Climate Change

[Brigadier]

... Hottest year for the UK, you plank. It's right there.

You are utterly thick aren't you.

Aveatry might be thick, but he's even more rubbish at trolling.

 

[transam]

All exaggerated baloney imo

And even if it’s not

Nowt to be done or will be done about it

Adapt

Live under ground and venture out at night

Granted some will have a rough deal Bangladesh will dissapear under water ?? May be ?

It happens

Ski resorts will have to rethink there bussiness model

So on and so forth

Could be advantages though ???

You'd assume so, it would make sense after all.

But in practice if it happens it will be to anyone other than us. In practice a more energetic weather system means less predictable and that means worse for crops and civilized life.

Some parts of the planet might become more habitable than they are now (Greenland?), but that's no use to us in the UK. Even for people being forced out of Bangladesh it's not a simple win as you've now got to build all the infrastructure needed for hundreds of millions people who've just lost everything they can't ship out.

But I might be wrong, I've tried to think of any weather/climate change to the UK that would benefit us on the short to medium term. We're optimised for the weather we had 50 years ago.

We already plough over our crop fields to fit acres of solar panels -- to save the world, - energetic climate - more wind power

But I might be wrong, I've tried to think of any weather/climate change to the UK that would benefit us on the short to medium term.

We could grow more than turnips in the winter and not have to import so much food - apart from - we have concreted over the farms and fields to fit solar panels -- oops-a-daisy

I was around 50 years ago and the weather was the same as today.
In fact, in South Italy it used to be a lot hotter.

As someone who works outdoors and spent most of my life outdoors, I have adapted to different climates and I think people are getting carried away with this global warming, today its freezing outside, quick reality check it is winter. Summer is hot for a few weeks, get a grip and ignore these prophets of doom.

It's so obvious when you put it like that.

I know. It takes forward thinkers like myself to put complex issues into prospective.

 

[Charlie George]

I was always led to believe it was warmer than today in Roman times ?
Read an article a few days ago, that claimed global warming will cause a new ice age but in 100,000 years, another one claims, but for global emissions we would be heading towards a modern day ice age, they reckon the temperature has been falling for 200 yrs until the early 20th century.

Climate change seems like a good business

That's right look at the lovey of the left - the multi millionaire Dale vince who trousered UK tax payer money then used some of it to pay people to lie in the road and disrupt traffic and ambulances and pregnant women heading to the hospital so he could push his eco money maker even more.
Feel scammed yet ?

So completely ignorant.

There's a phrase in IT "Change is bad", it's mostly used ironically as IT people are almost always the sort that love nothing more than improving things, but the reality is that change breaks things.

Supply lines, the way you operate, seemingly unrelated systems. The more complex a system the more a change can cascade and disrupt it. The more optimised a system the more fragile it is to changes in key assumptions.

We've previously had changes to our climate, small ones as a rule, but changes. They were uniformly **** for the affected countries.

Again, look at how they take measurements, especially pre-2000.

You know zero and have zero knowledge in IT.. End of..

Wrong and ignorant -- as per.

Throughout mankind’s history the warmer times led to great prosperity and innovation, longer growing seasons lead to agricultural surpluses and population growth which in turn supported cultural achievements trade and expanded cities that flourished and societies had the spare resources to invest in art philosophy and technology.
In contrast colder periods were often disastrous, shorter growing seasons failed harvests and famine, Europe was struck by the great famine of 1315 during which millions starved due to relentless cold societal unrest grew - economies shrank and in many regions innovation stalled, cold harsh climates didn't just make life harder they made Civilization more fragile. Be careful what you wish for. And dont believe everything you are told by the very people profiteering from the "climate doom"
