grant Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Yes but, for every downside, there is an upside, the warmer the weather, the more often I ride my bike, which uses less petrol than my car, therefore, result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Although I am one of the sceptics (sorry but it's my nature) in the interests of balance, I think it's worth reading THIS ARTICLE in today's Independent - C4 accused of falsifying data in documentary on climate change.

Chinahand Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Just to say New Scientist Magazine has a special on Global Warming - it looks at alot of the questions that have been regularly raised in the various threads we've had on the subject. Our planet's climate is anything but simple. All kinds of factors influence it, from massive events on the Sun to the growth of microscopic creatures in the oceans, and there are subtle interactions between many of these factors. Yet despite all the complexities, a firm and ever-growing body of evidence points to a clear picture: the world is warming, this warming is due to human activity increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and if emissions continue unabated the warming will too, with increasingly serious consequences. Yes, there are still big uncertainties in some predictions, but these swing both ways. For example, the response of clouds could slow the warming or speed it up. With so much at stake, it is right that climate science is subjected to the most intense scrutiny. What does not help is for the real issues to be muddied by discredited arguments or wild theories. So for those who are not sure what to believe, here is our round-up of the 26 most common climate myths and misconceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Actually Chinahand, I've changed my mind. The well respected climatologist Stuart Peters suggested it was all rubbish to his listeners today, and I for one believe him! I think it's fantastic Manx Radio can afford to put a climatologist such as Stuart on the radio every morning to steer our population away from the lies of the vast majority of people actually qualified to make these conclusions. It saves me having to make my own mind up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starchild Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I think you'll find that that was Stuart Peters's opinion. They also give ample airtime to Cheryl Cousins and her lot on Dan Davie's show - talking about all manner of Green Things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Flynn Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I think Stu and Cheryl should debate the issues together. What about a Mannin Line with these two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I think Stu and Cheryl should debate the issues together. What about a Mannin Line with these two? Stu's shown in this very thread that his knowledge of the subject stacks up to about fuck all, which is why his comments on air are particularly irritating.

Charles Flynn Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 He knows what it is all about but would he be willing to debate it 'head to head'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starchild Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Nah Ans, I did understand the humour behind the post but was simply saying that although Stu Peters expressed his opinion, there is also plenty of time dedicated to people who think on the contrary.
