Global warning con...
- 22 April 2009 14:4619957I wonder. I found this on the web. A lot has been said about melting ice shelfs in the Antartic to highlight the global warming story but that is clearly not the whole story. An interesting article appeared in the Australian. Quote..
"... while some ice-shelf melting is under way on the peninsula and in other parts of west Antarctica that may be related to global warming, ice shelves in east Antarctica remain intact.
East Antarctica is four times the size of west Antarctica.
At the same time, the area of sea ice around the continent is expanding, with sea ice growth in east Antarctica and the Ross Sea more than compensating for losses in west Antarctica. Contrary to public perceptions, parts of Antarctica have been cooling."""" Unquote
This global warming theory is becoming ever more complex and is clearly nowhere near proven. And, even so, that still does not mean it is man made.
I await to be convinced either way. - 22 April 2009 16:3719962Surprised you didn't blame the Labour Party Barry,of course it has nothing to do with the Tories
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble! - 22 April 2009 16:3919963or something like the Left Wing is melting,but not the Right wing
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble! - 22 April 2009 17:2219964Ahhhh,,,,, there is a thought JHG - Perhaps its Brown's hot air that is the cause, after all its the ice shelf in the west thats melting, thats on the LEFT when looking at the map
I knew there was a way to spin this against Brown, thanks for the pointer

I can never get the url button to work.... - 22 April 2009 18:2919968I have NEVER been convinced by the global warming arguments, and felt very alone in my views for several years. Then one day Channel 4 screened an amazing documentary that made me feel a little bit more credible in my arguments.

22 April 2009 20:2319976Have seen that as well as the various pro documentaries and they are all chock full of iffy assumptions, dodgy pseudo science and wild conjecture.
What we do know for sure is the earth has gone through a warm spell, perhaps coupled to a long period of high sun activity as well as human effects in terms of increased CO2 outputs, reduced sulphate levels in the atmosphere etc. I mention sulphates as these actually cause cooling an effect that has been known about since the 70's, though they also lead to acid rain. We also know that the recent high sun activity has come to an end which may lead to a period of cooling."Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." - James Dean
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
While loving someone deeply gives you courage" - Laozi - 22 April 2009 20:2719978The Great Global Warming Swindle should be treated as what is was - a television producers opinion writ large in the form of an impartial polemic. It was very heavily criticised for using inaccurate, misrepresented and out-of-context data. Many of the scientists interviewed were duped into believing they would be appearing in an objective documentary, then edited and used in manners to which they had not agreed in their contracts. This resulted in complaints to OfCom of gross misrepresentation by many of those interviewed. OfCom determined that in places the film breached impartiality and was outside the realm of established science.
My point is, the film should be treated with as much caution as Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth documentary, so don't be misled.
