Scully Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 I like Wildlife programmes; I grew up watching them, but I much prefer to see the Wildlife than the presenters. Started to watch the above tonight ( missed the first episode ) but there seemed to be just as much footage of the presenters as footage of Wildlife. I don’t mind Kate Humble but I’d rather hear her than see her, but what really peed me off was when they started banging on about climate change and the effect it will have on the Wildlife.

I agree - but I think it a sure sign that the man made climate change believers/moneymakers are starting to loose the battle that it is man made, as some scientists are starting to question their "proofs" Edited January 28, 2018 by Yellow Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 If and when that bubble bursts at Yellowstone, they will then know what climate change is. I don't have TV so didn't see the programme but have visited Yellowstone and the surrounding mountains, one of the wonders of the world.

old man Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 It always amazes me, none of the so called experts ever mention the continuously emitting volcanoes or air travel? Always the little people shouted at for their lifestyles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I watched one the other week about the ocean floor under the ice, and one of the scientists after re-emerging from her submersible stated that the life forms ( after pulling up tufts to study ) were very scarce and their environment very fragile. Must admit my first thought was ‘well leave it alone then.’ I really enjoy the Blue Planet programmes, but they’re spoiled for me by the incessant harping on about climate change/global warming.

Rewulf Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Its not often you hear 'global warming ' these days, its all 'climate change' I usually say to the proponents of such, by what level ? How much hotter or cooler has it got over what period of time ? Never mind the 'man made ' aspect, its rare for them to give a definitive answer, or an answer at all most of the time. The usual retort is 'it just has' or 'everyone knows its getting warmer' 'all the scientists say so' 'its on telly' Sometimes I refer them to this https://news.sky.com/story/scientists-predict-mini-ice-age-could-hit-uk-by-2030-11186098 Or this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period Climate change, of course theres climate change, we have seasons for a start, thats climate change, and there isnt a damn thing you can do about it.

Except if you are a scientist, pundit, or "green energy" business man and then you can make a pile of money, which is why so many have jumped on the bandwaggon.
