"And back to the original point... The climate has never stood still and man will never control.it despite the mad scientist claims" Yep , totally agree with you . Of course it’s natural . When the world wasn’t inhabited by humans there was cataclysmic climate change . The world was covered in ice and it warmed up . Totally natural unless there were ancient beings with fridges ( unnecessary then but who knows ) and dinosaur farts emitted massive co2 to mess up the atmosphere . It’s a big con and the mugs are the ones sucked in by it . | |||

"Natural... So all the peer reviewed scientific days is wrong, and random people on Internet forums are right? Because that makes the most sense..... ![]() This. Group think is absolutely rife, with the power ending up with those who take one side, with the others being frozen out. The meeting in 1989 led by Steven E Jones in which it was decided cold fusion wasn't feasible was essentially decided by a show of hands, and I agree that the way it was carried out was a great example of group think/popularity winning the day. Scientific consensus often doesn't appear to be much more than just politics in the scientific community. And they tend to get led by the money far more than I feel comfortable with. And when a consensus leans one way, the system is then biased heavily against anyone who differs, often getting shut down before they start. Everyone has to toe the line. Science (in general) often isn't as scientific as it's cracked up to be. | |||

"As I said earlier, until we stop digging up carbon and burning it, which a lot of the "First World" countries have been doing for many years, then it will come back to haunt us. We now have the technology to provide alternative power for every person on the planet, but we choose to put our resources elsewhere. It's a sad indictment of modern humanity ![]() . I work in the sector, we don't, were not even close, the bit we do helps though and given time we'll get somewhere close but until somebody gets cold fusion up and running which is an engineering problem not a technical one we're never getting off hydro carbons, let alone nuclear, or wind turbine or pv. All of which I hate to point out will have a c02 output still. | |||

"And back to the original point... The climate has never stood still and man will never control.it despite the mad scientist claims" Back to my original reply. You'd allow a scientist to resurrect a rhino from DNA so therefore trust science. Therefore you trust scientists to tell you their research is correct, and you support the claim man-made acceleration of climate change. You keep asking for specifics? Where is the 'resurrect rhinos from DNA' specific, OP? Don't have it? Then you support man-made acceleration of climate change, simples. | |||

It’s because some of us don’t give a fuck about bullshit , scientific bullshit at that . Science does a great job of proving what it wants us to believe . It’s certainly works as one can clearly see in threads like this . And before anyone asks me for evidence or facts that back up my statement , I can’t be arsed to final any . Because no scientists have been been paid to come up with scientific evidence to prove me right . But that doesn’t mean I’m not ![]() So what is your logic here? If scientists have funding from someone, the data / evidence is automatically false? ![]() | |||

Doh! ![]() Nope, they are not wrong that climate change is happening. It's no longer called global warming by the way. And they are not wrong in saying that any pollution we create will affect that change. But that is not saying that we can stop it by changing our habits. Pollution per person is massively down on 60+ years ago, but persons are up, the air is still cleaner in many parts of the world but climate is still changing. Nobody is actually finding an answer mostly because nobody is really looking. | |||

"How much c02 do we need to cut and in what time scale to save us from this catastrophe?. Nobody gave me an answer on the last thread Seeing as you are too lazy to read the links I post; Carbon pollution has to be reduced by 45% by 2030. " . I haven't read anything you've posted I'll be honest but I'm going to ask you for specifics again, reducing c02 by 45% in 11 years will save us from this climate disaster will it?. Is that a global reduction in c02 of 45% or just a UK one?. | |||

Doh! ![]() ![]() I think the problem is that many people seem to like yo choose which science they accept. The other problem is that science evolves...in many cases there might not be a definitive answer or that answer will change as we know more. Unlike religion ... scientists revise their theories as new information or evidence comes to light. As to the original question. Climate changes are part of a natural cycle BUT I am satisfied that the current situation gas been greatly worsened by human actions. Nita | |||

"So what is your logic here? If scientists have funding from someone, the data / evidence is automatically false? ![]() We are currently leaving the current ice age. For 85% of the time this planet has existed there has been no ice at the north or south poles. Therefore we are currently and have always lived in an ice age. That bit is natural, we are allegedly speeding it up, so I and I suspect many of you have switched to low energy light bulbs to save electricity, while some idiot decided we should use that spare electricity to power cars, thereby nullifying 10 years of reducing electricity demand. | |||

"So in the interests of research seen as none of the leftist could be arsed giving me specifics, a quick Google, well that just gives various media headlines the older headlines read something along the lines of 40% reductions by 2070 followed by newer ones of 70% reductions by 2040 followed by very recent ones of zero yes zero emissions by 2030. Oh it's all getting a bit tedious now. So I googled the Paris agreement, not much there except some promises to stop temperature going above 1.5 degrees but no actual science on how to achieve that. So then I googled again and it turns out the official scientific guidance is... Wait for it net zero by 2050!! Are these people even living in the real world?. That's just not even remotely possible. No wonder nobody wanted to give me specifics" In the interests of fairness, there are other benefits to parts of the agenda. For example, the quality of our air is fucking awful in pretty much every city in the UK. Neither of us would choose to buy a house that was built on our near landfill so more recycling is pretty good. I believe the omega 3 content of salmon is about half what it used to be, I don't know that cutting plastic out the ocean would directly solve that, but i know that fish and plastic don't mix. Broadly speaking, our economy meets our basic needs before 2pm so a few jobs for the boys in some nice tech industries to improve batteries and shit like that wouldn't hurt the old GDP. Other than going vegan and not having kids, most their suggestions were pretty good things to do anyway. | |||

"This thread will close soon as it will get too big and on balance most agree,even the scientists, that climate change is a natural cycle.. Maybe it's because the sun gets hotter and cooler..

The cycle is a long game probably played out through the universe. You probably don't want to be here in the coming Oxygen rich years, think 12' cockroaches etc. | |||

Exactly, the credit modernization act. Credit default swaps were immune to regulation, it's what the entire banking crises was caused by, add to that he also passed legislation that forced banks to lend mortgages to people who couldn't afford them. | |||

I have no idea what proportion of left or right wing politicians are religious, but suspect it's proportionately similar.

Bush was in charge!! Go read the financial services modernization act, educate yourself on credit default swaps and why CDOs were invented in the first place. It's almost impossible to be a demoract and a Christian and the last leader of the lib dems basically had to quit because of thought crimes against political correctness. You'd be hard pressed to find someone on the Labour front bench that isn't divorced. There are very few religious people on the left for some fairly fundamental reasons. Hence they create their own religions like veganism. | |||

Bottom line is it's happening, CO2 is going to rise, ice will melt giving perfect conditions for Convolvulus to take over the planet, which will consume massive quantities of CO2 and make an oxygen rich environment which will knock back the fast growing and give way to trees and air breathing animals.
