Hawkwind said:What about China the biggest fossil fuel users in the world? They may have signed but they have increased usage not reduced it as agreed. They mostly used soft coal for heating homes which is untreated and caused thick smog.
Have been to Guangzhou (formally Canton) and from the China Hotel (downtown) you could not see the buildings opposite most mornings.
Himse said:China has fuck loads of people in it tho, 1 person using soft coal would make no difference, when for instance, 50 million people use it, it gets slightly out of hand.
Post links to global warming advocate scientists actually saying this.Job said:Even the most pro-global warming scientists agree that Hurricane strength and frequency has nothing to do with global warming
Huricanes function primarily as an energy transfer mechanism between the hotter atmosphere of the Tropics and the cooler air of regions further north and south. The more energy - i.e. heat - there is in the atmosphere, the more energetic - i.e. destructive - storms become. Here's a link showing the increase in mean world temperatures over the last century or more: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/..._change___evidence_and_predictions/html/1.stm..of course they could be totally wrong, the truth is no-one knows, it's just beyond our knowledge at the moment.
Really? OK: "Sea levels are currently rising at about 1.8mm per year, largely because ice sheets in polar regions are melting, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said." (from bbc.co.uk)Meanwhile us sceptics are waiting for the sea to ACTUALLY rise...
"Snowfall over East Antarctica will not continue to increase indefinitely in a warming world but, conversely, ice melt will accelerate proportionately with every degree of rising temperature, swelling oceans further....and the Antartic to warm instead of cool
Post links showing that glaciers are getting bigger. Here's some pictures showing them getting smaller: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/.../sci_nat_how_the_world_is_changing/html/1.stm...and for the world mass of glaciers to decrease instead of increasing as they are{ pointing out ones that are decreasing and ignoring ones that are getting bigger is bordering on LYING}
And the winner of Most Fucking Ignorant Comment Of The Week goes to...Global warming is FOTD flavour of the decade, it'll be some other shit in 5 years time trust me.
Job said:All information regarding Global warming is contested, this is my point, for every
'ooh it's rising or getting hotter' ,there is equal evidence for the opposite.
FOTD because the world is now only interested in the evidence that fit the preconcieved hysteria that's infested the worlds media.
Yes there are world bodies that have measured bad effects but many highly respected scientists interpret ,and interpret is the key here, the data differently
Global warming is accepted on both sides, of course it happens all the time and Global cooling, the debate is wether it's us (bearing in mind that 95% of greenhouse gas is water vapour, C02 is only 3% of which roughly we are 1/2 responsible)

OR it's natural and will just cycle back round again
NO-ONE KNOWS!!!!!
It's all just sensible guessing and predictions often using computer models with some input parameters based on total unknowns.
