    ..apparently one those Dyson hand dryers saves 400KG of Carbon emissions a year compared to a normal hand dryer. Just makes you wonder, the extent to which we are pumin out CO2 into the atmosphere.
    In conclusion global warming = bad :)

    That graph indicates a 0.8 degree rise in 150 years.

    The population is rising exponentially, as is our co2 emissions. You would also expect the temperature to rise in the same way. increasing more rapidly. it seems like a steady increase from that graph

    toyota already are on top of the hydro . they have 250 hydro cars on a lease for 3 years , after that they can see any problems and crack on .

    as for the second statement it would be a different story if all that did happen and you didnt have the life you had now .

    wether its true or not that the end is neih , saying i dont give a fuck (im not saying you r mind ) is just the wrong attitude . changes dont happen over night , its not a case for 'jim'll fix it' , and everythings better . and if nothing happens 10 / 20 / 30 years time then perhaps we are wrong , but if something did happen then perhaps marty mcfly needs to go back in time with the doc and teach us the truth . perhaps he already has and bush paid him off

    peace

    also we can blame our grandads , and there dads and so forth back in 1750 when the industrail revolution started , mass coal powering factorys , trains , etc . from then on the snow ball effect got bigger ,

    act now on c02 - peace and love the earth and what items grow in its soil ( especaily weed)

    well how would i care if wasnt alive to be able to care??

    and technically it did happen millions of years ago! which in turn shot evolution off on a mad tangent into creating humans and the world and environment we live in.... eventually bringing us to this point now (obviously with a bit history and some canny intense biology inbetween) where we argue that we're fucking up the earth in a big way.

    What annoys me that people can't really fathom how we arent the big picture for this planet at all. considering our species has only been around for about 100,000 - 200,000 years from the very earliest form of homosapien. the earth in turn is estimated to be about 4 billion years old. if that doesent make you feel slightly insignificant i dont know what will and sort of shoves the fact that there isnt any way we can destroy this place before it destroys us first.

    Nah, the end isnt really nigh on the global warming front - it's going to take fucking AGES for us to see any real effects of it (if it indeed is really true). more than 30 years definately, i wouldnt really expect it to be within my lifetime anyway. and i do care to an extent, however it's going to be literally impossible to cut emissions with the majority of the population of earth on the flipside not caring at all.

    I blame old people and the vast quantity of them these days, and the fact that they have there heating on 24/7 even in the summer - however thats quite irrelevant, and a bit nasty tbf.

    also - i'm not paranoid, but technically a geet massive huge catastophe can happen at any time, one that can probably wipe out all life on this rock. but i dont care, i take life as it comes :finger:

    On one channel there was all this about global warming, flick over to sky news & it's about :wanker: Iran, blasting rockets all over the place :lol:

    God help us all eh :D

    i think we should all do our bit cause every little effort counts - however, we the general public are often made/forced to pay for it, shamed into doing out 'little' bit by turning off lights, recycling yoghurt pots yet big industries and even larger developing countries pour out much more polution and waste.

    my personal problem is packaging - the amount of new computers i've seen arriving in recent years and the HHUUGGEEE amount of useless extra unnecessary TAT that comes with it is ridiculous.

    We as individuals can all do ours small bits but it's only a drop in the ocean

    TBH If i was your child Id have more important things on my mind than it being a few degrees warmer outside, having you for a dad would be my main cause for concern..

    Its good to know the government is behind us all with the irreversible climate change problem.

    I sleep better at night knowing that they arent allowing another runway at heathrow for the sake of us, the PEOPLE! ..... while we in turn help out by paying more and more taxes to help them out of a bind with the whole financial crisis. I'm proud to say that i have no problems spending the next 30 years paying off the debt as long as those MP's in whitehall with their single houses and small expenses are busy sorting out the problem.

    Thank god that Prince Charles has flown on his private jet to Brazil and spent 200 thousand pounds of the tax payers money for the rent of a private yacht so he can host a party to highlight how important it is for people like us and them to buckle down and sort things out.

    Oh .. hang about....

    Co2 does not drive climate change - we're made of Co2, the notion is daft. The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) use incomplete models of evidence to correlate heightened emissions to a warmer climate. They focus on too narrow a time frame.

    http://www.aefweb.info/articles59.html

    We're at the end of a solar cycle and there's plenty of peer reviewed climatology work that suggests the planet is actually cooling down. If this is the case, then it's evident that emisions aren't the sole factor dictating planetary warming.

    [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle"]Solar cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:Sunspot_10981_Solar_Cycle_24.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Sunspot_10981_Solar_Cycle_24.jpg/250px-Sunspot_10981_Solar_Cycle_24.jpg"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/d/dc/Sunspot_10981_Solar_Cycle_24.jpg/250px-Sunspot_10981_Solar_Cycle_24.jpg[/ame]

    Emisions may exarcebate factors sure, but when you consider parts of the Thames were frozen over a century ago and people were bricking themselves thinking an ice-age would be nigh - it all starts to look fishy.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Thames_frost_fairs#The_last_frost_fair

    There was also the medievil warm period where it was in excess of the projected danger zone temperatures the IPCC tells us would be catastrophic. Emision levels would hardly have compared and yet the polar ice caps didn't completely melt and tidal waves didn't come and wipe out the planet based on the higher temperatures.

    [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_warm_period"]Medieval Warm Period - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia@@AMEPARAM@@/wiki/File:2000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png" class="image"><img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/2000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png/275px-2000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png"@@AMEPARAM@@commons/thumb/c/c1/2000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png/275px-2000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png[/ame]

    Looking at these patterns over a longer period of time is something most people aren't interested in doing. Because of this, the UN can continue holding humanity to account based on it's 'evidence' as the basis to impose green taxes on stuff like harmful gases in animal feces, decaying organic matter etc.

    Looking at both sides of the argument, I'd say that noone's model seems to correctly predict where we're going or what will happen. There isn't enough information available to forecast how things will pan out long term.

    Still, I think it's unwise to continue to use this planets resources at the rate we are just to see what happens...

    isnt it true (from what ive read in the paper/ saw on tv) that if the polar icecaps melt, there'll only be a global rise of 100 ft water?? :confused:

    ps. where the fook's me avatar gone??? :angry:

    How come a large portion of the polar ice caps melt every year in the summer. Yet, we do not see a seasonal change in sea level?
