Am I still allowed to question climate change?

Recommended Posts

Perhaps this,

 

"Study says warmer temperatures are largely due to natural 300-year cycles"

 

 

The links that Cyclone posted a while ago showed that levels have ups and downs lasting thousands of years. But prior to this century levels were roughly flat or 2,000 years. So a 300 year cycle is just a daily mail headline?

Prior to the 20th century what accurate readings were there for any of the global warming claims?

 

I think you will find the headlines of the global warming brigade are far less accurate than the Daily Mails.

It depends on what level of certainty you want.

 

Most scientists believe in man made climate change, to some extent. So it is prudent to take action to reduce our footprint.

 

Reducing our footprint can make us happier and healthier, instead of becomming bloaters that rarely exercise and consume too much.

Reducing your footprint while others expand theirs can only make you poorer and more stupid, but you carry on denying yourself, someone will make use of your share.

The UK, along with other developed countries caused our massive use of resourses, so we should be the first to cut back.

The UKs Department for International Development is doing its best to make poorer countries richer and more developed. Perhaps this too is counter productive to our effects to reduce our own footprint.

 

But it must be ethical to do the right thing?

 

People in this country dont starve or die from cold conditions because we are poor, they die because the Government are inept.

Yep they should reopen the coal mines.

You're conflating too different issues here, personal movement/consumption is not really the issue re:national levels of emissions. That's more about the economy and industry.

The % of CO2 that comes from personal transport for example is something like 5. So if we all gave up cars tomorrow, we would still be a long way from meeting CO2 reduction commitments that the government has made!

First snow in Cairo, Egypt in 112 years.

 

I bet they are still better at driving in it than we are in the UK :)

Oh dear, climate change professor Chris Turney, gets his research vessel stuck in the ice, whilst investigating global warming, in the Antarctic summer..

Maybe he needs to consult his Atturney.

Did he not notice that, despite his beliefs and it being 'summer' there, the Antarctic is bloomin' cold?
