Can't wait to play the game of the movie. |

I'm quite sad, my first thought was "A game of internet spaceships, **** yeah! That'd rock!" then i realised something. |

Originally by: Siobhan Amarr - you're the only 1st world country that didn't ratify the Kyoto protocol
Actually, thankfully Canada didn't either given the rather dubious science blaming humans for global warming.
I'm certain we're a 1st world nation and we rejected the same silly protocol.
Meh fecking board not posting right - retyping comment.
1> Even if there is no proof that global warming is caused by man, there is 100% proof that greenhouse gasses make the effect WORSE. Restricting the emission of greenhouse gasses is therefore a good thing no matter how you look at it. 2> For any given period of time you would naturally expect 50% of the planets/moons in the solar system to be getting hotter or colder, its called the law of averages. Most of the changes are not outside of natural variations. Earth's is. A increase in solar radiation would show an increase in the temp. of ALL or almost ALL planets in the solar system not just a few.
Trying to defend the oil industry sponsored 'research' that says 'oh no, feel free to burn all the oil you want, it won't do any harm honest' is really daft. Practically every report so far that came to that conclusion has been sponsored by an oil company. You don't think that might bias the results slightly do you! :)

Therein lies the problem - the actual problem is not perceived without political bias.
According to the economist magazine (forget which month), the sum total of all human contribution to green house gases is less than 7%.
Seven percent!
Which means all of the chicken little, sky-is-falling politics is bunk. This is NOT to say we shouldn't be responsible stewards of the environment, but it is to say using bad science and bad politics to justify stupid unfounded and illogical policies is just plain stupid.
If this were 900-1300 AD, we'd be blaming our horses for their green-house gas emissions which caused the Medieval Warm Period (MWP). That too, would be a load of horse manure.

If it were the medieval period we would be buring the witches as they were obvioslly the cause of the problem.
and yes using BS science and omissions to push a political agenda is quite a pantload. Awww Nuts. |

7% is MASSIVE!!!
Lets use a EVE based example here.
Lets say you are taking 1000 DPS of damage(greenhouse gasses produced) with a 1000 DPS tank(ocean gas absorbsion e.t.c.) with a EHP of 30,000
Now we increase the damage by just 7% thats 1070 damage per second. Instead of tanking the damage you now will be dead in 7 minutes and 8 seconds. A huge difference just from 7%.
Yes the 'OMG we are all going to die in the next few years' people are just as bad as the 'Theres no global warming' group, that doesn't mean that there isn't a reason to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to the levels the planet can sustain indefinably. |

I think we are both advocating moderation, from slightly opposite points of view.
Climatological history is a bit like the stock market. There are short, medium and long term trends - all none deterministic. All unpredictable.
The fact that we had a Medieval Warm Period shows that this is a non-deterministic dynamic system.
Like the stock market, we can see short term trends, after the fact; like we can see medium and long term trends, also after the fact. Try to predict these trends, and all credibility is completely lost.
Fact is that we've only recorded climatological temperature for what 100 years? Before that, the data is completely reconstructed. What's rule number one of making observations in science? (Use the same measure to measure all data).
We've seen a recent warming trend. There is no science in the world that can show this to be unusual (without making itself look dubious).
No one disputes that we've seen warming. People dispute that any of this is effected by us, in any way shape or form.
Here's what we do know:
I agree we must live sustainably, but because that is the right thing to do - not because our climate depends upon it!

The best rumor to date....
Walking in stations has been postponed another two years.
