Global warming - what global warming

Temperature Monitors Report Widescale Global Cooling.

The number of sun spots goes down and the earth cools. Is it really CO2 that is doing the damage? I think not. :icon_wink

If you don't reduce your carbon footprint it makes little baby Jesus cry

load of bollux which I could not care less about......


But I prefer warmer weather so if it gives us that bring it on...

The earths temperature has been fluctuating for billions of years from extreme cold to extreme heat. Species that have been a lot more successful then us have been wiped out and so will we one day.

Only difference now is that the human species is arrogant enough to believe that it is the cause of climate change.
But let's not allow science to stand in the way of lucrative trading of carbon emission credits.

... or the taxes raised to counter "harmful CO2" emissions. :icon_roll

depends on your definiton of 'extreme'. it's been within 10 degrees C for the last 500 million years

yes, but the difference is, they weren't intelligent to know if they were killing themselves. we are and we still might kill ourselves through ignorance

yeah harmless CO2 isn't it, never causes global warming

that's why Venus is so cold

ironically, if the seas' currents change and the gulf stream is disrupted it will mean much colder weather for Britain especially in the winter

So, just to be clear, are you arguing that Venus is hot because of naturally occurring CO2?

Makes sense to me

Nothing to do with its proximity to that big **** off fiery orange thingy

"The enormously CO2-rich atmosphere, along with thick clouds of sulfur dioxide, generates the strongest greenhouse effect in the solar system, creating surface temperatures of over 460 °C"

I blame the foreigners

I blame the foreigners

It's them there damn Venusians with all their 4x4s

 

[four king power]

IH has to take some of the blame, blowing out all that hot air for how many years?

I thought the weather was much nicer under a Tory goverment although everything else was still shyte.

You're getting close to a yellow card DV, I'm not following your line of reasoning here at all.

So Venus has a lot of CO2 and is 2nd closest planet to the Sun, how does this relate to human arrogance that we might be influencing our own climate?

What percentage is it for CO2 in our atmosphere. :icon_conf

"Only about 0.03 percent of the Earth's atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide"
