OUG, you're killing my scrolling finger!

So, Hasbeen and SPQR, it must be fantastic being so certain that a massive consensus of climate scientists on AGW is wrong. My problem is I want my DNA to live on so I live by the balance of probabilities. Climate change mitigation strategies therefore appeal to me.

The stupidest thing I've heard is that a few degrees extra warmth is something we can live with, just by turning up the air-con presumably.

The salient point is that what is an average temperature change is not uniform globally. The 5 degree lower average temperature than today's that existed in the ice-age meant ice a mile thick where advanced civilization now exists. No doubt Australia will be bypassed the worst aspects of the opposite happening as we progress by degrees towards a higher average global temperature.

It must be so good knowing that God, not man, is responsible. It must be true, Rupert told me so.

Hi Luciferase,

<<My problem is I want my DNA to live on>>
Your DNA? what's so good about being 1 1/2 metres tall, and cross-eyed?

<<The stupidest thing I've heard is that a few degrees extra warmth is something we can live with, just by turning up the air-con presumably>.
Well, "we" certainly wouldn't be doing it if you had your way. In a brave new Luciferase world all the coal mines would be closed and all nuclear power stations would be banned-- so "we" would have no power.

And, since, "we" would likely be paying huge climate damage reparations to the rest of the world "we" probably wouldn't even be able to afford an air-conditioning unit in the first place.

<<It must be so good knowing that God, not man, is responsible. It must be true, Rupert told me so>>
Well,at the moment, even the worst of Rupert's tabloids is proving more credible than the IPCC!

sorry about all the scrolling
but i./.need to..scroll TEN-FOLD*..to find the stuff

funny enough..the same tenfold..
..of the difference..between winter/summer=40/degrees

ie 40 degrees..difference..
between..the hottest winter..hottest summer temp

what is 4 degrees
but 10 fold..

and thats how wrong..the prediction was..
as is soon to be proved to be..ie spin

[fear based..blindsight
fight/flight reflex
guilt..then tax

fact=fact
the sin..is the spin

You've got me ROFL about that midget joke.

I'm all for nuclear (thorium).

"....even the worst of Rupert's tabloids is proving more credible than the IPCC!"

Proving more credible? Interesting. Depends on your standard of scientific "proof"?

Ah, to think my DNA is now voted into the hands of people with your understanding of science (and with your desire to understand science)

Australia's chief scientist is on thin ice and might expect a late-night knock on his door if he doesn't sharpen up..
