Gordon R Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I suspect a hidden agenda from someone who might or might not be aware of outside influences on his or her subconsciousness. I still await conclusive proof that any climate change or not, is due to mankind and not a natural event. Anecdotes don't really hack it.

I'd much rather see some actual sea temperatures, rather than the assumption, because there is fish there that shouldn't be there. It's like saying females from Newcastle wear next to nothing on a night out, so it must be warm, when it's actually about - 2 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's pretty compelling evidence however with the general consensus well in excess of 90% and since the new established benchmark for conclusive appears to be 52% I would have thought that should suffice. But just suppose somebody published a "conclusive proof" written in a formal specification language such as Z, how much use would that be to you and how would you establish it's correctness (a rhetorical question).

Gordon R Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Your patronising rhetoric says much about your self awareness or lack of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 As opposed to ridicule in the first instance then insults in the latter. I'm afraid this says much more about your cognitive biases than it does my own failings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not relevant to the original post? I'm more than a little lost as to why you are singling my posts out and also want gives you the authority to make these comments / instructions to me.

I'll go with that Many years ago an old friend of mine ( no longer with us ) was in Iceland on holiday and happened to be talking to a Icelandic where this came into conversation The Icelandic disclosed that Iceland had heated up many years ago long before motor vehicles and any other modern equipment Then returned back to it's present day climate even though it is volcanic The British Isles were Volcanic then the ice age came about by an comet hitting Earth 1976 is still the hottest summer on record due to temperatures maintaining 30 degrees and above for the longest period Even Last year did not hit such hieghts Thing was there was no mention of global warming and fossil fuel use ever mentioned in 1976 but regarded as a hot summer Fact is nowadays this is a great excuse to raise taxes to save the planet B*** S**** The goverment use this so called Green issue ( to reduce immitions NO ) to raise money through taxation But does any of this extra tax collected used to address any issues NO and does this deter anyone filling their cars or central heating tanks by any less NO Now alot of councils are having a taxation charge for deisel engines entering theit cities What happens to the buses and taxis running all day in such areas and how do businesses have there stock refilled and where is this money used to help the pollution issue Why as a bi- poduct is the petroleum companies not adressed by the government to make a cleaner deisel product As they can but will not But is put to car manufacturers to make their engines cleaner and more meaner apologise for my rant But it makes a change from the B word and the demise of labour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Romans were in Northumberland in the 1st century ad, it was warm enough to grow grapes for wine there, and I don't believe they had invented greenhouses at this point. Climate is dynamic, and yes global mean temperatures have risen a whole degree centigrade in 140 years, since proper records began, but that doesn't mean we have to lose our minds over it.
