Jack Target Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.07.01 11:11:00 - [1] In the UK, it's July and I'm wearing a jersey! This has been happening for days/weeks. The temperature is only 15 degrees Celsius. Normally, it's in the mid twenties and we wear shorts. The UK has also had torrential rain with flood warnings in 31 regions yesterday! How can it be global warming?! Is global warming an excuse to increase taxes on petrol? Do some scientists talk about global warming just to get more research grants? I find it very hard to believe global warming exists now.
Joseph 9 Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.07.01 11:15:00 - [2] I could go throygh the science here mate but to be honest I can't be bothered. So I'll just suggest that you go away and read around the subject a bit. Extremal weather conditions are a predicted effect of global warming, and if/when the greenland ice sheet melts you can expect UK temperatures to get much much colder.

Jack Target Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.07.01 11:24:00 - [4] Yer, yer, I know - it's not cool to go against the hype. It's like a heresy. I seems those politicians/cranky scientists have thought up all sorts of stupid notions to explain how global warming is making us colder.
knifee Caldari Rage Academy oooh Shiny	Posted - 2007.07.01 11:35:00 - [5] :) there is a great theory that says.. if the earth warms up and melts the Greenland ice sheet, all the fresh water that gets dumped into the ocean will turn off the gulf stream. Once the gulf stream stops bringing warm water past the UK we (ppl in the UK) will freeze. Also warm air carries more water which can mean heaver rains. www.eve-dev.net - making a good thing better
Logi3 Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.07.01 11:41:00 - [6] Theres not enough recorded history of our weather to say if this is the effect of global warming. Although i highly doubt we are helping the planet much. Theres records that in south UK there used to be vineyards, now what does the temp have to be to grow grapes and produce wine? I cant remember how long ago this was, maybe 200 years.
Vladimir Ilych Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.07.01 11:53:00 - [7] As I understand it the more heat that is trapped in the atmosphere due to extra CO2 means there is more energy in the system. This equals more extreme weather events of all kinds. They have had almost no rain in California this year and floods in Texas. ItÆs getting a bit weird all over.

Although i highly doubt we are helping the planet much. Theres records that in south UK there used to be vineyards, now what does the temp have to be to grow grapes and produce wine? I cant remember how long ago this was, maybe 200 years. we have millions of years of evidence with regard to the weather patterns and climate composition, eg from the ice cores. the argument goes that the disturbing change in the last 100 years has been so rapid that it can only be explained by man made global warming. global warming is scientific fact. the naysayers are minimal, (you'll find this out if you read enough) and the arguments you can read trying to debunk global warming are all laughable. however, the internet being what it is, it is very easy to end up reading a lot of crap with minimal personal research that might convince you otherwise. do a bit more research and you'll see these arguments are mostly really old, like the wine 1 you mentioned, and the majority of 'smart' sceptics have conveniently forgotten they were touting these not so long ago. anyway this should be locked like all the other ones. no politics remember

Securus Amarr	Posted - 2007.07.01 12:44:00 - [11] Edited by: Securus on 01/07/2007 12:47:47 Often, when I'm confronted with arguments such as this, I tend to say the following: Global does not mean where you live, and warming doesn't mean you get to wear shorts. EDIT: I'm in the U.K., btw, and I'm also heartily sick of the trendy "green" movement and their windmills. Originally by: Tuxford Hi I'm the friendly content developer Tuxford.
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.07.01 12:50:00 - [12] Contrary to popular belief, global warming DOES NOT mean that it is going to be hotter. You may have noticed that this has been the wettest June ever recorded in the UK. Why? Well one explanation is global warming- global warming means that more water is evaporated off of the sea, which is carried by the gulf stream right over the British Isles. Indeed, if global warming goes the way that scientists predict, thee UK coul suffer a serious ice age while the rest of the world bakes. You see, the UK is on the same latitude as Moscow; the only reason Britain enjoys the warmth we get is because of the air flow of the gulf stream. Global warming would likely disrupt this gulf stream, giving us Brits a distinctly more Arctic experience. --------
northwesten Amarr Trinity Corporate Services	Posted - 2007.07.01 13:17:00 - [13] I find that there too much talk about global warming and not enough to help! Rising taxs etc but doesnt do anything! I not really that suprised that that not alot done! we just going to die in freeze or heat waves! While we just chatitng about it lol
Brisi Veto.	Posted - 2007.07.01 16:43:00 - [14] You're completely correct. Global warming means that all contries in the world should have 40 degrees celsius temperatures 365 days a year. Global warming is an excuse to increase petrol taxes. You do realise that global warming means that the average temperature around the world, will increase by 1-2 degrees right? And that the effects of it are long-term? it's not something that's going to have any effect that you'll notice at all. Not untill the gulf-stream stops and we enter a new ice-age ofcourse, assuming those scientists are correct. I'm not saying that global warming is going to have the effect that Al Gore says it will, and I'm not saying that it's a load of crock either. All I'm saying is, that someone (i.e you) should have the the good sense to do some research before you come here and rants like a complete moron. Have a nice day. Resistance is Fertile.

Normally, it's in the mid twenties and we wear shorts. This is what global warming does to our little corner of the world. - You keep using that word . . . I do not think it means what you think it means

This is why I can't take global warming people seriously. These ad hominem attacks do nothing to support their position. The possibility of human-created global warming is too important to be reduced to petty name-calling.
UPA Terf DEATH'S LEGION	Posted - 2007.07.01 17:22:00 - [17] Little known fact : Human beings (including our industry) create less CO2 than the following: Cattle (although it is our fault there is so many but i enjoy burgers so meh) Dying Plants and Animals Volcanoes Not only that but at the moment weather is following usual trends and yes it is British summer time where the weather can vary wildly within a few miles of where u are and scotland is always a hell hole. Thankyou ------------------------------ *~~Scorn~~*
Frezik Celtic Anarchy Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2007.07.01 18:02:00 - [18] Originally by: UPA Terf Little known fact : Human beings (including our industry) create less CO2 than the following: Cattle (although it is our fault there is so many but i enjoy burgers so meh) Dying Plants and Animals Volcanoes Plants and animals are generally carbon-neutral. In other words, they don't let off any more CO2 than they absorbed in the first place. The exception being plants grown through petroleum-based fertilizers, and cattle who eat plants grown through petroleum-based fertilizers.
Red Crown Kudzu Collective	Posted - 2007.07.01 18:15:00 - [19] Global warming isn't myth or hype or a matter of "Believing" it or not. Its there. Check the charts, it doens't take much reaserch to show that CO2 in our atmosphere is at a totally unnatural level. The weather may not be hotter, but it is certainly messed up.
UPA Terf DEATH'S LEGION	Posted - 2007.07.01 18:31:00 - [20] Edited by: UPA Terf on 01/07/2007 18:30:09 Dead plants and animals meaning the decomp. bacteria give off Co2 not the animals themselves and according to the charts as temperature increases Co2 goes up not the other way around ------------------------------ *~~Scorn~~*

Frezik Celtic Anarchy Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2007.07.01 21:21:00 - [21] Originally by: UPA Terf and according to the charts as temperature increases Co2 goes up not the other way around It's likely a feedback cycle, where more CO2 gives a higher temperature, and higher temperature releases more CO2. There's almost certainly a limiting factor, or else the temperature/CO2 levels would have run away to Venus-like conditions millions of years ago.
Araxmas The Blue Dagger Mercenery Agency	Posted - 2007.07.01 21:40:00 - [22] Anyone else notice how it is now called "Climate Change" so that it sounds less severe? -------- Robbie Rotten left me
Mtthias Clemi Gallente Infinitus Odium	Posted - 2007.07.01 21:52:00 - [23] Global warming, yeah fine, ill try and be more environmental, but this whole thing is starting to get on my nerves... Its like being told by your parents to do something that you know you have to do,m its just nagging and its starting to ** me off. And there is evidence to support either argument, and anyone ANYONE on either side who does this or acts like its obvious that one argument is right, Immediately IMMEDIATELY loses all credibility. Either way, The earth has been hotter than this, and colder than this the whole sensationalist aspect of the entire thing is completely unnecessary and i do believe that this is partly generated by those people joining the environmentalist movement from groups that are just being anti establishment for the sake of it. I heard some people the other day talking about how the rain must have been caused by global warming, i just went over to them and went "ITS ENGLAND! IT ***** RAINS!" -------------------------------------------- Stay away from my signature all of ya!!! IM WARNING YOU!! PEW PEW PEW PEW!

True it may have been hotter, and it may have been colder, but it doesn't mean we want it to be. Call me insane, but I don't really want to live in a world which is too hot / too cold to grow enough food for 70% of the population. And yeah, sure it always rains in England. But it's been the wettest June ever recorded, I'm told- thats worth discussing, surely? It's not just your common ******* RAIN, as you say. --------

My point was is that now because of the publicity and the way the media presents it, its like everything is caused by global warming! I mean people just assume that it is, i mean england is famous for being extremely wet, and even so people are saying the rain is because of global warming, im not saying its not cuased by global warming. And then there is the whole "anyone who doesn't believe me is being paid by an oil company thing" Thats like me not listening to al gore because hes heavily invested in environmental companies... -------------------------------------------- Stay away from my signature all of ya!!!

Dau Imperius Amarr	Posted - 2007.07.01 23:06:00 - [29] Let me quote 'Men Without Hats' "I like, when they talk real loud, try to tell you what they know. Say. I like, when it blows real hard and it doesn't even show. I like when they haven't seen a thing and try to tell you how to go. They say: It's plain to see, life is not a mystery to me. It's plain as day. Hope I got it just right anyways." You NT's (Neurologically Typicals) are still animals unfortunetly. You jump on bandwagons, take opinions and twist them, and then argue. Others simply pretend something doesn't exist. Or take the popular side. What is an actual fact? Good question. Don't have an answer for you. No one does. All we know is that one: Humans use petrol products and make carbon emissions. Heck even old coal and wood burning does damage, and that's been around for many a century, slowly adding up. Cars: Bad, bad, and did I mention bad? Your Air Conditioners, refrigerators used to (and older ones still do) produce heavy warming by-products. Has anyone seen Mexico city, Los Angeles, or even Christchurch (new Zealand) on a sunny day? Smog. The enviornment and how man lives in it is a factor some forget. Mexico City because it's a natural bowl that collects all the crap Humans make, LA because of the same reason, you can thank cars for that, and Christchurch because it too is a bowl that collected al the wood burning and it's only been less then 200 years. Global warming? Maybe. Whatever the name our planet's is changing. I've travled the world these last 10 years, and everywhere I go, people say: The weather's changing. It's more extreme or different then it's ever been. From Aomori Japan, Invercargill New Zealand, Sao Paulo Brasil, Toronto Canada, Cape Town South Africa, etc. The weather has gone nutter. (Anyone notice the sheer amount record number of hurricans in the last few years hitting the US East Coast for instance?) As others have said, rain in places where it's not normal (or in more extreme depths then ever recorded with floods), or extreme draughts in others. Colder/Hotter summers depending on your geographical region in the Northern Hemishere, and heck even colder/warmer winters in the Southern Hemisphere at the same time. Now, don't get me wrong. Certainly not going to say we're doomed. But something is going on. Ignoring it, or naysaying is not going to help. Mother nature is going to do what's it got to do to heal, and ice ages have happened before long ago in the past. That alone is a possible 'fact'. Just keep your mind open, and watch for all the changes. Not one thing is to blame, but there is the possbility that Humans and thier ignorance are deeply at the cause. to say otherwise is Human arrogance to boot.
Reiisha Splint Eye Probabilities Inc.	Posted - 2007.07.01 23:34:00 - [30] Originally by: lofty29 Global warming is bull** and if we're on the verge of an Ice Age there is nothing we can do now to stop it. Nature > man, and nature wont stop until its course has been taken. Good point. People tend to forget that there were ice ages before, and man had nothing to do with it. And suddenly we're responsible for 'the coming one'? Some of the things i read actually mention that we're due an ice age naturally around this time anyway, something with tectonic movement or realigning the planet's magnetic axis... Dunno for sure. What would be a good idea though, is to try and delay it untill we've got a rudimentary planetary treaty concerning resources, because what do you think will happen if the areas where all the stockpiles are suddenly freeze over and become virtually unaccessible? Too bad our world is ruled by 70 year old dkheads who don't care about anyone else, they won't be around to see their screwups anyway. EVE History Wiki
