I also heard they were very fond of using it as a means of torture, Pericles. Another good reason to ban the substance.

Yes Raw Maustard ,you cannot do waterboarding without it.

I still have an open mind on AGW,however I think it has been grossly exaggerated by both Corp and Govt interests to screw the masses yet again.Hence I will take my opportunities to drive the sword of reason deep into their deceptions.

Arjay, basic school physics/chemistry explains it all very well. If you add energy to a system, it gets hotter. As it gets hotter, water evaporates. The more water evaporated, the more it falls out as rain or snow, somewhere.

Ok, I've simplified a very complex system - but you get the drift.

Ergo, it does NOT go "against all devine climate law proclaimed by the intergovermental panel on climate change".

It reinforces it.

Bonmot;How do then explain the last 7-10 yrs of drought,if AGW is causing more evaporation,thus condensation? How do you explain expodential increases in CO2 in this period with no increases in average global temps?

Is global warming causing global cooling?

1. In Australia? Check out B0M - changing weather/rainfall patterns
2. Separate the signal (climate) from the noise (natural variability)
3. The globe is not cooling

Welcome bonmot, you are in for a hard time here.
Those who believe, include me, get little air ,oh we have our say.
But are rebutted even ignoring evidence,but such is life enjoy see you in other threads.
