Global Warming

[Rob W 0]

these sort of scenarios sell a lot of newspapers and TV bums on seats but realistically the world has been hotter and colder before and life has survived Ok

[Guest stevieintoon]

We're fucked

 

I've just watched David Attenborough's documentary tonight about the biggest survey on global warming ever conducted, and that is the only conclusion I can arrive at.

 

It doesn't matter what we do now, temperatures will rise in this country 1.5 degree celcius in 13 years time. 13 years sounds a long time ago, think of it in football terms, 13 years ago we were coming third in the Premiership with Cole and Beardsley up front. That seems like yesterday to me, and these 13 years will fly by. Eco systems are collapsing all over the world, I used to bury my head in the sand and think "ah it'll be areet" but it won't, we're fucked.

 

What Attenborough said though is, if we do something now, we can slow and in time reverse global warming if we do something now, but unless India, China, and the yanks do something now, whatever we do won't make any difference at all, and the three of them are all cunts, in their relentless pursuit of being the world's dominant nation.

 

By 2080 temperatures will rise by at least 4 degrees and sea level could rise 7m. Whitley Bay will probably be gone, Wallsend will be the coast, Jarrow, Hebburn just gone, nee loss there mind, Sunderland will be gone almost completely. Of the clubs in the Premiership, Charlton, West Ham, Fulham, Chelsea, Pompey, just gone. Honest I reckon it's ganna be like Mars within 300 year, and it's all our fault, there's no way of stopping it now. All these African countries like Nigeria (who's population will treble in 40 years), aren't going to fuck about with eco-friendly energy, when fossil fuels are a cheaper alternative, we're fucked. There's too many people living on earth now, never mind in 50 years time, if I sound like a depressing c**t the neet, that's how I feel. Everything is fucked, life has went doon hill massively in the last 15 years, we were better off in the 50's when no c**t had anything and the Cold War meant at least we could see our enemy coming.

 

I wish I hadn't have watched this show to be honest.

 

 

Didn't see it, but I do know nobody can predict this with any certainty, so sounds like a worst case scenario. Regards overpopulation, the population is now stabilizing to an extent. And Malthus got it wrong, didn't he? Oh, and we're mor likely to get like Venus than Mars in 300 years.

The population isn't stabilising though. It's stabilising in this country yes, as it does in most fully developed countries. Nigeria's population will treble in 50 years, and in general the world's population is expected to go up from 6 to 10b by 2050.

 

As for the worst case scenario, it's nowhere near the worst case scenario some scientists believe it's too late now, and we'll be gone in 50 years never mind hanging on in 80.

I was going to reply, then thought, fuck it - can't be arsed

you actually mean "doing the jobs we can't be arsed to do because we're too busy lying in front of the TV, drinking. and trying to read the "Sun""

Exactly, but more than half of the world is at the part of the population cycle we were at 150 years ago.

I'd say more widely available contraception was a far bigger factor.

That and being a big fat gayer is far more socially acceptable in developed countries.

and it could all be saved by building a dam across the river between N Shields & S Shields - the Dutch would do it for us in about 6 months

 

Thus creating a massive resevoir over most of Tyneside, the river won't just stop running will it?

[The Fish 10972]

the cliffs at Whitley are well over 7 m TBH

 

 

some of the denes will flood like at Seaton Sluice - and along the river Jarra and Walker would go but the main loss would be the Qauyside, the bottom floor of the Baltic and N Shields Fish Quay

 

 

 

not neccesarily a bad thing, would certainly deal with a few old scores of mine

I assume it's pumped out. Can't really see this plan working or being financed mind.

[Guest alex]

I think the Dutch might be preoccupied were things to reach that stage tbh.

you let the water out at low tide - or use windmills to pump it over the dam - like what the Dutch have done for several hundred years

Well, it would cost 20 billion quid to protect London in the event of sea level rises above 2 metres. Somehow I doubt us peasants in the North will benefit from dykes 3 times taller. Besides, it would be a disaster waiting to happen in the event of breach. Cheaper to move the city tbh (although most of Newcastle, including the centre, would be on dry ground anyway).

didn't Bush mention something about climate change in his State of the Union?

 

I'm guessing it would be more about pushing his agenda than an actual concern about global warming, but it's nice that he's finally acknowledging it

A very brief comment - they mentioned it on the news then played the clip and showed him say literally one sentence. Don't know if there was more to it than that in reality.

[Guest alex]

Annouced he was going to reduce gasoline usage in the US by 20% by listing some recommendations he's been receiving and ignoring for the last few years. Underwhelming tbh.

His stated motive was to reduce the US's dependence on oil from the Middle East, not global warming. What would an evangelical care about that anyway?

disclaimer:

 

although I thought it was obvious, the statement about jobs is not literal. If in doubt, examine the entire sentence as a whole, using algebraic representations if needed.

BBC1: Blame the Irish

 

the rapid increase in people blockpaving their driveways means that in times of heavy rain the drains get backed up spewing out raw sewage, leaving urban areas flooded with human shite

 

the example given being glasgow a few years ago. Couldn't see the difference myself
