Global warming - what global warming

[homer]

This incredibly hot, dry weather will be the death of all of us

Ignore it at your peril

Try saying that sarcastically to the Aussies.

You might think Viscount Monckton is a scientist. I remember him as a controversy-seeking mad Thatcherite who would say anything to get his face in the papers.

That's all very well, but Steven's picture was taken yesterday right at the bottom of Rutland Water

We're all doomed, I tells ya

Unless, of course, you turn your telly off tonight, instead of leaving it on standby

On the other hand you believe a serial fantasist like Al Gore. :icon_roll

Why would I believe Al Gore? All he's got going for him is that he is probably more trustworthy than a lunatic like Monckton.

He espouses the theory that "Global warming is occuring". You believe that and by extension you believe Al Gore. I trust in the facts and not a theory. :icon_wink

Strictly speaking, it can't even be considered to be a 'theory', a hypothesis at best.

Thats all well and good but think of the energy wasted making it all :icon_eek::icon_eek::icon_eek:

Are you sure? Monckton has been accused of playing fast and loose with data, and of pseudo-science. None of his rants have been peer-reviewed (i.e. checked). What facts of his do you trust, and why? Other than that you want to believe them?

And there seems to be a massive logical hole in: You believe that and by extension you believe Al Gore.

The arrogance of the human race amazes me sometimes.

We are nothing to this planet, without or without us, the Earth will continue on its natural course.

Nail. Head. Hit.

99% of all known species are already extinct. We're not going to be missed.

Although that's no excuse for ****ing it up now for all other existing species and future generations of humans.
