"over the past 2 centuries of rising temperatures has seen a 10 fold plus increase in food supply."

What an amazing coincidence, the population of Earth has increased at roughly the same rate!

How lucky is that?

One benefit is that boats won't become trapped under the Sydney opera House and so the cladding can be removed as Utzon intended. The music shell will then seem to float on the waters.
"One of Utzon’s options for the skirts of the broadwalk involved short cladding panels which did not extend to the water line, thus revealing the pile structure below . As this strip would be mostly cast in deep shadow, it would produce an intentional dark underlining to the podium. The solution chosen by Hall, Todd and Littlemore continued the precast skirting below the low water mark. This was partly an aesthetic preference and partly a result of Maritime Services Board advice that an open front in the disturbed waters round Bennelong Point could trap and endanger small boats ."

Tony 153. Thanks for getting us Trump! Your elitist claptrap was why us average Joe's and Josephine's do not trust you at all.
Forty years ago up to the minute peer reviewed scientists convinced politicians that diesel powered vehicles were cleaner than petrol. Forty years later they say they are not, in fact much worse? No inquest in who said what, just another pay day for the filthy corrupt scientists, again!
No funding, in fact let us start putting in a tax bond for scientist so when the technology gets changed they lose their pensions?

We could easily do this discussion by Austpost and avoid slow NBN , ads , wrist damage and electronic cancers.

Billyd,

"So writing "temperature starts rising exponentially" translates into "rapid sea level rise"?"

You parodied my views through an inappropriate segue without regards to my actual views and I replied in kind. My fault...I keep forgetting that with the self-righteous such things are a one-way street.

"What an amazing coincidence, the population of Earth has increased at roughly the same rate!"

Well actually the increase in food production has outpaced that of population increase so per capita calorie availability has increased over time. The point is that this occurred while temperatures increased. But to the serially (cereally?) alarmed this 200 year trend will miraculously reverse any time now. It seems not to matter to them that such predictions have always been wrong

The estimated population of the Earth 200 years ago is around 800 million, today it is 7.4 billion, so close to ten times.

What happened historically to temperature rises is irrelevant to today. The situation now is unique, post industrial revolution, there hasn't been a time like this in history. Of course temperatures have been rising for thousands of years, since the end of the last ice age. After the planet heats up they will drop again, when another ice age kicks in, unless we stuff it up. In the past, temperature rises have been natural, the Earth had no help, now it does, us. What scientists are worried about is not the natural rise, it's the possibility of an exponential rise, and that the Earth may not be able to cope.

Anyone who thinks 300 years of burning fossil fuels, more and more every year, has no affect on the environment is a fool, they probably claimed the hole in the ozone layer had nothing to do with CFCs.
