Josephus,

ALTRAV has given up and accepted defeat after recognising that he can no longer hold back the tide of public opinion and now realises that trying to keep pulling the wool over people's eyes about the reality of AGW has become a lost cause.

But how about you? Would you like to have a go demonstrating in your own words that AGW is not the only probable cause of global warming that can be correlated with the rise in mean global temperature over the past 240 years?

Don't be shy Josephus. Have a go mate! Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' Morrison and the boys are looking for someone to get them off the hook.

Same thing I said to ALTRAV: I bet you can't. I just need you to prove to us that you can't.

PS Folks.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for Josephus to step up to the plate.

He'll probably just go into one of his spins and start ranting like a Barnaby Joyce-like critter about God and not wanting government in his life and paying him for not wanting government in his life and about building dams in places where it never rains ........ You guys can fill in the rest.

Look out Rambo, step aside Arnold Schwarzenegger, we have a new action hero to worship - Hasbeen the Mighty.

It must have been a bit crowded on your yacht with all of those horses. But now we all know who was the real man behind Bart Cummings winning all those Melbourne Cups.

I bet Admiral Nimitz was glad to have you on board at the Battle of the Coral Sea. He couldn't have done without you.

And now I know where Mae West came up with the line 'Is that gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?' Hasbeen ........... you old devil!

"The Bush fires in Australia are believed to have spewed as much as two-thirds of Australia's nation's annual carbon dioxide emissions in just the past three months, with experts warning forests may take more than 100 years to absorb what's been released so far this season". SMH

Add to that about 400,000,000 tons of CO2 p/a from recent volcanos in our region. Australia normally emits 67,400,000 tons CO2 p/a That means this year Australia has emitted about 110,000,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. All this with the fact that our forest are loaded with dry fuel. Add to that release of gasses from regional volcanos.

Please tell us how do we:
1. Reduce forest fuel?
2. Stop bush fires caused by lightening?
3. Stop Volcanos releasing gasses?
Have a go Mr O.

Josephus, I admire your fortitude, in the face of constant annoyance and irritation by annoying mentally deficient "children".
I do believe there should be a minimum age or maturity or EQ level, set as part of the acceptance criteria to comment on forums, at least on this forum.
There must be a limit as to the amount and level of nuisance we are expected to tolerate.
Some people must be so bored, or else I can't think of any other reason why they would waste their time saying things that no-one cares about and treats with disdain and contempt, once having read it.
Oh well hopefully the moderators will give him a wake up call.

1. Reduce forest fuel?
2. Stop bush fires caused by lightening?
3. Stop Volcanos releasing gasses?
Josephus,
1. Annual cold burning !
2. Reduce the impact by annual cold burning !
3. If Nature didn't want volcanic gases, then there wouldn't be any so, stop worrying about something you can't & don't need to do anything about !
If we focussed on re-establishing Education then none of the above would pose a problem.
Understanding the difference between a real problem & an imagined one is the key !
