Climate change, the ozone hole, and skin cancer - they're all connected : Comments

By Noel Wauchope, published 30/12/2013

And there's skin cancer on the increase 2 common forms, and the less common melanoma, and another nasty rare one, that is becoming less rare in Australia.

and another one - skin cancer research
Dr Cornelia Bertram, from the UWA School of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, will receive $24,000 towards her research into improved tea tree oil based formulations that can eradicate cancer cells and be used to treat superficial and deep skin cancers more efficiently.

"My research will also cover how this treatment works by examining what happens at the genetic level of cancer cells after they are treated with tea tree oil," Dr Bertram said.

<<My question to imajulianutter, and to those other "climate sceptic" commentators is this:Do you think that all those thousands of scientists are part of a gigantic conspiracy, or are they all just stupid?>>

"ROCKS DON'T FALL FROM THE SKY!" [The 19th century French Academy of Sciences]

So was The French Academy of Sciences part of a gigantic conspiracy, or was its members --the crème de la crème of their time-- all just plain stupid...or, milksops?

Noel there is no peer reviewed literature anywhere that links human activity as causing warming. It is stupid to say you believe in AGW by relying on something that doesn’t exist.

Show me the specific peer reviewed literature that proves the AGW links.

Show me how Artic and Antarctic ice expansion, as evidenced by the NASA photo, has occurred because of global warming.

With all the peer reviewed articles supporting AGW one of your 97% of scientists anticipated the ice expansion and has a peer reviewed explanation for it.

None of those organisations you list have any explanation why the ice caps are expanding during AGW.

All do agree the ice caps are critical evidence of changes in global temps. All peer reviewed articles on the subject assume receding ice is critical in climate change. NASA photos prove expanding ice.
Doh. You really are digging yourself a bigger hole, in the newly formed ice, with your insistence for peer reviewed literature to explain the ice expansion.
It is occurring because the oceans are cooler. Simple ice won’t form in warm water. It melts it. Why are the oceans cooling? I don’t know but all I did was propose a theory.
All you’ve done is recite all the old crap which doesn’t explain the ice expansion.

If all those other scientists take your attitude and refuse to accept the evidence of expanding ice caps and cannot explain how AGW is causing them then yes they are just as stupid as you.

Brian

According to your logic receding ice caps arecalso day to day weather and not indicative of climate change?

Say that to your AGW scientist mates.

After you introduced global warming into a discussion why are you now so desperate to return to the other issues about skin cancer?

So ok.

Do you agree if when I say we are probably entering a period of global cooling that the prevalence of skin cancers will reduce?

Lol cheers, you clowns really are fun.

‘the Abbott government no longer seems to know or care, about climate change.’
What’s that got to do with skin cancers?

‘Science is finding new connections between global warming and the ozone hole, and skin cancer, especially in Australia.’
You made these assertions and did not back them up with any peer reviewed references.

‘Global warming is happening’
Really? I think global cooling is happening.

‘This article is not attempting to say that by addressing climate change, we are going to prevent skin cancer, although it is pretty clear that the faster Australia heats up, the greater will be the incidence of skin cancer. (So, on that basis alone, it would be a good idea to get on to a global drive to fight climate change.)’
No of course addressing climate change (inference warming) won’t prevent skin cancers but you did say that warming is influential in the increasing incidence of skin cancer in Australia.

‘But these rather frightening connections between skin cancer, ozone depletion and climate change are surely more reasons for Australia to take a leading role in action to slow the rate of climate change.’
That was your conclusion. And nowhere in your article did you supply any evidence or peer reviewed literature to support it.

And now you don’t want to talk about climate change.
Noel you really are being very silly.

News from a couple of days ago;

The sun has flipped over, the poles have reversed.
DEEP SPACE - SUN UP

The sun's magnetic field has undergone a total reversal of its polarity, which
marks Solar Cycle 24's midpoint, which is going to be completed in 11 years
time, NASA has revealed.

According to NASA, the sun has "flipped upside down", with its north and south
poles reversed to reach the Solar Cycle 24's midpoint.

Now, the magnetic fields have again started moving in opposite directions to
finish the 22 year long process that will end in the poles switching their
places once again.

NASA's Dr Tony Phillips said that a reversal of the sun's magnetic field is,
literally, a big event.

He said that the domain of the sun's magnetic influence extends billions of
kilometres beyond Pluto.
_-_-_
An interesting thought, as the current pause in temperature is around
20 years, I wonder if that bears any relation to the 22 year solar
polarity cycle.
Has it ever been studied ?

Just perhaps, if the people of the earth, mostly the west of course, were not wasting a billion dollars a day on global warming pretend research, there might be a bit more money to spend on medical research, & other more useful areas.

If you don't want people discussing global warming, don't bring the subject up. Make global warming part of a presentation, & those who know it is garbage will tell you so.

Just like the Fraud of the ozone hole being man made, [a trial run of the global warming fraud perhaps], now disproved, Global Warming will be disproved totally soon, as it is almost now.
