Hunter Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Yup global warming is fact, not fiction. Not many more years left of this wonderful planet. But maybe its time for a new start anyway.. we have destroyed many nice areas, we have destroyed ourselves.. and we have almost reached the top of technology.. I geuss its all going to be recycled for the next lot Imagine in 3000 years time, some wolly on top of a mountain digs up a fossilized B2 rifle, and it is kept as a high value historic item :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckytrigger Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Hard frost here this morning.. Another one forecast for tomorrow morning but i'll be up bright and early to try my new hide out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 We had a light duck frost here this morning. :( And I'm afraid global warming is happening. My geography teacher is the most down to earth person you could ever meet and he never believed it was happening until up to recently. The ice caps are melting but the sea levels wont rise yet as thermal expansion makes the water rise not the melting ice caps. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM Dont doubt for one minute we are going through a warming period, but in my book its more about natural cycles than man made emmisions? did the romans not grow grapes in northumberland to make wine wine and were the middle ages hotter than now? or is this conviently missed by the tree hugging yogurt knitting jobless ***** that call themselves greenies and want us back on horse and cart. cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Well the thing is (im not a tree hugger or similar) we are actually getting to the critical point. Once the sea hits a warm enough temprature the organisms fails, and the sea will no longer soak up 80% or so of the Co2 that it currently does. When this happens, theres no return. I hope very much that this is all lies. Otherwise the world for our grand children will be a very different place. Does all this scare me? Actually not really. It is written everywhere, it is talked about, and is comming true. We just have to deal with it properly.. Even if this is a load of rubbish, its still a good idea to conserve fuel.. because when that runs out.. global warming will be the least of our worries. Still, I have something close enough to being called a job, I have a bank account, a better half, plenty of guns as a hobby, im not going to let the media scare me like they try to do. I will live my life untill for whatever reason that possibility is no longer there, and il make the most of it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Here here. Simple geological records taken from land bored core techniques clearly demonstrate that there are natural cycles which just happen without any intervention from us. I am sure things we do have an effect but it is nothing like anyone says it is. You can make figures and statistics show just about anything you want if you try hard enough. The main problem here is that the people who come up with this stuff are dull as hell, their chosen field is dull as hell and if someone studies hard enough they eventually become so dull nobody can be ***** to listen to them any more. Once this happens the people at the top of these fields can basically make any old **** up and there isn't anyone else more dull to call them a liar. Take for instance Steven Hawking. Without doubt a genius and a very clever man, but desperately dull. You wouldn't invite him to a party would you? He has risen to a level in his field whereby he can just say anything he likes and everyone just continues to hang on every single word because nobody can be ***** to try and prove him wrong.

njc110381 Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I spotted a butterfly last week. Daft for this time of year. As for global warming, I feel it's just a government excuse to tax the *** off us for more and more each day. The world has been both scorching desert and freezing cold in the past. At some point it'll be back and we're all going to die. **** happens, get over it and enjoy life :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Nothing we can do really.. We could slow it down, and use less energy which will solve varius problems, but its probably to late to stop more global warming.. cycle or caused by man..

Bazooka Joe Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Out the other day, & some of the tree's up our way are budding already, Fortnight ago out with the shoot, one of the lads blasted a dray, & out pops half a dozen baby squirrels, It's certainly making an impact up here, eyesight in it.

tiercel Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Lovely pics there. Pity we do not see more frost like that. This is the reason for the frost, a ridge of high pressure. But waiting in the wings is this little beauty. Tiercel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Nice to see frost and to feel cold in Winter I went to Iceland (the country, not the shop) earleir in the year, and went out on a glacier while were there, this isn't a small one but it is receeding buy 100metres a year - I feel sorry for such a clean living country suffering from the way others in the world choose to live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
