"Climate change has been occurring for millennia, and will continue until the sun becomes a red giant and melts us all. " I thought the theory was that the sun would burn out and everyone would freeze to death. I suppose it depends on what scientist you listen to. Same as the global warming brigade. It's just a pity the government decided to listen to the wrong ones this time. | |||

"The first and second posts in this thread nicely sum up the lack of understanding that typifies people who are climate change deniers. An opinion that disregards the facts in favour of 'man in the pub logic' is rarely worth expressing." I love the phrase. "Climate change deniers" Its like climate change is the new religion and anyone who opposes that point of view is a blasphemer. | |||

An opinion that disregards the facts in favour of 'man in the pub logic' is rarely worth expressing." Nail hit on the head Climate change is a scientific fact We have burnt in 200 years energy created by several million years of sunshine, the earth is a zero sum planet, all that energy is affecting the atmosphere. Denying it is basically subscribing to a conspiracy theory put up by right wing nut jobs. | |||

"Tea party???? Ok Let bring back the subject home Should we, in the name of climate change refuse to explore cheaper energy option bearing in mind that we are almost running out of gas but are seating on a massive reserve of shale gas?" We are also sitting on one some of the highest levels of accessible Green Energy in Europe in addition to being a member of the research division for the world's first commercial fusion reactor (~2027 - ITER project) | |||

"Climate change is happening. It is a natural thing 85% of the existence of this planet it has had no ice caps. They are there due to us being at the end of a weird phenomenon called ice age. Pollution may or may not change the timing by a decade or two. But won't cause it or stop it. That being said there is no reason not to try to find clean energy for an expanding population. The reality nobody seems to want to admit is we have a growing population and shrinking resources. It's going to get wetter more unpredictable and maybe a little warmer. But not catastrophic in our lifetime. " I disgaree I watched the day after tomorrow..based on a true story last year | |||

They are going to use global warming as the excuse to bring a load of carbon usage based taxes. | |||

"I think they got it completely wrong. The governments of the time took the advice of a few scientists without really doing their own research. Now that we have been extorniatly taxed for the last decade or so they can hardly say they were wrong and pay us back can they. There is lots of evidence to prove global warming is a complete myth. " Global warming is not the myth, the earth has been hearing up and cooling down since its existence. We are in a process of heating up again. The so called greenhouse effect however, is what is now in question! | |||

"It's the common misconception that 'global warming' actually means warmer weather, when in fact it means wetter weather as the poles heat up and freeze less every winter, causing a rise in sea levels and more energy for tropical storm, the actual temperature doesn't go up much but all it takes is more time at 1C than at -1C and the ice caps are gone..."

The global warming brigade sound like an intolerant lot that doesn't want to listen to anyone else's opinions on the matter and like to hurl insults at anyone daring to oppose their believes. The problem is, you don't have an opposing opinion. You aren't being daring, or challenging. You are just taking a counter argument because you are either unwilling or unable to comprehend the science that proves both climate change is a very real problem for the planet, and that it is being influenced by man. Sorry, but you can't have it any other way. There is no science, and no scientists, that dispute this. That is why it is a consensus of opinion. If you think there is or there are, once again it simply displays your ignorance, purposeful or not. Just a quick google search will give you a whole host of scientists that dispute it. It is not a consensus of opinion at all, I am not even alone on this thread in being sceptical. You seem to be very blinkered in your believes and unwilling to listen to any opposing views. No, a quick Google search will give you the results that you think prove that it's not a consensus, that's all. You need to do more than simply look at the links. If you read them, and read about the people who dispute the science, you will find that these scientists and their opinions are either discredited, or they are not actually scientists qualified to dispute the evidence. Being skeptical from a position of ignorance is not actually being a skeptic, you know. Why is my position the one of ignorance ? just because I have an opposing point of view doesn't make me ignorant. It may mean I have read both sides of the argument and have reached my own conclusion instead of blindly following one believe and not listening to other people's thoughts" It clearly doesn't mean that though, does it? Your posts illustrate quite clearly where you stand - and why. | |||

"It's a very strange phenomenon when so many believe something because the papers tell them so. Scientists have often complained over the last few decades, that money is not available to research anything that goes against the fossil fuel / greenhouse effect philosophy. But of course they are just nut jobs, as they don't have a grant and are not part of an established research facility Whilst at the same time so many completely ignore the Oxygen v Carbon battles that have raged on this planet for aeons and decide it's all down to underarm deodorant we used between 1973 and 1977 when we realised our mistake! Bottom line is global warming is happening, it's been happening for about 110,000 years since the Pleistocene age. though that may be wrong cos apparently God only made this place 6,000 years ago. It's a sign of human arrogance that we have decided it's our fault, and even more arrogance that we are researching how to stop it. One day I hope that the government and other funding agencies stop pouring money into generating panic, and instead figures out how subsequent generations can live on a planet with more water and less ice, or alternatively more ice and less water. Very little has arrived or left this place since it got here possibly about 4 billion years back only the balance shifts and we either learn to shift with it or start being the fossil fuel for the next attempt. And apart from all that Minx'y did it, those fluttering eyelashes are fooling nobody." oiiiiii I am not 4 billion years old ..... ancient yes... that old no | |||

"I think they got it completely wrong. The governments of the time took the advice of a few scientists without really doing their own research. Now that we have been extorniatly taxed for the last decade or so they can hardly say they were wrong and pay us back can they. There is lots of evidence to prove global warming is a complete myth. " like a rise in the earths temperature over the last few decades ...some myth...by the same token evolution is a myth | |||

"Climate change is an unavoidable, NATURAL occurance. Any one who says otherwise is an idiot. Any scientist in the world (if they believe in "global warming" or not) and anyone with half a brain cant dispute that. What scientists disagree with, is the effect that humans are having on the environment and the rate and type of climate change. The planet is over due a cooling period, and yet we are seeing a sharp increase in temperatures on average, across the globe. The phrase "global warming" should not be taken literally. This thread is a complete joke and a worrying reflection of the general publics dangerous attitude to the problems of climate change. The planet IS changing, and we may or may not be to blame for that, its irrelevant. What we should be doing is investing everything we have into preparing for the huge changes we will see over the next few centuries, if we want to continue this standard of living. If anyone wants to dispute climate change, go ahead-because you'll be wrong." exactly right, invest in solutions instead of blame. Oblique reference to OP It's still bloody cold outside.. | |||

"One volcano (A natural occurring feat of nature) would burn as much fossil fuel as we have since the beginning of the industrial revolution within a week. Every fuel we concoct is made up of resources that would be here anyway and would have at one time been burning along with the earth and its core. Dont believe the hype, culture of fear designed to mitigate taxation and rocket fuel prices, fuel capitalist consumerism through products to reduce or socially constructed 'Carbon Foot-print' Global climate change has been in cycle for millennia.... Xtra " Youre forgetting that the fuels we use, are being used, whereas without us they would be still sitting in the ground. Burning them off, for example is turning them into something is massive quantities that they wouldnt be, naturally and upsetting a very precise balance. | |||

They do not discount natural forces, but the evidence suggests that it is extremely unlikely that the climate change is due to external forces alone. | |||

If you think there is or there are, once again it simply displays your ignorance, purposeful or not. Just a quick google search will give you a whole host of scientists that dispute it. It is not a consensus of opinion at all, I am not even alone on this thread in being sceptical. You seem to be very blinkered in your believes and unwilling to listen to any opposing views. No, a quick Google search will give you the results that you think prove that it's not a consensus, that's all. You need to do more than simply look at the links. If you read them, and read about the people who dispute the science, you will find that these scientists and their opinions are either discredited, or they are not actually scientists qualified to dispute the evidence. Being skeptical from a position of ignorance is not actually being a skeptic, you know. does being discredited and being proved to be wrong mean the same thing now? all they've had is doubt cast on their theories.that's no proof of anything either way.And doubt exists in both camps. Being discredited means that have been proved to be wrong, yes. And no, doubt does not exist in 'both' camps. There is the science camp, which is a view proven through consistent examination of the available data which leads to the consensus, and there are people who promote a 'counter' view with no evidence to support it. People who are ignorant of the science think that doubt exists on this issue, but that is not the same thing. You are very fervent in your believes but I think it is clouding your judgement somewhat. With the opinion I am right and everyone else is ignorant you will not learn anything. Facts are different from beliefs. Recognising them, and observing when someone else does not, does not make one either a fervent believer, or clouded in judgement...merely informed. So every "denier" is I'll informed and ignorant ? Yes, every 'denier' is ill-informed, and ignorant. How very blinkered if you. The prophet Al Gore ( peace be upon him) will be very proud of you. Anyone who denies climate is wrong, simple as that. Now, anyone who thinks that global warming is horse crap, but recognises climate change as fact, i have more time for. If you think that the people who belive in climate change are all Al Gore fans, more research is needed. Its fine to have an opinion as long as its based on facts." A light hearted attempt at humour but as one famous scientist said humour is illogical. Of course I believe in climate change , it's what causes it is what is up for discussion , or not if the zealots have their way. | |||

"One volcano (A natural occurring feat of nature) would burn as much fossil fuel as we have since the beginning of the industrial revolution within a week. Every fuel we concoct is made up of resources that would be here anyway and would have at one time been burning along with the earth and its core. Dont believe the hype, culture of fear designed to mitigate taxation and rocket fuel prices, fuel capitalist consumerism through products to reduce or socially constructed 'Carbon Foot-print' Global climate change has been in cycle for millennia.... Xtra Youre forgetting that the fuels we use, are being used, whereas without us they would be still sitting in the ground. Burning them off, for example is turning them into something is massive quantities that they wouldnt be, naturally and upsetting a very precise balance." Agreed- But are we not natural beings of the earth to this 'Balance' and regardless of industrialisation would be burning fuels for our survival. I dont dispute our influence, only the scale at which it is being disputed. So its all fine and part of the natural 'Balance' if a Volcano erupts ? | |||

"Climate change is an unavoidable, NATURAL occurance. Any one who says otherwise is an idiot. Any scientist in the world (if they believe in "global warming" or not) and anyone with half a brain cant dispute that. What scientists disagree with, is the effect that humans are having on the environment and the rate and type of climate change. The planet is over due a cooling period, and yet we are seeing a sharp increase in temperatures on average, across the globe. The phrase "global warming" should not be taken literally. This thread is a complete joke and a worrying reflection of the general publics dangerous attitude to the problems of climate change. The planet IS changing, and we may or may not be to blame for that, its irrelevant. What we should be doing is investing everything we have into preparing for the huge changes we will see over the next few centuries, if we want to continue this standard of living. If anyone wants to dispute climate change, go ahead-because you'll be wrong. Once again, scientists do not dispute the effect that humans are having. The scientific consensus is that climate change in the 20th century can be attributed in part to human activity. They do not discount natural forces, but the evidence suggests that it is extremely unlikely that the climate change is due to external forces alone. The evidence suggests ,do not discount, it is extremely unlikely , not irrefutable then ? " In Quaternary sciences, it is thought that the current warming spike in our interglacial period can be attributed to human influences. If we looked back in geological history and saw this kind of spike we would never assume it was natural-not over such a short space of time. Scientists acknowledge that it is possible the current warming trend is natural, but that is only because they are open minded and consider all the options. Its incredibly unlikely that at what should be the end of an inter-glacial period, an average increase appears. | |||

"We were told 13 years ago that Snowfalls are a thing of the past. Guess what? Snow is still here The experts went from global warming to climate change Do you really trust all the so called research on climate? " Something has changed for sure but it's got fuck all to do with modern man and the way we live. The Earth's rotation fluctuates on it's axis between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees, an currently it is tilted at roughly 23.1 degrees - halfway through it's cycle and on a downward trend. When it is as it highest tilt we have severe weather but other factors have to be taken into consideration such as the elliptical nature of the planet's orbit, it's eccentricity and it's precession. The full cycle of the Earth's movement on it's axis and orbit takes tens of thousands of years to complete (an example of this can be found in biblical times when thousands of Jews evaded the Romans at the top of Mount Masada for three years and survived by growing their own food, yet today that area is a desert). I believe the weather we are experiencing now represents a subtle shift in the Earth's orbit and axis and we're in for good summers and bad winters for the foreseeable future. I could be full of shit though. | |||

"Am I a denier? I suppose the following will make me one in the eyes of the "we're all doomed warmists" but here goes. The climate is changing (oh so I'm not really a denier then) but maybe as a lot of historical events suggest it's not as man made as we are led to believe (ok so I am a denier again) What really gets up my nose is that in Britain and many other western countries we are quite prepared not only to sacrifice our economy's but our general well being in a modern society on the altar of global warming/climate change/call it what you will. Considering it is supposed to be a global problem think about this, A small island in the north Atlantic closes two coal fired power stations that it can ill afford to lose and plans to tax the rest into oblivion (to save the planet of course). The same island is sat on top of a huge amount of natural gas but will argue for years about the rights and wrongs of exploiting it. At the same time it pours massive amounts of subsidy into producing "green energy" that isn't really that green (considering that a windmill creates more carbon in its manufacture than it ever saves in its working life) Not satisfied with that, the very same small island taxes air travel at the highest rate in the world on the assumption that a few less holidays to Benidorm will save the planet. This may come as news to some of the warmists, but guess what? China and India are on the very same planet as the afore mentioned small island. Between them they will build around 500 (yes five hundred) new coal fired power stations in the next decade, and even the Germans have 20 new ones planned. Does anyone really think that closing 2 in Britain will even put a dent in that? So while all the high moral minded westerners are crunching their bowl of muesli by candle light and complaining that grannie is freezing to death Mr Woo and co will have all the power he needs to post on forums like these. Oh and don't blame me when the lights go out. " | |||
