Ah well, the sunbathing will be good in ol' Blighty !

Apparently if GW continues billions of gallons of frsh water dumped into Arctic ocean from Russian rivers. This will reduce ocean salinity and slow down and eventually stop Atlantic conveyer aka Gulf Stream.
So we in this county will not be basking in higher temps but shivering at -20C.

people are so worried about change they don't seeem to realise that an ice age is in fact 1000 years overdue (they alwasy follow a warming of the planet) so on that note, are we contributing to it, or is it just the plannet catching itself up?

Global warming all started with those chaps painting caves in France and cooking dead bears over open fires about 6000 years ago - The current frenzy is just another excuse to make us pay more tax. I would think that anyone who has carried out any research on the subject over and above what they have read in the tabloids would agree. There sems to be a basic process here
1. Scientists prove that global warming is happening (agreed 100%)
2. Media tells us it is our fault (how? - The remaining Brazilian rain forests give out more CO2 at night than China does in 24 hours)
3. Tony Blair taxes us just in case
The logical conclusion using this line of thinking is to get rid of the rain forests and scrap 'green' taxes

because it takes thousands of years for the waves to crash against the shore and grind it all down to something resembling a beach...
The "shore" will be farmer Giles' field or what was the local High street...

no - it takes thousands of years for the sea to reduce rock to sand - all the sand will wash up in farmer giles field to make a new beach......
in reality, we are talking about a rise of 20-30 cm in 100 years - crap news for the Dutch, but not really worth mentioning as long as you didn't buy a beach house for the rest of the world

We will all be gone by then!
Meanwhile we are paying too many kinds of taxes, and not making enough use of our miserable "global warming" lives!!
We are fleas on this planet's ****, and it is scratching itself, so hang on for the ride!!!
But on a lighter note, I do think this is seriously being blown out of proportion!!

Seriously, I couldnt give a stuff... It's all a pile of bollocks IMO... I'm not having one bit of it.
I still believe that us human types have no impact on it so as its' just the warming of the sun, changing our climate, there's not much point in worrynig about it...

Apparently if GW continues billions of gallons of frsh water dumped into Arctic ocean from Russian rivers. This will reduce ocean salinity and slow down and eventually stop Atlantic conveyer aka Gulf Stream.

It's not our fault. Global warming is real, but it's mainly due to orbital variation, and solar activity.
The mean global temp for 300,000 years was mapped out back in the 1800's by a Serbian astrophysicist called Mulatin Milankovitch.
I've never ever heard any so called GW expert even mention the Milankovitch theory.

Love the fact the scientists say we have had a warmest period for a long time, I thought a long time was 100's of thousands of years... apparently a long time is just 90 years or so!!
Who knows, the next 10 years may just be the coldest on record

Anyone have any proof of the extent of man's contribution to global warming?
BTW Proof is NOT statistical co-incidences or logical fallacies or wrongly interpreting "contribution" as "causation" (bbc are bad for this and I think it's poor to source climate change issues from the beeb, there's an ulterior motive behind their "reporting" of climate change)

I agree totally with this all being about tax, this is just to cover the revenue being lost on **** and booze. where has the money been spent from the extra tax for people with larger size motors
, they get everyone into diesel then hoike the price up above that of petrol
. There is a calculation that we have inhabited earth that would be the equivalent of something like 3 seconds in a day, the climate has been changing constantly in the billion of years previous it is a very complex piece of kit and I'm sure a few motors, planes and cows farting arent gonna bring it to its knees

Think of the lives that will be saved,with milder winters the old aged won't be dropping like flies, and just think ,less crashes caused by snow and ice. He ,He , maybe even Big fat Gordy Brown will revoke the pensioners winter bonus payment and give us sunscreen instead. Also looking forward to car shows etc in the summer sun with less chance of rain,as we are all sick the rain ruining outside events.
Let the warming begin

Theyre forcasting 35degree heat in the UK this summer - and pretty much every other month seems to be a new record for temperature.
It really does look like global warming, and it looks like its happening a hell of a lot faster than initially predicted!
Question is what will be done about it? Probably very little as countries primary concerns are always their economy.
