Channel 4 actually followed through lol. They ran a climate debate, inviting all tha party leaders. Johnson and Farage wouldn't attend. So C4 put melting ice sculptures in their places.

Sadly, I think the Tories will win anyway. Laughing at least cheers me up at times.

Tories are threatening to look into Channel 4's broadcasting licence after tonight's "mockery" and Brexit party leader Nigel Farage has called Channel 4 unfair and alluded to them being a propaganda network.

Fighting talk is happening, just how much of this country will believe them or side with them.

Yeah I saw the pissy Tory response. It was pretty pathetic of them.

This from the Guardian - John Crace is brilliant!

“Where’s Boris? There were any number of theories doing the rounds as to why the prime minister couldn’t be bothered to turn up for the Channel 4 leaders’ debate on climate change. He was terrified it was a BBC set up and that Andrew Neil would sneak out from behind a curtain and shout ‘Gotcha’.

He was just too shy to show how much he really cared about the environment. Just as he had been too shy to tell David Cameron that austerity was a bad idea back in 2010. He was exhausted after campaigning so hard to unleash the potential of women. Apart from hopeless unmarried mothers of course. They deserved everything they got. Along with the feckless dads who buggered off. There’s going to be hell to pay when Boris Johnson finds out who fathered some of his children.

Just to show how much he really, really wanted to be there, the prime minister sent along his dad and Michael Gove to the Channel 4 studios in his place. After all, Stanley was almost the same as him – give or take a few stray mutant genes – and the Govester had once expressed a vague interest in a polar bear.

But Ben de Pear, Channel 4’s news editor, had had to point out that, charming as both men probably were, neither was actually the leader of the Conservatives. And this was a leaders’ debate. In a scene worthy of The Thick of It, Boris then had a temper tantrum at being excluded from a debate from which he had excluded himself and threatened to review Channel 4’s public service broadcasting obligations. Satire had just eaten itself.”

Is Boris in hiding ??

Has Cummings locked him up with Jacob in a mansion in deepest darkest Somerset...

Sending his dad is the act of an imbecilic man child afraid of scrutiny.

His dad protested with XR recently.I suppose Boris thought that might give him some climate change brownie points...Sorry but it doesn’t work like that...Boris is the leader not his old man...

It’s really quite pathetic and saddening..

I watched it, it was embarrassingly bad no wonder Boris fucked it off.

The greens want to stop swinson frequent flying, swinson wants to build a monolith train line through everything green, the Welsh guy couldn't be honest with Welsh sheep farmers, Jimmy cranky still wants to dig the oil up and export scotch whiskey plus she wants Swinsons train to go her way, all of them want more houses and concrete for the poor, Corbyn had the sense to not say to much and the "climate emergency" phrase was used 57 times... Just for those who don't know were in an emergency

I don't think it's any great mystery.

Climate change isn't of importance for Farage's bosses in the States.

And the Tories have weaker pledges in their manifesto around carbon emissions. Plus Johnson isn't the person they want in a discussion that may touch on science. His bluster is ineffective when pitched against cold hard facts.

I agree.

The problem lies with the right wing tactic of shifting the debate from what to do about the facts or climate change. To the facts themselves. This:

A. Puts doubt into the minds of people who aren't paying attention.

B. Causes a delay to the real debate on what we should do, while people explain the science those who aren't paying attention.

The debate shouldn't be "should we do something about climate change". It should be "what should we do about climate change".

An independent Scotland should invest its oil revenues into renewables.Its got wind and tidal forces in abundance to be tapped..

Ms Sturgeon said: “We have to transition away from fossil fuels and that transition has to accelerate.

“We’re one of the most renewable energy rich countries in the world.

“If we were to stop oil production tomorrow, we would make ourselves more reliant on imports – the carbon intensity would increase.

“The transition has got to be done in a way that cuts our emissions, but the one other thing that’s not been mentioned here – where we’ve taken action that other countries haven’t – Is the justice of the transition – not doing this in a way that leaves people behind and decimates people’s jobs.”

He's right. All parties should be scrutinised on their policies and how they can achieve them.

Otherwise their manifestos are nonsense.

But I don't know why you're specifically suggesting that labour are the only party with an unrealistic section of their strategy? Seems they are far from the worst when it comes to climate change.

If you'd enjoy a good chuckle. Go and read UKIPs climate policies. Thank fuck they're unlikely to get any seats.

If Pakistan manages 2.5 million saplings in one day in September last year I think we can do 8.3 million a month..

10 billion trees is the goal of Imran Khan and his government .

But the threat isn't really based on a legal question.

The Government has the power to change the terms under which C4 operate.

So whether what they did was legal or not, Boris could "punish" them for it.

It's the hammer under which the BBC have been becoming labouring. In a more exposed position as they have no advertising income.

Pitty Sturgon didn't reflect on her grilling by Neil two days ago, it must have been water off her back? He quoted the SNP gave a pre referendum manifesto promising £20bn revenue from oil, when they brought in only £300m.

I can not argue with the fact that there's surplus wind up there.

You have. Your hero Donald Trump announced that the U.S would cease participation in the 2015 Agreement on climate change mitigation.

He, like you thinks it's more important to make America great even if it means that much of it will eventually be under water. Those Americans will be rich but dead. A weird order of priorities.

To my mind every politician of every country should have climate change as their number one priority. Does it not make sense that when we are facing global extinction everything else is irrelevant?

Just as matter of interest do you know what a tipping point is?.

Is it where we all might die in 12 years but definitely will in 25

When methane emissions cause global warming which in turn causes more global warming in a feedback loop that we will be powerless to prevent. You think we should be concentrating on fixing potholes?

Well as a 'leftie' who drives a luxury German Sports car (which is also the most economical car I've ever owned. Before you go off on one) I pay £320 per tire every time I lose one to a pothole. So with you on the pothole issue.

I have children and hope to have grandchildren so whether the planet lasts 12 years, 25 years or 50 years is irrelevant. The point is if we don't stop it now it will be impossible to stop it later.

I have read articles (and no this isn't a dissertation so I'm not providing references) that say of the 6 major phenomenon that threaten global extinction 2 have past tipping points. 20% of the the Amazon rain forest which produces 20% of the world's oxygen is already gone.

These phenomena also feed off each other thereby increasing an already exponential effect. Combine this with the human contribution to global warming and it isn't being alarmist..

Oooh you mean runaway climate change ... I leave the scary stuff for grownups.

You have. Your hero Donald Trump announced that the U.S would cease participation in the 2015 Agreement on climate change mitigation.

He, like you thinks it's more important to make America great even if it means that much of it will eventually be under water. Those Americans will be rich but dead. A weird order of priorities.

To my mind every politician of every country should have climate change as their number one priority. Does it not make sense that when we are facing global extinction everything else is irrelevant?"

.

Oh yea a global extinction, crikey that sounds really really bad, when's it going under water then?, what's the IPCC say? , I'll contact Baywatch and let them know.

Yes.

The outlook for the UK is bleak as fuck. But at least there was some positive feeling during this debate "

It's not that bad, I watched that rapman film the other night without being macheted once.

Wish I had to be honest, the film was shit.

They've been on board with it for decades, what do you think the diesel engine Revolution for the last 30 years was about?, the fracking Revolution?.

It's called lowering the c02 output from energy usage.

"

In a half hearted way maybe they did in the past .You can see now all parties want a piece of the green vote.

There’s greater momentum then ever before and greater pressure from the public to make governments make the change..

It’s a long haul but worth it..

.

I'm just passing through and yes to both.

Technically speaking I do breath methane, it's in "air", if I were to only breath oxygen I'd die.

Methane breaks down into c02 and H20 in the atmosphere and technically speaking I breath them as well.

As a greenhouse gas both c02 and H20 should be limited so I'm on board with trying our best to control methane outputs.

However suicide is no solution to escape death, so honestly, I'm not on board with leftwing nonsense over climate emergency/doomsday cult tripe.

Well every little helps as they say but whatever anyone does is not going to change much, history shows us that civilizations have been wiped out in the past by climate change and non of them were man made.Man made climate change is good for keeping the masses minds concentrated if they actually said there is fuck all we can do about it apart from slow it up a bit there would be anarchy.

Scientists who study climate change aren't political with their findings.

So labelling people who study climate as "leftwing nonsense" only shows that you're angry and you don't understand the situation.

Apathy has always been the enemy of mankind and progress.

It is possible that the problem can’t be solved by us but we can buy future generations more time to solve it.Lets not give up on humanity just yet.

If you read about some of the science behind it. You would see why it's directly related to human activity. And that we've dramatically increased the speed with which the planet is heading. It's a cascade effect, so a small temperature increase due to CO2 etc kicks off other factors that increase the speed with which the climate changes.

The science is 100% on this.

Of course, you may choose not to believe this regardless of the information.

These people who study climate are they really impartial or all trying to provr their own little theories.Ive yet to find anyone who can explain how man made climate change wiped out the bronze age in the middle east,n africa and the med or the assyirian empire in the 7th century bc.

You should try reading, I didn't label people who study climate change anything, I label people like you and the other guy leftwing liars and purveyors of climate nonsense.

Take this paragraph he wrote.

"he, like you thinks it's more important to make America great even if it means that much of it will eventually be under water. Those Americans will be rich but dead. A weird order of priorities".

There's no science at all that man made c02 outputs will cause this to happen in any way shape or form, it is scaremongering leftist lying that both of you should be ashamed about.

Just as matter of interest do you know what a tipping point is?.

Is it where we all might die in 12 years but definitely will in 25

When methane emissions cause global warming which in turn causes more global warming in a feedback loop that we will be powerless to prevent. You think we should be concentrating on fixing potholes?

Well as a 'leftie' who drives a luxury German Sports car (which is also the most economical car I've ever owned. Before you go off on one) I pay £320 per tire every time I lose one to a pothole. So with you on the pothole issue.

I have children and hope to have grandchildren so whether the planet lasts 12 years, 25 years or 50 years is irrelevant. The point is if we don't stop it now it will be impossible to stop it later.

I have read articles (and no this isn't a dissertation so I'm not providing references) that say of the 6 major phenomenon that threaten global extinction 2 have past tipping points. 20% of the the Amazon rain forest which produces 20% of the world's oxygen is already gone.

These phenomena also feed off each other thereby increasing an already exponential effect. Combine this with the human contribution to global warming and it isn't being alarmist..

Oooh you mean runaway climate change ... I leave the scary stuff for grownups.

You have. Your hero Donald Trump announced that the U.S would cease participation in the 2015 Agreement on climate change mitigation.

He, like you thinks it's more important to make America great even if it means that much of it will eventually be under water. Those Americans will be rich but dead. A weird order of priorities.

To my mind every politician of every country should have climate change as their number one priority. Does it not make sense that when we are facing global extinction everything else is irrelevant?.

Oh yea a global extinction, crikey that sounds really really bad, when's it going under water then?, what's the IPCC say? , I'll contact Baywatch and let them know.

Yup it's all a myth right?

Why are you so fixated on a doomsday date?

You can stick your head in the sand (or a pothole) and carry on believing that we can breathe methane instead of oxygen. You're on the same planet as the rest of us (in a physical sense at least)

Are you part of the solution, part of the problem or part of the scenery?.

I'm currently working in the aerospace industry and work directly with scientists who are responsible for collecting some of the data from satellites, specifically the Copernicus Programme.

The scientists I work with say that what we are being told is understated rather than exaggerated. But what does a scientist with multiple PhDs know compared to a fab forimite.....

The natural climate change argument is a bit like finding a man dead with a gunshot wound to the head and proclaiming that it could have been natural causes because people die all time without being murdered.

The Amazon forest is being decimated. Fact.

The Amazon forest produces Oxygen, a lot of it fact. Yes pure oxygen will kill you. But so will pure methane and CO2. Fact.

Apart from the fact that methane isn't going to be good to breathe it also contributes global warming.

It isn't a cataclysmic event it's a gradual one. Right now storms are worse than they should be because they contain more moisture because of global warming. People are already dying.

.

That is correct, evidence that puts the range of warming between 1.5 degrees to 4 degrees by 2100, America isn't under water, billions don't die, no global extinction.

To halt the worse scenario (4 degrees) we should be looking to halve (or preferably more) our c02 emissions by 2050.(Boris has committed to much more than that).

Although personally I doubt they'll manage it.

google says the Assyrian empire rose during an unusually wet period for the region .It collapsed during an unusually long drought

The climate changed and the empire wasn’t prepared for it is my take away from it .

A short summary admittedly.No doubt the empire over extended it self as most do prior to downfall.

Exactly bob had about 200 years of wet weather after a period of 4000 years of dry weather then had a drought now was that man made?

Nobody is arguing the climate hasn’t change before We know that the Sahara was once lush and green and great place to live at the end of the last ice age .It quickly became desert in a blink of an eye.It wasnt down to man.

There seems to be a lot of confusion around the phrase "climate change"

The problem is accelerated climate change. It's happening far too fast.

Anyone arguing against man made causes just need to read up on it. There is zero doubt about the science. There is doubt about what to do about it. And there is severe political and capitalist pressure not to take any action.

Get fucked

Just as matter of interest do you know what a tipping point is?.

Is it where we all might die in 12 years but definitely will in 25

When methane emissions cause global warming which in turn causes more global warming in a feedback loop that we will be powerless to prevent. You think we should be concentrating on fixing potholes?

Well as a 'leftie' who drives a luxury German Sports car (which is also the most economical car I've ever owned. Before you go off on one) I pay £320 per tire every time I lose one to a pothole. So with you on the pothole issue.

I have children and hope to have grandchildren so whether the planet lasts 12 years, 25 years or 50 years is irrelevant. The point is if we don't stop it now it will be impossible to stop it later.

I have read articles (and no this isn't a dissertation so I'm not providing references) that say of the 6 major phenomenon that threaten global extinction 2 have past tipping points. 20% of the the Amazon rain forest which produces 20% of the world's oxygen is already gone.

These phenomena also feed off each other thereby increasing an already exponential effect. Combine this with the human contribution to global warming and it isn't being alarmist..

Oooh you mean runaway climate change ... I leave the scary stuff for grownups.

You have. Your hero Donald Trump announced that the U.S would cease participation in the 2015 Agreement on climate change mitigation.

He, like you thinks it's more important to make America great even if it means that much of it will eventually be under water. Those Americans will be rich but dead. A weird order of priorities.

To my mind every politician of every country should have climate change as their number one priority. Does it not make sense that when we are facing global extinction everything else is irrelevant?.

Oh yea a global extinction, crikey that sounds really really bad, when's it going under water then?, what's the IPCC say? , I'll contact Baywatch and let them know.

Yup it's all a myth right?

Why are you so fixated on a doomsday date?

You can stick your head in the sand (or a pothole) and carry on believing that we can breathe methane instead of oxygen. You're on the same planet as the rest of us (in a physical sense at least)

Are you part of the solution, part of the problem or part of the scenery?.

I'm just passing through and yes to both.

Technically speaking I do breath methane, it's in "air", if I were to only breath oxygen I'd die.

Methane breaks down into c02 and H20 in the atmosphere and technically speaking I breath them as well.

As a greenhouse gas both c02 and H20 should be limited so I'm on board with trying our best to control methane outputs.

Well it all depends. Two of the world's largest are New York and Los Angeles. Both costal cities. In fact 8 of the 10 largest cities are located on the coast and London isn't one of them. Bangkok which is is only 1.5m above sea level could be under water in the next 15 years.

44% of the world's population live within 150km of the coast.

"Tories are threatening to look into Channel 4's broadcasting licence after tonight's "mockery" and Brexit party leader Nigel Farage has called Channel 4 unfair and alluded to them being a propaganda network.

Fighting talk is happening, just how much of this country will believe them or side with them.

I find it particularly perturbing when parties threaten the media when they don't do what they are told. I find it to be thuggish behaviour. Even for Tories I think it's a new low.newspapers are allowed to be bias but broadcasting companies are supposed to remain neutral and there are laws to govern them.If they have broken the law prosecute them if not they have nothing to worry about.

But the threat isn't really based on a legal question.

The Government has the power to change the terms under which C4 operate.

So whether what they did was legal or not, Boris could "punish" them for it.

It's the hammer under which the BBC have been becoming labouring. In a more exposed position as they have no advertising income. You make it sound like we live in a dictatorship boris this boris that,parliament decide these things a bill is put to the vote and it either passes or doesn't.I know many on here like to portray him as a dictator but thats not how the country works as we have already witnessed with the brexit fuck up.

"

When the Government has a clear majority, it can in fact dictate to a large degree.

Particularly the Tories who generally (until Brexit) manage to herd their MPs well, however poor the legislation.

1 I don't believe there's any data for an exponentially increasing population, in fact I think the data shows by 2100 we'll be below 4 billion.

2 sea level rise is problematic because coasts are great to live on but there's very little data that shows large sea increases (over 300mm in any short (50 years)time scale).

3 were on the technological "hamster wheel" we have been for 200,000 years, we'll innovate or die.

3 were on the technological "hamster wheel" we have been for 200,000 years, we'll innovate or die.

That's life "

1 you're right. It's steeper than that. Where do you get your data? I have 990 million in 1800. 4 billion by 1975. 6 billion in 1999. And 7.7 billion in 2019.

2 I have two studies showing 30cm rise by 2050 (low emission) and 34cm (high emission) which is 30 years time not 50. So for the maldives for instance where no ground surface is above 3 meters and 80% of land lying below 1 meter this is a problem.

3. And what technological invention will solve an exodus of people from densely populated coastal areas inland with inadequate infrastructure, sanitation, hospitals etc. Not that any initiative is going to come from the private sector since it is the private sector causing the problems in the first place.

Well it all depends. Two of the world's largest are New York and Los Angeles. Both costal cities. In fact 8 of the 10 largest cities are located on the coast and London isn't one of them. Bangkok which is is only 1.5m above sea level could be under water in the next 15 years.

Maybe the measurements should be done in sky remotes. Then all of fab would pay attention.

"Have you googled the photo of rising sea levels at Sydney harbour? Terrible. We need to do something to prevent this further!

What's your suggestion?

Well for a start fix the potholes!

"

Chopping down the Amazon rain forests is something we could do today if we were really serious about climate change.

But that would require pressure from politicians who get their funding from.... wait for it... the same sector that is chopping down the forests.

The only way we will ever force the politicians into taking action is if we, the electorate force them into doing something or losing office.

For this to happen we need to stand together as a people determined to save the planet rather than squabbling over petty issues. When half of us are denying we're in trouble when the facts are in front of us is scary.

Will we in years to come be known as the generation who shat the ecological bed? When people look back to 2019 and think that's when we could have changed things but we were too busy squabbling over economic policy and our politicians were owned by industrialists.

We will one day look back at the linear times as the good old days. Methane from the permafrost will cause global warming which will cause more release of more methane in a viscous loop.

The headline should read "The Amazon forest can't grow fast enough to keep up with a population that increases by a billion every 10 years". But instead it reads "Burned areas of the Amazon could take centuries to recover. And it's centuries we don't have"

The UN rarely get demographics and fast pace changes correct they always overestimate then twenty years later correct there overestimation.

Birth rates have been in rapid decline in the West for decades, fertility rates have dropped for decades, women don't want kids when they get wealthier and have birth control as India is showing the Chinese have relaxed the one birth rate and there's no sign anybody's going to change,2.2 children per woman is the replenishment rate the only place in the world with high birth rates is Africa and even there you see great big drops from 6,7,8 children down to 3,4 and 5, everywhere else is either on 2.2 or way below, by 2100 the population will be in terminal decline by our own making.

Were not gonna go extinct like but the party is coming to a close and were on the smooching song .

Why didn't Batman elbow Julius Augustus in the nuts in 27BC?some say the decline of the roman empire was partly due to climate change too.

The timelines do fit. The Roman era was warmer than it is today at it's apex, the known world entered the "dark ages" as temperatures declined.

If you can give me the satellite data from those times then I know people who will be able to tell you why.

Why are there ancient cities under the ocean? Did they build them under water or did sea levels rise?

Just use the ice core data."

A lot of the points raised in this thread are in isolation.

We are pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.

We are burning the rainforests.

We are fracking.

We are hunting and fishing sealife into extinction.

We are polluting the environment with plastics, industrial waste etc.

We are seriously over populated and still going strong.

It's not just the average global temperature, it's ocean currents, changes of salinity which affects sea cooling

Etc etc etc

You have to take all of these things in combination.

To those who believe that the problems of rising sea levels only affect us when the sea rises over the level of our roofs....

As previously pointed out 44% of our population live within 150m of the coast. If the world population is 7.7 billion we are talking 3.388 billion people. If all of those people move inland will we have the infrastructure to cope? Can we build hospitals, houses etc for this influx? If not we are talking about people with no housing, no sanitation, no hospitals..... this is a scenario today. With zero population growth.

So when is this happening 2050? 2100?

How many nuclear reactors are built in low lying areas next to rivers or the sea so they can utilise water to cool them and have any of you considers what happens if storms increase in ferocity (which is the more immediate effect of global warming rather than rising sea levels) with the potential for tsunamis or breaching of sea defences and flooding of these facilities? Just a thought for all of the climate change deniers - remember what happened at fukushima - that was a tsunami brought on by an earthquake but a storm surge could be just as disastrous. If you want a historic example of what can happen you could look back to 1362 where an enormous storm re-shaped European coastlines permanently or 1703 when most of the british navy was destroyed by a storm of intense ferocity and bear in mind that these were pre-global warming as we currently know it. I guess some will sat y that this example refutes climate change whereas my own point of view is that it demonstrates what could happen more readily and frequently in the future. The climate change debate should be viewed as an opportunity to make efficiencies rather than carry on wasting our resources.

If you look at a chart of population growth it has basically gone from almost flat linear to exponential round about the time that fuel driven machinery started being used for farming.

We are already seeing land needing to be evacuated because of rising sea levels so where do all those people go?

Another factor is air humidity. Once it reaches a certain level lungs are unable to function. When we look at the populations in the tropics we need to ask will all of those people just lay down and die or will we find them at our doorsteps?

What is our response to people who try to raise awareness of the catastrophe we are almost too late to avoid? Jeremy Clarkson calls Greta Thunberg 'mad and dangerous'. I mean what's more important? Having a planet our grandchildren can live on, or fooling around in cars?

You know for a fact sea levels haven't risen?

https://climatefeedback.org/claimreview/photo-meme-of-sydney-harbour-incorrectly-claims-no-sea-level-rise-has-occurred/

But yes sea levels do not rise a the same level all over the world. There are a number of reasons for that.

There is undeniable proof that sea levels are rising. I think that debate is long gone. Also the argument that climate changes are naturally occurring is lost in the speed that changes are occurring. If the earth were NOT suffering from the damage that humanity is causing, now that would be puzzling.

It's irrelevant. I don't care if she is exposed as an alien from outer space trying to get us to save the planet so it's worth capturing. The point is that whenever an entity stands up to save our planet they encounter opposition from the rich industrialists.

An example is Sea Shepherd. In trying to prevent whaling ships from refuelling they have been branded as terrorists. Not just by the Japanese but by Trump.

I watched Shark Extinction with absolute horror and a sick feeling in my gut. Probably the sadest thing I've ever watched.

I work with scientists on a daily basis on a project that is solely dedicated to obtaining accurate data.

The town I grew up in was originally a fishing village. The old timers spoke about how fish would literally jump into the boat. The place then became industrialized with 5 major industries established and a common effluent pipeline that fed into the sea. After that you could fish for entire day and not get a bite. Deep sea fishermen were complaining how far they needed to go to catch fish.

That was in the 80's.

No. Once the town was industrialized commercial fishing stopped. The only fishermen were deepsea fishermen who fished as a sport on weekends. Theoretically fish populations should have increased.

This was in the 80's. It wasn't because of climate change is was the direct result of pollution. The industries however released a ton of scientific data to prove the environment was not being affected. The town's top environmentalist confirmed this data was correct and stopped her campaigning and coincidentally became rich for no apparent reason. Call me cynical

What would you like to deny...

That the Amazon produces 20% of the world's oxgen?

Or that 20% of that forest has been destroyed for farming?

Or as one person has argued that we don't need oxygen to live?

Or perhaps one could argue that the 77 000 fires recorded by NASA last year were naturally occurring?

Is 77000 fires more or less than occurred during the medieval warm period which was warmer than it is now? Or the golden years of Egypt, which were warmer than it is now? Unless there's a comparison it's meaningless. I agree the destruction of the rain forest is terrible. But short of going to war with Brazil, what can we do? Pay them not to i assume...

Sorry I wasn't specific. It's 77 000 fires in the same region around the Amazon. This is a 85% increase year on year.

There was noticeable darkening over Sao Paulo over 1700 miles away as viewed from Satellite imagery.

On Monday afternoon, the whole city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, went completely dark – as it turns out, the city was buried in smoke by the strong winds coming from the Amazon rainforest fires burning nearly 1,700 miles away. According to Reuters, Brazil’s space research center INPE has detected almost 72,843 wildfires raging in the Amazon rainforest.

The research center states that their satellite data showed an 83% increase in the same period in 2018, showing that this year Amazon has suffered a record number of forest fires.

Well the good news is that most of the earth's oxygen comes from phytoplankton not the Amazon forest.

The bad news is that the phytoplankton are also in danger of dying out.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/12/151201094120.htm

We already seeing 'dead zones' in the ocean due to oxygen depletion in the water.

"About two-thirds of the planet's total atmospheric oxygen is produced by ocean phytoplankton -- and therefore cessation would result in the depletion of atmospheric oxygen on a global scale. This would likely result in the mass mortality of animals and humans."

The first step to solving the problem is electing leaders who acknowledge climate change. If Trump declared sanctions on Brazil until the issue was resolved, it would stop tomorrow. Instead Trump left the 2015 Paris accord in favour of American jobs and salaries.

It's all good and well to point to the political agendas of these scientists but do you not think that rich industrialists are not ploughing money into turning environmentalists into nutcases. Once you provide data that contradicts other data it becomes a debate. Once it's a debate nothing happens. Which buys time for the industrialists.

Not only do the industrialists have a dog in this fight, they have the money to win it.

I take everything I read with a bucket of salt. But the scientists I work with have no reason to lie in front of me.

Agreed science is science. Data is data.

But those scientists need funding and it can't come from industry.

The industrialists are not going to regulate themselves and so long as they own our politicians they won't be regulated by government either.

Right now we need pressure on the Brazilian government to stop Amazon fires which are illegal but they turn a blind eye to. And also Japan's official return to whaling.

I read a report that says that local activists have been murdered in a drive by shooting. Another assassinated. And the world has it's head in the sand!

The first step to solving the problem is electing leaders who acknowledge climate change. If Trump declared sanctions on Brazil until the issue was resolved, it would stop tomorrow. Instead Trump left the 2015 Paris accord in favour of American jobs and salaries.

It's all good and well to point to the political agendas of these scientists but do you not think that rich industrialists are not ploughing money into turning environmentalists into nutcases. Once you provide data that contradicts other data it becomes a debate. Once it's a debate nothing happens. Which buys time for the industrialists.

Not only do the industrialists have a dog in this fight, they have the money to win it.

I take everything I read with a bucket of salt. But the scientists I work with have no reason to lie in front of me.Yes we need leaders that does that but also leaders to accept other views too, wasnt there a report that we should be more worried about global cooling rather than warming? You never hear about that from the globalists tho."

Nope. Non-scientific views that oppose known facts should be absolutely ignored by politicians.

They should spend their time discussing what to do about what we know. Not listening to maniacs who think that science isn't real, the moon is made of cheese, the earth is flat and climate is warming faster than in all of history for no reason.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

A gigantic cavity - two-thirds the area of Manhattan and almost 1,000 feet (300 meters) tall - growing at the bottom of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is one of several disturbing discoveries reported in a new NASA-led study of the disintegrating glacier. The findings highlight the need for detailed observations of Antarctic glaciers' undersides in calculating how fast global sea levels will rise in response to climate change.

Researchers expected to find some gaps between ice and bedrock at Thwaites' bottom where ocean water could flow in and melt the glacier from below. The size and explosive growth rate of the newfound hole, however, surprised them. It's big enough to have contained 14 billion tons of ice, and most of that ice melted over the last three years.

Imagine the downward pressure on a glacier that is a thousand feet tall. And all that is holding up like a dam wall is ice that is breaking away.

Thwaites Glacier is currently responsible for approximately 4 percent of global sea level rise. It holds enough ice to raise the world ocean a little over 2 feet (65 centimeters) and backstops neighboring glaciers that would raise sea levels an additional 8 feet (2.4 meters) if all the ice were lost.

A level of 2 meters would displace 180 million people.

Ever heard of the Copernicus project? Sentinel 4? Sentinel 5? Hundreds of millions £ on a conspiracy?

The work currently being done is not secret, it's part funded by university laboratories. If you want you can go to Harwell near Oxford and ask the scientists yourself. Nothing stopping you.

They are good questions. But if I don't know the answers it's probably because I'm not Google.

The earth goes through natural warming and cooling cycles. True.

Were these global warm periods or localised warm periods? If they were global, how was satellite data collected in medieval times and the times of the pharaohs?

Who is saying there wasn't a previous global warming with catastrophic consequences? I read somewhere that the pyramids had water damage...

Ps brainiac.

Footnotes on temperature increases measured over geological era.

Start of end of+temperature increase, nowhere in science does it say it was a linearly increase, it could possibly be but it also could possibly be not, it could have been 3 degrees in a year and then nothing for 500.

I mean if you want to compare our current geological increase to past ones then fine go ahead that would be relative, comparing a measured century increase over a geological measured increase is worthless.

Bad data, badly interpreted as you like to say.

To my knowledge they never found Atlantis but there is a lot to suggest that there was a great flood, the problem being that if this were the case we have the dates that pyramids were built very wrong indeed.

In recent times they discovered an underwater city off the coast of India. Some historians believe this may have been Krishnas city meaning that what we believed to be myth may have some truth to it.

Learn to read and comprehend. You have used an average of 100 years and compared it to 5000 years, that is not comparable averages. Come back with either a comparison of the last 5000 years to compare, or a comparable 100 years from the warming period at the end of the last ice age to compare. Otherwise the averages are meaningless.

I got more ice from the freezer, added more lime and more vodka.

This saves us going through them one at a time....

This "science" is undeniable! "science" says so...

So polar bears increasing in numbers as opposed to nearly being extinct is "science"? Sounds like math to me.

You're backing the 3% of scientists who say what you want to hear rather than the 97% who report the inconvenient truth?

For example, your science uses the "bathtub" approach to sea levels. There's plenty of websites explaining why it is an unsuitable theory.

Im simply asking you what happened the last time the glacier melted? As its not as warm now as it was in the medieval warm period, or the time of the great pharaohs of Egypt, what happend last time it melted?

They are good questions. But if I don't know the answers it's probably because I'm not Google.

The earth goes through natural warming and cooling cycles. True.

Were these global warm periods or localised warm periods? If they were global, how was satellite data collected in medieval times and the times of the pharaohs?

Who is saying there wasn't a previous global warming with catastrophic consequences? I read somewhere that the pyramids had water damage...

Indeed, the sphinx has what looks like water erosion. Could it all tie in with Noah's flood and atlantis..?

To my knowledge they never found Atlantis but there is a lot to suggest that there was a great flood, the problem being that if this were the case we have the dates that pyramids were built very wrong indeed.

In recent times they discovered an underwater city off the coast of India. Some historians believe this may have been Krishnas city meaning that what we believed to be myth may have some truth to it."

Im sure i remember reading the sphinx predated the pyramids? Probably mistaken.

This ties into your denial of man-made climate change how?

You do have some research to refute man-made climate change though don't you?

Like Boy-faintly flickering. You have a theory about why there is a global conspiracy against burning oil, right?

Nobody actually knows how old either of them are, it's all educated guesswork mostly based on archeologist past findings on human civilisations ability to create them.

" Non-scientific views that oppose known facts should be absolutely ignored by politicians.

climate is warming faster than in all of history for no reason. .

False.

Thank you. Right on cue.

An excellent example of some nonsense that needs to be ignored..

Your the one writing lies.

Cmon your the one with a university degree in this shit, you know that's a lie surely?.

You are incorrect.

Searching the NASA website will tell you that you are wrong. They are well known conspiracy theorists though. .

Go on then brainiac,find me this fact "climate is warming faster than in all of history" on the NASA website

Search "global warming nasa earth observatory"

It's the first result.

"As the Earth moved out of ice ages over the past million years, the global temperature rose a total of 4 to 7 degrees Celsius over about 5,000 years. In the past century alone, the temperature has climbed 0.7 degrees Celsius, roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming."

Your turn..

That's a piss poor effort.

You know I was very specific on wording.

"Climate is moving faster than in all of history" was the wording, not than of natural ice age temperature increases.

And not to piss on your chips even more but errr you know all of history, it's a little bit longer than a million years .

Over to you.

I'll also add 'faster than the average rate' doesn't mean mucg, it might of been really exceptionally fast for one year than really slow for 4999. What was the fastest rate during ice age recovery warming?

When you work with big data sets you look at averages. The other stuff is called noise.

Go and have a read.

Thanks for your input though

Learn to read and comprehend. You have used an average of 100 years and compared it to 5000 years, that is not comparable averages. Come back with either a comparison of the last 5000 years to compare, or a comparable 100 years from the warming period at the end of the last ice age to compare. Otherwise the averages are meaningless."

I haven't used anything. It's the simpletons at NASA.

You're cleverer than them though. Lots of people tell you I suppose.

Perhaps you need to read up about gradients and rates of change?

If you lose the argument revert back to throwing in straw man's and the line "do you know any other conspiracy theories".

Brilliant

"Ps brainiac.

Footnotes on temperature increases measured over geological era.

Start of end of+temperature increase, nowhere in science does it say it was a linearly increase, it could possibly be but it also could possibly be not, it could have been 3 degrees in a year and then nothing for 500.

I mean if you want to compare our current geological increase to past ones then fine go ahead that would be relative, comparing a measured century increase over a geological measured increase is worthless.

Bad data, badly interpreted as you like to say.

"

Actually, there is annual banding in ice core data, corals, lake sediment and marine sediment.

None of your rambling disproves the data attesting to anthropomorphic climate change.

Give it a try at least.
