Man made Global warming dominoes continue to fall.

[Park Life 71]

David Evans is a scientist. He has also worked in the heart of the AGW machine. He consulted full-time for the Australian Greenhouse Office (now the Department of Climate Change) from 1999 to 2005, and part-time 2008 to 2010, modeling Australia’s carbon in plants, debris, mulch, soils, and forestry and agricultural products. He has six university degrees, including a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. The other day he said:

 

"The debate about global warming has reached ridiculous proportions and is full of micro-thin half-truths and misunderstandings. I am a scientist who was on the carbon gravy train, understands the evidence, was once an alarmist, but am now a skeptic."

 

And with that he begins a demolition of the theories, premises and methods by which the AGW scare has been foisted on the public.

 

The politics:

 

"The whole idea that carbon dioxide is the main cause of the recent global warming is based on a guess that was proved false by empirical evidence during the 1990s. But the gravy train was too big, with too many jobs, industries, trading profits, political careers, and the possibility of world government and total control riding on the outcome. So rather than admit they were wrong, the governments, and their tame climate scientists, now outrageously maintain the fiction that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant."

100 points Cheznois??

Nil points.

 

Jesus wept Parky, you're citing a solitary scientist ('David Evans is a scientist!') who's been talking to Fox news ffs. The fact that he has six degrees and an irrelevant PhD btw clearly indicates he can't cut it in the real world of science.

 

As has been said before, I think the issue of whether CO₂ causes global warming is largely irrelevant now as we havce released so much of it already. The issue for me now is that fossil fuels are a finite source and we are heading for an energy crisis, so we have to find replacements.

Fox news You're slipping, Parky. You supplied the source

[ewerk 30616]

But he's a scientist!

I thought Parky only quoted eldritch beings from the 9th Dimension...................

Global Warming or no global warming. Humans have still fucked the planet over and they wont be here for too much longer in the grand scheme of things

[Jusoda Kid 1]

Another couple of years the way things are heading

[Kid Dynamite 7030]

It makes me uneasy that America is starting in on Libya and Pakistan now. It's only a matter of time until the Middle East gets pig sick of being occupied by another country and does something serious about it.

Unlikely to signal the end of mankind like. Think about how many people were killed in the Second World War man. I know there's nukes etc. but still. A massive meteorite, on the other hand....

[Kid Dynamite 7030]

True. If you start looking at things on a larger scale you realise that humans will be gone sooner or later anyway. The planet has had 5 mass exctinctions so far, a 6th cant be that far away, relatively speaking. Puts your usual day to day gripes into perspective.

 

You heard something about a meteorite?

I think I've said before that in my darker moments I think losing a third of the human race (or more) might actually be good from a big picture angle - the only thing that would do that is something as big as a meteor/comet strike.

No and fortunately Stevie hasn't made a prediction about one either. Yet.

[Kid Dynamite 7030]

When shite like this

 

 

is happening in the same world as stuff like this

 

 

I sometimes think killing 100% of the human race and starting again might be a good idea.

 

I do sit sometimes and think how atrocious it is that I drop £200 a month on car payments, £60 on Sky, £700 on a house etc. when theres a bloke a few hours away who has just watched his kid die because he didn't have clean water.

Agreed, I don't need my darker moments for that thought though. A big plague'd work as well probably given the ease and volume of global people movement these days.

 

Nature'll clean house, sooner or later.

Man-made virus from bio-warfare is another possibility - as in The Stand.

 

When you consider Spanish flu killed about 20m in about 1920 it would be "Interesting" from a detached pov to see how the increase in communication/travel would facilitate a pandemic.

[Guest alex]

I reckon it'll be Zombies.

[Renton 21627]

I reckon an alien invasion. I was daft enough to watch a 'serious' documentary on the NG channel about an alien invasion the other day. What a load of bollocks. Apparently, we are going to overcome our alien invaders by strapping on explosives and floating to the underbelly of the mothership using party baloons full of helium, and then becoming suicide bombers. That'll teach 'em. This was honestly the conclusion of the programme.

I've seen the trailers for that - I think both NG and the History channel fly close to the wind on their remit sometimes - History channel programmes on Nostredamus or the Bible being a favourite bug bear of mine.

There was a good programme on the Discovery Channel the other night about space exploration followed by an abysmal one about crop circles.

I watched the crop circle one as well.

 

Some right mentalists on it like, proper Parky old skool.

It was canny funny. The bits I watched anyway. Not as good as the Danny Dyer one about them though. Proper car crash tv that like

[Park Life 71]

Gosh some of you in here are propa genocide merchants, albeit part-timers. Not to worry the conspiracy community is rife that it's on the way. Man made airbourne virus is the current favourite. Sadly for you and me it will be rather indiscriminate.
