In regard to man induced Global Warming I can recall other ten year droughts. I can recall other bushfires followed by floods. I can go to a generational family home with an 80 year old jetty and find no change in high tide marks.

Yet islands are sinking, ice caps are melting, glaciers are flowing again and sea levels are rising. Perhaps it’s a cycle, but is it CO2 induced, I can’t see it, and the ones that do cannot prove it without fudging the numbers.

Poirot, Thanks for caring about our environment but I sincerely believe that some of us are barking up the wrong tree. Our problem is POLLUTION and that will not be solved with the “cost effective” technology that industry now employ only because of legislation.

As I said previously 10% of the globe owns 80% of its wealth and resources….I want them to pay to implement the high cost technologies we have to capture and break down pollutants. We do have the technology, but it would double the price of manufactured goods destroying the economy……but the 10% who own everything have the money to do it, at the cost of a fair portion of their obscene wealth and ongoing profit margin.

Well our ABC is at it again.

Their environmental reporter last night, [I think she was court reporter last week], has picked up & is running with the nut case predictions of one of our government flunkies, that temperature "could, possibly, perhaps, might even" rise by 6 degrees by end of century.

I notice she is a lady journalist, so by definition requires a calculator to work out the change from 5 dollars for a bus ticket. You have to have no math to be able to make such statements, without choking on the words.

When even the OPCC, & the UK met have downgraded their forecasts for temperature increases, we still get these silly little girls prattling on, as if they knew what they were saying.

I wonder what the formula, dictated by out lovely Julia might be. I suggest something like one million extra funding, for every 10 mentions of global warming. Does that sound fair?

Brilliant, Hasbeen!

I love Mr Trumpet's habit of denigrating women....

"I notice she is a lady journalist, so by definition requires a calculator to work out the change from 5 dollars for a bus ticket...we still get these silly girls prattling on, as if they knew what they were saying."

That's about as reasonable as your announcement that you've "got the maths"(but not the scientific knowledge) to debunk the climate science.

Sorry, but you need more than an out-sized ego and a touch of misogyny to form a decent argument.

Belly>> Sonofgloin, your post to me was a sign you surrender.<<

Like Hitlers orders to Manstein...."no retreat and no surrender" still luv ya Belly.

>>That putting evidence on the table, that your views may not be shared by most is wrong?<<

Belly if I was pro sea level rises and someone posted ridgy didge figures that showed no significant sea level change in a 90 year period in my backyard, including a recent straight 10 year period having halving of the average to boot…..I would consider my position…..they who do not are wrong in premise.

>>You constantly inform arjay here in print, that he knows much more than most.<<

Belly Arjay is no dill, that’s all

>>I have my doubts, I too do not believe a word you print on this subject.<<

……and most other subjects I sprout on about, I might add….but I still luv ya mate.

>>Your rebuttal of my words, says you do not want me to post an opinion, yet you would execept no such view about your rights.<<

Belly I have been rebutting you for years, but you still respond…..many thanks.

Poirot>>I love Mr Trumpet's habit of denigrating women....<<

Hasbeen>> I notice she is a lady journalist, so by definition requires a calculator to work out the change<<

Thanks for pointing that out Poirot, I was just about to send Hb a nasty post for hooking into our journo's.

Belly,

I think it's time you got over your notion that if someone rebuts your opinion, that they're attempting to stop you posting.

This is a site for debate and discussion - involving opposing points of view. Just because someone disagrees, they shouldn't be charged with trying to shut someone else down....it's a disingenuous assertion.
