Co2 is it all just b*ll*cks ?
 

I'm reading an article on C02

"Of the 186 billion tonnes of C02 that enter the Earths atmosphere each year from all sources, only 6 billoion tonnes are from human activity. Approximately 90 billion tonnes comes from biological activity and another 90 billion tonnes from sources such as volcanoes and decaying plants.

We all being stitched up?

Yes, political and business agendas are behind it.

r32 - what's your source as some of the tree-hugging, sandal-wearing web sites state similar figures but with anywhere from 60% to 99% being man made. :rolleyes:

When they say 2% comes from the Uk in these doom and gloom reports is it 2% of 186 or 2% of 6???? I've never seen that figure - though never looked that hard.

PS: spot on kiwi ...

Oh, you've only got part of the story again. You forgot the bit about biological activity/natural processes taking 180 billion tonnes of CO2 out of the atmosphere annually.

r32,

Have you read this? You might find it interesting. If you are a scientific bent, you might like to link to his detailed explanation.

Telegraph | News | Climate chaos? Don't believe it

Most of the so called reports on Global warming rely on bad science, or in some cases they just make the data up.

Good article Charles - so if you extrapolate the temperature and the time periods suggested, the global temperature ends up looking more like a sine wave...

Just for a laugh, I like to ask a global warming "expert" to explain how much impotance they attach to the Milankovitch theory.

A good book on this subject is The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg. He outlines how the statistics used aren't checked, but still quoted as if they are facts. You end up with stats that are warped and essentially meaningless. It's a big book, dry in places, but worth a read.

That's probably the answer you'd get ..... :D

PS: search for other 'global warming' or 'climate change' threads - there have been a few ....

Whether it's true or not the whole issue is being exploited by Government as a huge tax raising regime under the guise of 'saving the planet'.

This "global warming" mularky is just a load of hot air! ;)

Get the terminolgy right - it's 'climate change'! That way they have all bases covered .....
