Sounds plausible but the thing the gets my goat we have only had accurate thermometers in the last 100 years ? Measure the North Pole but that’s been under an ozone hole and as dichey says must also be affected by the earth wobble. plus when the romans i believe they were growing wine quite successfully ! I am not saying humans have helped but 50 years ago everyone was heating there homes with coal something does not add up ! anyway make sure you recycle you tin foil hat and everyone will be fine ! atb Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerCat Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I don't think ditchy is wrong. Its said we are long overdue an ice age. The poles should have flipped also. Global warming is clearly a thing, regardless of the cause and needs to be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @ditchman is spot on, and to be honest I am a bit blown away by his sudden attack of intellectual insightfulness 😆 The Poles have been over here washing our cars for over a decade, sending the money home, so maybe they'll flip eventually. Global warming.... well.... some places are cooling down, some places are seeing less or more rain... some are getting warmer... Our planet is never constant in terms of weather experienced in different parts of it. There are some people who say that "addressing climate change" is akin to attempting to interfere with the time of day the sun rises and sets. Was it really our collective choice of deodorant that closed up the hole in the ozone layer? Or opened it up in the first place? Should we really cry tears of remorse every time Greta gets on the telly? Should we just go along with Jeremy Clarkson's theory that it's all a load of nonsense? The climate/eco bandwagon has been jumped on so hard in the last 20-odd years that you really don't know what or who to believe any more.

Jim Neal Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I always wondered how they made Thermalite blocks... they just dig them up out of the ground?! Is there a Celcon quarry as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
