Quote:The rises in temperature they quote just dont add up, like today for example was the hottest April 21st in Bangor in 95 years?
Quote:Yeah, I know, I say the same thing.That's why I said in my earlier post, whether or not it's real or not or maybe more accurately man made or not is kind of irrelevant. The world is undeniably going through a warming cycle at the moment but whether it's due to our co2 emissions is still up for debate.
Well in Scotland we have just had the warmest Easter ever. Beating the previous record set in just a few years ago in 2015. Both Northern Ireland and Wales have set new records.
It’s also the frequency of events, not just records, but general weather events. Both frequencies have increased significantly in the last couple of decades and appear to be continuing to do so.
The Greenhouse effect theory first emerged in 1896. It has since been proven beyond reasonable doubt that if you significantly increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere then global temperatures will rise. The vast vast majority of scientists are in agreement on this. Yes it is man made and no it is not open for debate.
You have to sperate weather patterns from global warming. This time last year I was out in the Scottish hills carrying and using my axe and crampons. This year they are already back up in the loft. But that does not mean that the earth has got 10 degrees warmer in the space of a year.
I find it puzzling that people are not bothered, or in denial. For me, well I don’t have any children and I’m getting on the old side – so hey ho – good luck with the global warming folks – I should be gone by the time the real fun starts. But this is the next generation we are talking about now. Don’t people care about their children?
And by the way I think it’s great that the new protest group challenging global warming have chosen to use the word extinction. I am thoroughly fed up with idiots talking about saving the planet. The planet will be better off without us to be honest and will slowly repair any damage we have inflicted on it. Combating Global warming is about saving our own asses.
