.173.173.66)
    • Total (oil company) personnel received warnings of the potential for catastrophic global warming from its products by 1971, became more fully informed of the issue in the 1980s, began promoting doubt regarding the scientific basis for global warming by the late 1980s, and ultimately settled on a position in the late 1990s of publicly accepting climate science while promoting policy delay or policies peripheral to fossil fuel control. (NT) -- Oily Grin, Friday, July 11, 02:21:19pm (92.40.170.199.threembb.co.uk/92.40.170.199)
    • 1976 was the only year in 30-40 years like this. Any other given year is 3-4 per annum on the average. In 1970 was precisely zero days with over 30 throughout entire year. (NT) -- Nero, Friday, July 11, 04:00:05pm (NoHost/82.132.186.147)
      • why you using one year as an example to prove your point. Just as easy to use one year to disprove your point. Its weather, that's what weather does. (NT) -- Carter, Friday, July 11, 05:23:27pm (NoHost/79.173.173.66)
        • Try looking at the patterns over the last 30 years or is that too complicated for you? (NT) -- JoeT, Saturday, July 12, 12:56:23am (cpc96906-walt25-2-0-cust362.13-2.cable.virginm.net/82.13.233.107)
          • Try looking at the patterns over the last 30,000 million years for a better perspective. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Saturday, July 12, 05:46:13pm (NoHost/31.94.12.53)
            • Or 30 million years will do. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Saturday, July 12, 05:48:42pm (NoHost/31.94.12.53)
              • Yes, very good. Humans were not around for 99% of that time so didn't exactly affect us (NT) -- JoeT, Saturday, July 12, 07:48:59pm (cpc96906-walt25-2-0-cust362.13-2.cable.virginm.net/82.13.233.107)
                • That's the point. There have been many climatic changes before humans were around. Only 15000 years ago the Sahara desert was blooming with vegetation and rivers, then there was a sudden change to a desert before those pesky humans arrived. Major climatic changes has always happened. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Saturday, July 12, 11:31:52pm (NoHost/31.94.12.53)
                  • The point is it affects us and our enviornment now. Not doubting climate change happened before we showed up, but we were not around to deal with it. Comprende? (NT) -- JoeT, Sunday, July 13, 12:56:48am (cpc96906-walt25-2-0-cust362.13-2.cable.virginm.net/82.13.233.107)
                    • No. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Sunday, July 13, 07:41:28am (NoHost/31.94.74.198)
          • Why be so rude when you don't like the debate? (NT) -- Carter, Monday, July 14, 08:51:14am (NoHost/79.173.173.66)

• Oi while you Pommy lot are sweatin' buckets up there, we're down here in Straya freezin' our knackers off! Coldest temps in yonks, records smashed from NSW to WA - frost on the ute, ice on the dunny seat, can't feel me flamin' toes. Even the bloody 'roos are rockin' scarves and beanies!

• Nice to see all the usual suspects giving it large. (NT) -- HemelRog, Friday, July 11, 10:19:21pm (NoHost/31.94.74.26)
  • Isn't it pathetic? (NT) -- GA, Friday, July 11, 11:27:15pm (ool-18b90125.dyn.optonline.net/24.185.1.37)
    • Beyond belief mate.I really fear for my grandchildren. (NT) -- HemelRog, Saturday, July 12, 09:36:09am (NoHost/31.94.74.26)
      • And what of your grandchildren if we were to destroy our economy and quality of life over something that ultimately transpired to be a scientific hoax? Don't get me wrong, I am of the opinion that our Climate can and does change sometimes rapidly, I just don't agree that it has anything to do with human CO2 emissions. It is weird how successive regimes that are usually hell-bent on mitigating problems instead of addressing the underlying cause of a problem think they can prevent nature. (NT) -- MF, Saturday, July 12, 04:51:13pm (82-132-232-66.dab.02.net/82.132.232.66)
        • A hoax.Dear God.HTF would investing in a better future destroy the economy? (NT) -- HemelRog, Saturday, July 12, 05:35:09pm (NoHost/31.94.74.27)
          • I'll give you a hint - Britain already has the most expensive energy bills in the world despite a massive expansion in "green" energy. (NT) -- MF, Saturday, July 12, 06:09:25pm (32.246.189.80.dyn.plus.net/80.189.246.32)
            • Other countries are far more advanced.You do realise our energy bills might have just a little to do with Mrs Thatcher selling off at he Crown Jewels? (NT) -- HemelRog, Saturday, July 12, 06:19:01pm (NoHost/31.94.74.27)
              • Perhaps would be different if Britain still didn't have to import coal... (NT) -- MF, Saturday, July 12, 06:40:29pm (32.246.189.80.dyn.plus.net/80.189.246.32)
                • We wouldn’t have to with green energy.The old hah closed the pits as well. (NT) -- HemelRog, Saturday, July 12, 06:45:07pm (NoHost/31.94.74.26)
                  • Fallacy. Labour closed more pits. (NT) -- //, Monday, July 14, 10:30:42pm (cpc83661-brig20-2-0-cust519.3-3.cable.virginm.net/82.28.106.8)
                    • Nope.The Conservatives have closed the most pits.To be fair hey have been in power(Nurse)for longer.Many pits were closed due to lack of productivity and the move away from fossil fuels.Thatcher closed many of them as part of her campaign against the unions and working class.Incredibly stupid woman(figurehead)who is responsible for the shit show we have today. (NT) -- HemelRog, Wednesday, July 16, 06:58:38pm (NoHost/31.94.14.252)
          • It's happening now with net zero. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Saturday, July 12, 06:17:10pm (NoHost/31.94.12.52)
            • What do you think the cost of not getting to net zero will be?Both financially and in human death and suffering. (NT) -- HemelRog, Saturday, July 12, 06:40:08pm (NoHost/31.94.74.27)
              • The UK is contributing less than 1% of mankind's yearly CO2 emissions, while buying solar panels and wind turbines from China, who on average are beginning construction on at least 1 new coal plant every week. If CO2 emissions are as disastrous as you believe it to be, the UK hitting Net Zero would be as effective as a fart in a hurricane. (NT) -- MF, Saturday, July 12, 06:54:15pm (32.246.189.80.dyn.plus.net/80.189.246.32)
                • Don’t be so disengenuous.We aren’t the only country trying for me zero(sort of).Stop buying all the crap you don’t need or really want and things will change: (NT) -- HemelRog, Saturday, July 12, 07:17:53pm (NoHost/31.94.74.27)
                  • You do realise that China are building new coal plants precisely so they can manufacture things like solar panels and wind turbines? The rest of the World's mad rush to Net Zero doesn't actually prevent the CO2 from being emitted, it just means that it gets emitted under someone else's books, and at a higher fiscal cost. (NT) -- MF, Saturday, July 12, 10:07:39pm (32.246.189.80.dyn.plus.net/80.189.246.32)
                    • Every bit of pointless useless crap my wife buys from Amazon comes from China.Might actually be part of the problem.I’m out just going around in circles. (NT) -- HemelRog, Sunday, July 13, 11:32:15am (NoHost/31.94.12.179)
    • What's pathetic is that there are two grown men on this board who are incapable of holding a rational discussion about anything. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Saturday, July 12, 12:13:26pm (NoHost/31.94.12.53)
      • What’s pathetic is your undestanding of the word rational.Science is rational all the silly bullshit is what it says on the tin. (NT) -- HemelRog, Saturday, July 12, 12:24:00pm (NoHost/31.94.74.26)
        • Science is always evolving. It never stands still. So don't get too comfortable with your settled science. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Saturday, July 12, 06:23:53pm (NoHost/31.94.12.52)
          • It still disagrees with the sceptics though doesn’t it? (NT) -- HemelRog, Saturday, July 12, 06:42:40pm (NoHost/31.94.74.27)
            • The reason science evolves is because the minority triumphs over the majority. That's how it evolves. You subscribe to the majority at the moment but science was never a popularity contest. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Saturday, July 12, 11:11:33pm (NoHost/31.94.12.52)
              • The minority triumphs over the majority.Like it but rubbish.Something is researched and becomes the norm for normal people.Not the everybody is wrong but me brigade obviously. (NT) -- HemelRog, Sunday, July 13, 11:25:42am (NoHost/31.94.12.179)
                • The norm is always changing. 500 years ago you would have been a flat earther. (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Sunday, July 13, 02:34:29pm (NoHost/31.94.74.199)
                  • Nope that would have been you.I think you will find that science has developed a little since the days of Christopher Columbus.Still you and your ilk know better than the experts.You can lead an ass.I’m out. (NT) -- HemelRog, Sunday, July 13, 03:57:11pm (NoHost/31.94.12.178)
                    • "Science has developed a little science the days of Christopher Columbus".Exactly. And that happened because the few challenged the norm (NT) -- Hammersmithender, Sunday, July 13, 04:16:57pm (NoHost/31.94.74.199)
                      • The Ancient Greeks knew the world wasn’t flat.Columbus trout the world was smaller than it is.We’ve been over this garbage tons of times.The vast majority of scientists/climatologists think climate change is man made.Seems a bit iof a done deal to me.Like you though I could be wrong.So could just about every expert.Doubt it though.Really out this time. (NT) -- HemelRog, Sunday, July 13, 04:54:22pm (NoHost/31.94.12.179)
            • Signor Galileo dares claim the Earth dances around the Sun like some wandering vagrant, yet nearly all esteemed astronomers, philosophers, and scholars affirm the Sun moves as Scripture and reason dictate! Shall we discard centuries of wisdom for one man's pride? I say hold fast to the firmament as our forebears did - the Earth stands unmoved, as God ordained! (NT) -- Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, Sunday, July 13, 05:06:30pm (unn-84-17-58-155.cdn77.com/84.17.58.155)
  • Thank god these deniers are not in charge of policy or we wouldn't even get the minimum promised progress on climate, keeping their fingers crossed for their grandchildren that 'it's just the weather' (NT) -- JoeT, Saturday, July 12, 12:28:42pm (cpc96906-walt25-2-0-cust362.13-2.cable.virginm.net/82.13.233.107)
    • Whether our government has a net zero policy or not, our grand children will be looking at Chinas emissions rather than our own. (NT) -- Carter, Wednesday, July 16, 02:48:38pm (NoHost/79.173.173.66)
