Had White Star Lines shown some doubt in expert opinion of unsinkability and put on enough lifeboats...

If you emit enough, you will hit the effect....which is being manifested.
This may go to more than a slight "trouble", so a disaster movie scenario might actually occur.

Greenhouses work by physically blocking heat transfer (by convection) from inside to outside – the same effect that heats the inside of your car when it’s parked in the sun on a hot day. Opening the doors and windows allows air currents to flow and the heat to dissipate.... but neither the atmosphere nor “greenhouse gases” block convection, so there is no literal atmospheric “greenhouse effect.”


Any more knowledge you wanna drop on us Angus?

It was necessary, since some on the thread hadn't got this figured out :D

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I can read the "exaggerations" on my termometer. To make it worse, I was told more than 20 years ago that it would be so.
Excited? Yes, I bloody well am.

I just hope it never seriously progresses beyond, "is too, is not, is too, is not"

Let's hope governments don't unite in oppressing industry in the name of the almighty CO2.

Scientists also agree that through the years, many of them, that the earth has itself gone through climate changes.  Man wasn't here for some of them...and for some of them he was.  It was also predicted this year that it would be one of the worst for numbers of hurricanes.  Guess what...it wasn't.

Not being partial to either side, warming or not warming....I've found no evidence that I find credible to make me believe the earth is warming due to greenhouse emissions.  What I have found is that man is still very weak in predicting what mother nature will do.  I've even read some papers that state an Ice Age is coming.

The same old "The Sky is falling"  Pay attention to me!

Hey...if we stick around for a million years a warming trend or ice age is sure to come.  Just like earthquakes in California....ya wait around long enough one will show up....eventually.

If your getting excited over the point we are at in the current warming cycle you probably would have had kittens if you were living during the periods of 125,000, 250,000 and 400,000 years ago when it's suspected the temperatures peaked high enough from those warming cycles to melt much of the Antarctic ice sheet.

As for the other aspect of climate change and the claims made because of it, i.e. man's wear and tear on the planet is going to toast us all in <insert year very soon > is imo totaly unfounded and is nothing more than hysteria created by bad science.

I desiderate that what you say Jacka1 is not true 100% of the time.

I think that most people fall into the excell category when it comes to the doom and gloom predictions...

Most of us have been there and seen that with the doom and gloom scientists...  too many baby boomers still alive for the scam to work perfectly right now...  works good on the young musheads from public school indoctrinization.

Ane that is about it really... the academics are used to censoring other academics who don't tow the line...  hence the call for a censorship here.
