Saltings Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) ok had a bit of time over the last few weeks watched some scientist drilling for ice samples in the artic samples showed co2 emissions the sane as today the earth 3 degrees warmer than today sea levels 6m higher than today cant remember what depth or year they drilled to whos lying to us scientists have factual information all others seem to have an agenda electric cars carbon natural yes ship plastic overseas to be dumped or processed in Indonesia global warming seems the latest drum to bang another three or four years as history has shown all the ash from volcanos / bush fires gets in the upper atmosphere and cools everything down the climate is always changing mother nature its all there to research before google farm and estate records show rainfall / productivity not to mention monks in monastery's kept records of crop weather conditions way back into the 1600 and beyond social media seems to be the tail wagging the donkey I have seen changes in my lifetime and some of the same the extreme hot to cold to now my grandparents and parents have also seen and within those ice samples showed a high concentration of ash before a cooling down period we are getting there despite electric cars ( some one is lying to us) with an agenda Edited January 2, 2020 by Saltings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice map , sort of makes it look like half of Oz is on fire 😂 But its not is it ? Quite what some of those fires are burning with in the middle of the desert Im not sure, but lets just say that its all down to 'global warming' what do we do about it? Australia was a pretty hot place in pre industrial times, is it going to become a lovely temperate place if we all walk to work and ground all the planes ? Just how much of an 'emergency' is this climate thing, do we have 10 years to save the planet as some say...really ? Im told 97 % of scientists agree its all down to us, so why dont western governments take heed , go nuclear, or renewable over the next 10 - 20 years and do our bit to avert the 'disaster' , even though India and China with their multi billion populations , literally do nothing except make up carbon loss, we have painstakingly sacrificed ? I suspect its all about money , more than actual carbon tonnage (quite how they get these precise weights Ive no idea) I read an interesting article about mixing hydrogen into natural gas supplies this morning, and it was pointed out how expensive hydrogen is to produce. The argument was countered by the statement that gas was going to be more heavily 'carbon taxed' in the future, so it would be on a par with hydrogen ! So in the future , we might not be able to heat our homes in winter because gas will be too dear...but surely if the earth is getting warmer, we wont need to ? Rejoice people , those nasty cold winters will soon be a thing of the past, which is just as well , because otherwise you would freeze to death 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger-Mouse Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 As I understand it a couple of weather conditions, El Nino and the Indian Ocean Dipole have caused the weather in Africa to be unusually wet and Australia to be exceptionally dry. This is a cycle that changes every 3 or 4 years. I have also heard that green activists have stopped a lot of back burning that ranchers used to do, because they're afraid of dumping tons of carbon in the air. The government in Queensland has sold most of the water it has to cotton farms and as a result the rivers are running dry. All things that exacerbate the problem.
