Popular Post GammaGlobulin Posted May 4 Popular Post Share Posted May 4 Hi Folks, Some of you seem a bit confused about whether or not Climate Science is a real science. Also, some, here, wonder if reported Climate Change might not just be attributable to local weather anomalies. Your confusion is perfectly understandable, but ONLY from YOUR perspective. Maybe THIS will help you to better rectify your misunderstanding of the rapid changes that are now happening to, and overtaking, our world: This is a simple test that is often used to diagnose most climate-change deniers/skeptics.... And, you might wish to test yourselves on this test? a. This is Albedo: b. This is Albino Did you pass the test? If you passed this test, then.... Now, you understand all that you need to know about Global Warming? Hope this helps any hold-out Global-warming Deniers, amongst us. Always happy to help,... As you know.... Best regards, Gamma 3 1 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ibjoe Posted May 5 Popular Post Share Posted May 5 Humans caused Climate Change,and only humans can mitigate it. We have passed the "tipping point", Climate Change will continue to get worse. Vast populations will be displaced, partly due to rising sea levels, and as those people seek new lands to live on there will be conflicts and wars. Now is a good time to focus on mitigating this looming catastrophe, mainly by avoiding petroleum energy. Green energy industry will provide many jobs and a better environment. Fossil fuel corporate interests will dispute this and supply much obfuscating propaganda to encourage doubt. China is largest contributor to greenhouse gases, followed by USA, EU, and Russia, in that order. 1 3 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be more grateful and positive. Posting scaremongering on the internet is pretty sad as obesity kills 2.8m per annum compared to only 12,000 from climate. I blame the education system and the media. 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame the education system and the media. Fossil fuels have been the mother's milk of industry, it is time to wean ourselves off them. Conservative models of the Himalayan Plateau indicate by 2050, water flows to the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Mekong rivers will be halved. 2 billion people are sustained by that water, and the models do not include dam projects by the Chinese. I agree the education system is faulty. It does not teach people to recognize "look over there" arguments, or stress the importance of a sound education in physics and chemistry. Much easier to get an Arts degree. The media, in particular the Murdoch media, have been climate change/global warming deniers for more than a decade. Call it scaremongering if you will, the science is on my side. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thingamabob Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I think population growth is as big an issue as the climate, but no one seems to want to talk about it. With the world's population approaching 8 billion I wonder how long it will be before humanity's existence becomes unsustainable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green energy currently is a hoax and unsustainable financially...........what do you think is currently driving this forum's infrastructure and networking, the PC or charge for your phone, the electricity services where you posted this msg. I can assure you, not your expensive subsidized green energy supply. Cheap energy drives economic growth and raises living standards of all people. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would find the answer very interesting, as where I used to live in the UK is a seaside town. The sea levels are the same at high and low tide as they were 70 years ago. A webcam shows the high and low water mark on the habour wall, and the only slight change is due to the phase of the moon. Webcams all along the promenade give the same 24h picture so, where is the sea rising? Oh, and the Maldives haven't sunk yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have any science on your side apart from fossil fuels improving your life by over 90% which you are ungrateful for. Models are projections of current data, and the trends of said data. Reality is the fact humans have effected global warming and climate change by burning fossil fuels for 200 years on an industrial scale. If you don't want to acknowledge that fact, you really have your head in the sand. Fossil fuels are used in a multitude of applications - pharmaceuticals, polymers, fertilizers, and base industrial chemicals. However, we simply cannot afford to keep burning them for the sake of electricity and transport. We need to develop alternatives which are more sustainable. Please tell me what your scientific qualifications are, including your understanding of the laws of thermodynamics. You sound to me like proof of the aphorism a little knowledge is dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked for evidence of rising seas and I gave you an article to read. Presumably you're not really interested in that evidence, otherwise you would have read the article I gave you and said thank you, alternatively you would have searched yourself for more news but from a journal that better agrees with you. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nothing post is when you say look over there at obesity. Although it is another manifestation of human stupidity. Argument ad hominem is all trolls have got when they have no facts. According to the attached link, more than 61,000 people died from heat-related causes in Europe alone, in 2022. https://www.preventionweb.net/news/risk-heat-related-deaths-has-increased-rapidly-over-past-20-years How about you post your link to the 12,000 Climate-related deaths you are claiming.
