Well Arjay as less and less oil, gas and coal is burned then less CO2
will be released, so as many people worry about it, they will have less
and less to worry about.

Long before the 2050 time that some worry about we will be trying to
get by on about 30% of the oil we currently use.
I think the point is that is a greater reduction than the IPCC & others
were planning for in their projections.

When the IPCC and other wake up to recent developments it will be
interesting to hear their attitudes. Governments could for instance
abandon emmission controls, carbon taxes etc.
Interestingly I have not seen any comment from the CanCom conference
about the Uppsala findings.
It could mean that no decisions are needed by that conference.

bonmot,<< I do feel I'm entering a 'snake pit' despite the fact I have other things to attend to >>

Firstly, please give some consideration to the poor snakes. Secondly if you have other things to attend to, please take your time.

Ok spindoc, got it:

1. You don't appreciate metaphors

2. You metaphorically tell me to 'piss-off'

No wonder people are confused :(

Bonmot.

Dont worry too much about some of the old snakes around here....they do mean well:)

Arjay: "There is an economic agenda here" - got to agree with you there (and Ottmar Edenhofer).

"We cannot trust any of our main stream parties,since personal self interest over rides sovereignty and the national interest."

Can I ask then, which NON-mainstream parties do you think we should trust?

True Blue
I'm actually quite fond of snakes, all shapes and sizes. Though as anyone familiar with them will say, you just have to know which ones are venomous, and which ones are not.

There just seems to be more venomous strikes and bile spits around than I ever would have expected.

Bonmot, what would you expect.

You come on here, declaring you are the new profit, here to lead us to the truth, then have the hide to quote the IPCC as if it was the source of anything even approaching the truth.

If you have that physics, I'd suggest you try using it, rather than defer to an organisation like the UN. Those who offer an organisation like the UN their future on a plate are sure to find a side dish of bull dust used to cover the hidden agenda.

So, after you bone up on the laws of heat transfer, try studying the Guardian report on the latest from Wikileaks.

Once you have absorbed that little lot, think again about using anything from the UN as a reference. If you're fair dinkum, rather than a fellow traveler, it will be the last time you do.
