Climate Change Latest Scare
« on: December 01, 2009, 06:59:21 PM »
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/dec/01/ozone-antarctica

In essence this report says that the hole in the ozone layer is repairing itself and once it does we are in big trouble because the lack of a hole in the ozone layer will cause temperatures to rise, icecaps to melt and sea levels to rise.

I may have got the wrong end of the stick but wasn't all the fuss about greenhouse gasses because it was thought that they were destroying the ozone layer thus allowing the nasty sun's rays, from which we are protected by the ozone layer, to penetrate our atmosphere causing temperatures to rise, icecaps to melt and sea levels to rise?

I do wish the fvcking climate change monkeys would settle on a story and stick to it.

Now  repeat after me ~ The Climate Change theory has recently been thoroughly discredited when it was revealed that scientists at the University of East Anglia, in concert with others, have been conspiring to falsify the statistics on which the whole Climate Change Lobby relies. Despite valiant attempts by interested parties such as Businesses that are banking huge sums promoting carbon transfers at a price, building wind farms that will never make a dent in our energy requirements and Politicians like Al Gore, Little Milipede et al who will be out on their ear when the truth is known, to deny what has been proven beyond reasonable doubt by the leaking of emails in which the scientists clearly admit to rigging the results of their research in an attempt to prove their pet theory, the truth is that the whole thing has been a gigantic con with little or no basis in real scientific fact.

Quote
Hundreds of private emails and documents allegedly exchanged between some of the world's leading climate scientists during the past 13 years have been stolen by hackers and leaked online, it emerged today.

The computer files were apparently accessed earlier this week from servers at the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, a world-renowned centre focused on the study of natural and anthropogenic climate change.

Climate change sceptics who have studied the emails allege they provide "smoking gun" evidence that some of the climatologists colluded in manipulating data to support the widely held view that climate change is real, and is being largely caused by the actions of mankind.

But then I have been saying it is all a con for years.

I think it is all a grand plot to get the ignorant masses prepared for ever increasing energy bills and not having cars when fossil fuels get scarce, which is not a fantasy.

If you can put in a Bogey Man of floods, starvation and pestilence then they will have to accept the costs, taxes and inconvenience more easily.

I'm undecided, has the climate has changed? it seems so, are we the cause?  probably, at least in part, does it matter?  shrugs:

It matters if they spend billions of our money trying to fix it based on bad science...

True. What pisses me off is the 'carbon footprint' malaky. It's seems that everyone that tells me I need to reduce my footprint (politicians, 'celebrities'  etc) all have a much bigger footprint than I could ever have.

And the biggest thief of all is Al Gore who lives in a mahoosive mansion with a carbon footprint bigger than a thing with extremely big feet...  cussing:

All very well but as someone put it:

the problem with that theory OH is they'll all demand to move here.

Just say no to their demands. Long overdue on that score...

It is certain that mankind is using up the reserves of oil and other commodities at an alarming rate. It will be a lack of these basics and our failure to make adequate provision to replace them with other technology that will have a bigger effect on us as a species. Evolve or become extinct will be the cry in the fullness of time but that message would not currently suit anyone whose income is derived from oil, metal ores or coal and gas. Next to this the climate changing, as it always has within an irregular but recognisable cycle, is very small beer indeed.
Of course the problem with the evolution theory is that we as a species think that we have evolved about as far as we need to. Not so I fear.

This explains a lot ~ if you are as cynical as me.
