thaimite Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Fair enough, thaimaite, but I think the general point about rethinking our ways holds true. I could not agree more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yabaaaa Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) If you don't care, I don't care. I don't have kids. Those with kids, you really should care.I personally think the evidence is compelling. Just watched a BBC docu showing the effects already, polar melting (dramatic and happening much faster than previously predicted), Bangladesh flooding, etc. I am not a scientist. All I can do is trust mainstream scientists on this. I think a better bet than listening to blowhards like Rush Limbaugh and "Drill Baby Drill" Sarah Palin. And the BBC are a great source of unbiased information? As reported in this article. long term BBC reporter Peter Sissons recently criticised the BBC policy of silencing dissenters of Global warming theories. n a wide-ranging attack, he also claims it is now 'effectively BBC olicy' to stifle critics of the consensus view on global warming. He says: 'I believe I am one of a tiny number of BBC interviewers who have so much as raised the possibility that there is another side to the debate on climate change. So tell me, skeptics, how do you explain the situation in the Pacific Islands that are rapidly being eaten up by rising water? http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/c...tes-421493.html Its simple an has real reasons if u look hard enough here read this http://www.bigempire.com/sake/tuvalu1.html TUVALU but this one is much better if you have the time to read it http://www.climatechangefacts.info/Climate...erinterview.pdf Edited December 13, 2009 by yabaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yabaaaa Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Text from above article Then we know that there was a Japanese pineapple industry which subtracted too much fresh water from the inland, and those islands have very little fresh water availible from precipitation, rain. So, if you take out too much, you destroy the water magazine, and you bring sea water into the magazine, which is not nice. So they took out too much fresh water and in came salt water. And of course the local people were upset. But then it was much easier to say, “No, no! It’s the global sea level rising! It has nothing to do with our subtraction of fresh water.” So there you have it. This is a local industry which doesn’t pay. You have Vanuatu, and also in the Pacific, north of New Zealand and Fiji— there is the island Tegua. They said they had to evacuate it, because the sea level was rising. But again, you look at the tide-gauge record: There is absolutely no signal that the sea level is rising. If anything, you could say that maybe the tide is lowering a little bit, but absolutely no rising. And again, where do they get it from? They get it from their inspiration, their hopes, their computer models, but not from observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogoso Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I wish there was a way to tax the hot air and noise pollution produced every time a politician opened his mouth. Tony Blair stated even if the science is wrong we still need to pass legislation on climate change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
