Let's not get me started on religion.

Just read The God Delusion.

The world has a naturally occuring cyclical system of warming and cooling. Anyone who says that it isnt, and that it's just little old us thats causing it needs to get their head out of their ass.

Regarding politics? Bollox to the lot of em. "none of the above".


When we were a Kingdom it was run by a King
When we were an Empire it was run by an Empress
Now we're a country we're run by a..........

Well, since you have taken up my global warming stick.

I don't think humans have anything to do with global warming, the CO2 debate is a red herring.

Point one. Remember hurricane Katrina? Perfectly natural phenomena - just hit the wrong spot. That one storm contained more energy than mankind has cumulatively and collectively generated in power stations in the whole world since we have been generating power. We are but nothing compared to the forces of nature.

Point two. Does any of you have any idea now much as a percentage of the air we breathe is CO2? (Don't google it, off the top of your head.)

Having studied geology I know that human CO2 emmissions are tiny in comparison to those from volcanic activity, natural animal emissions, leaf rot and oceanic emission.

Interestingly, throughout geological history the CO2 levels haven't influenced the earth's temperature fluctuation, it's the temperature fluctuation that has inflluenced the CO2 levels so the argument is misunderstood. They've got it backward.

This is something I learnt 10 years ago and has recently been brought onto a more popular stage through the programme 'The Great Global Warming Swindle'.

This isn't to say that vehicular and industrial emissions aren't responsible for pollution in other ways. Christ, I can see the smog floating over Birmingham from my work window. Cutting emissions isn't a bad thing at all, and I heartily recommend things like car sharing, but curbing our freedom even more and inciting fear by telling us we're all going to die of cancer, drowning or thirst is rediculous.

My CO2 question was unclear :oops:

The CO2 component of the atmosphere we breath in is 350 parts per million or 0.00035% - plants need it to breath, so more must be good for them! By comparison, oxygen is 21%.

75% is nitrogen. But nitrogen fertilser bombs are higly explosive and that's what terrorists use. Aaaah!!! The atmosphere we breathe is helping terrorists make bombs. Ban nitrogen!!!!

My Co2 emmisions are a lot higher than that , it's all the plants I munch

That ain't CO2!

All the scare mongering about us releasing millions of tonnes into the atmosphere may well be true - but it's used as a stat because relative to us a tonne sounds like a lot, put in context it's not at all.

And why the hell don't we (living stuff) have use for nitrogen in any meaningful way - that's odd!

And what the hell happened about the hole in the ozone layer scam?

SO many questions...

The ozone hole started to close (although it may have been an anomolous event), hence it was raplidly dropped. There's very little evidence between the ozone hole and global warming anyway, so perhaps they needed another culprit.

Strongly suspect the hole in the ozone layer was caused by aliens as they made themselves a portal and easy passage to ground level. Being largely composed of ozone rather than our carbon they ingested large quanties of ozone in the portal creation.

They live in fridges by the way. Governments were complicit in the acceptance of the alien invasion - they even passed laws to make fridges and freezers ozone friendly.
