So Global warming is a myth?

[xerxes]

Before we had Global Warming, we were told that the great threat was of a new ice age. This thesis was supported by large numbers of 'scientists' until the 1970s.

It will be interesting to see what new theory replaces the current hysteria. Any predictions?

With the rise in sea level - you'll certainly need them.

Does that imply that you won't? Are you planning on walking on the water?

I always walk on water.

Too late for predictions or even why it is happening - it IS happening and it's happening NOW.

A quote from my local rag;
"There is no opinon, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace once they have come to the conclusion that IT is generally adopted"


And it was fkn freezin in sainsbury's this after.

 

[gremlin16]

We did.

How?

Unless you were around thousands of years ago.

 

[nickso]

at any rate there is nothing we can do about it so why worry?

You'll worry if the Greenland ice is next on the list. Armageddon has nothing over Mother Nature.

We can do something anyway - stop burning fossil fuel.

hmm no, im still not worried, since i still cant do anything about it.

Is the earth getting warmer, or cooler?

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/02/a_tale_of_two_thermometers/

Bear in mind that warming and cooling concerns are nothing new, as this alarming bulletin reminds us -
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen, Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

A RealClimate blogger? No, that was the US Weather Bureau in 1922.

We saw a global cooling scare in 1924, a global warming scare in 1933, another global cooling in the early 1970s, and another warming scare today. The changes the USHCN promised Watts won't help resolve anything for another decade or so, but perhaps future generations will be able to reduce the alarming increase in the number of climate alarms.®

Think back to when you were a kid. Colder winters then. Never see snow these days.

 

[matilda]

Colder winter years ago? I don't remember.

 

[Trazor]

Think back to when you were a kid. Colder winters then. Never see snow these days.

And that is a real indication of the world's climate over the past 10,000 years or the next 10,000........

Looking at changes over a few years is pointless.

Colder winters? according to my dad when he was alive the winter of 1947 was bitterly cold,the winter of 1962/63 was cold and snowy so its been 40 odd yrs to warming up,the doom and gloom merchants were /are a bit slow picking this up.Our sceptred isle is taking along time to catch up judging by this summer and last years.
