    Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if Honda are on the right track about wanting to invest only in new techs then this could be the start of the end of ICE in F1 racing. Or at best the end of ICE F1 racing being seen as the pinnacle
    of motor sport.

    It seems to me to be inevitable that ICE powered cars will cease to be raced at some point as anything other than historic curiosities, it's just the timing of when
    that will happen that is up for debate.

    I've now got an EV. Much nicer than petrol!!

    I think that's the whole point. They've probably been wanting to get out of F1 since year two of
    their McLaren deal but, the way Japanese culture works. there's no way they'd exit without a few
    race wins at least.

    Now they've got a half-dozen wins under the belt (and another year with RBR to go) they'll be
    thought of as successful rather than a joke.

    " we will directly challenge Merc from the start. Never underestimate
    the technology of Honda."
    When was it they announced that? last year? the year before or the year before that, or the year before that? :-)

    I do know a little of the Japanese culture too and Honda to quit F1 to
    focus on zero-emission technology is translated :
    "we are way too stupid to develop a competitive engine and way too
    arrogant to admit that."
    Look up what I said about it 5.5 years ago,
    they did even do worse then I expected.

    Renault, as the engine supplier with the smallest number of teams (1
    next year) is obliged to supply RB and AT.

    Wonder if Red Bull stays in.

    If they want to exit they'll have to sell the teams - shutting them down violates the new Concord-ish agreement, and I imagine the penalty clause
    is large enough to take the fizz out of that idea.

    If they are asked to do so. RB and AT are at liberty to do deals with
    other suppliers or even make their own as I understand it. I know they
    have rejected the idea of producing their own in the past, but there was
    no budget cap then, so some funds will be freed up to allow them to do
    so. They could perhaps buy the Honda facility and keep all the current
    staff.

    Yep, Peugeot e208. 180-200 mile range from a "full tank".
    It does between 3.5-4.0 miles per kWh and a kWh costs me about 15p (soon to be 5p
    with a new EV car specific tariff) so currently costing about 4p per mile.
    So about -u4 per 100 miles.
    Will save me c. -u1000 fuel costs per year.
    Charges at home overnight and gets me usually 3 days of commuting
    per charge.
    And the important bit - 8.1s 0-60 so pulling away from the

    It's the 200 miles per full tank and overnight recharge thing that kills
    the concept for me.

    When they figure out a standard plug-in 'battery swap' service that
    become mainstream, then it becomes more attractive. Or maybe just keep
    a petrol vehicle for things other than commuting or other 'round town stuff.

    This is a good time to punt work.

    Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if Honda are on the right track about
    wanting to invest only in new techs then this could be the start of the end of
    ICE in F1 racing. Or at best the end of ICE F1 racing being seen as the pinnacle
    of motor sport.

    It seems to me to be inevitable that ICE powered cars will cease to be raced at
    some point as anything other than historic curiosities, it's just the timing of when
    that will happen that is up for debate.

    I've now got an EV. Much nicer than petrol!!

    Is it total, 100% run on plug in electricity?
    What is the electricity cost to drive 100 miles?
    Yep, Peugeot e208. 180-200 mile range from a "full tank".

    It does between 3.5-4.0 miles per kWh and a kWh costs me about 15p (soon to be 5p
    with a new EV car specific tariff) so currently costing about 4p per mile.

    So about -u4 per 100 miles.

    Will save me c. -u1000 fuel costs per year.

    Charges at home overnight and gets me usually 3 days of commuting
    per charge.

    And the important bit - 8.1s 0-60 so pulling away from the
    lights is fun!

    It's the 200 miles per full tank and overnight recharge thing that kills
    the concept for me.

    When they figure out a standard plug-in 'battery swap' service that
    become mainstream, then it becomes more attractive. Or maybe just keep
    a petrol vehicle for things other than commuting or other 'round town stuff.

    geoff
    Its zero hassle plugging the car in on the drive; even if I had to do that nightly
    it's much easier than pulling up at a petrol station every 5 days or so on the way
    to / from work.
    My old petrol car's range was only 300 miles anyway (Fiat Panda) so 200 vs 300 isn't a big deal for me.
    And if I ever did need a larger range for a one off journey, I've banked -u1000 a year
    of savings anyway, so the net position would still leave me financially better off.
    There are zero downsides for me for this as a commuter car. I don't think I'd go EV for the family car just yet as we've got an 8 seater van which just isn't an option yet (at an affordable price) in EV, and when we're next allowed to travel on holiday the thought of travelling 1,500 miles to France with lots of charging stops doesn't seem hugely appealing. But again, the operating costs might mean it's cheaper to have a family car for day to day use and then hire something specific for big journeys.

    The govt. will find a way to tax it as soon as the revenue from diesel & petrol start to fall of significantly.

    It takes a lot longer than 90s to refill! For me at any rate it was 1min diversion
    2-3 minutes filling, 30s payment, 1min back from diversion.
    Not earth shattering. But when instead it's park at home, 15s to plug in,
    15s to unplug, it's still a lot quicker.
    And the diversion on the way home / to work to top up would always seem

    of old age long before a gas engine would wear out.

    mainly natural gas (42% in 2016) and coal (9% in 2016). ...
    The volume of electricity generated by coal and gas-fired power
    stations changes each year, with some switching between the
    two depending on fuel prices.

    I seldom go anywhere where I don't directly pass at least several petrol-stations, or within a few minutes diversion. Dunno about others,

    What is the electricity cost to drive 100 miles?
    Yep, Peugeot e208. 180-200 mile range from a "full tank".

    It does between 3.5-4.0 miles per kWh and a kWh costs me about 15p (soon to be 5p
    with a new EV car specific tariff) so currently costing about 4p per mile.

    So about -u4 per 100 miles.

    Will save me c. -u1000 fuel costs per year.

    Charges at home overnight and gets me usually 3 days of commuting
    per charge.

    And the important bit - 8.1s 0-60 so pulling away from the
    lights is fun!

    It's the 200 miles per full tank and overnight recharge thing that kills >>>>> the concept for me.

    Its zero hassle plugging the car in on the drive; even if I had to do that nightly
    it's much easier than pulling up at a petrol station every 5 days or so on the way
    to / from work.

    My old petrol car's range was only 300 miles anyway (Fiat Panda) so 200 vs 300
    isn't a big deal for me.
    Then 90 seconds to refill it, then another 300 miles, and another 90
    seconds, and so on ...



    geoff
    It takes a lot longer than 90s to refill!-a For me at any rate it was 1min diversion
    2-3 minutes filling, 30s payment, 1min back from diversion.

    Not earth shattering.-a But when instead it's park at home, 15s to plug in, >> 15s to unplug, it's still a lot quicker.

    Um, you forgot something totally insignificant - like the hours of charging between plugging in and
    out !

    What does it matter if you're asleep / eating / shagging?

    And the diversion on the way home / to work to top up would always seem
    to coincide with needing to rush home / to work.-a No such dilemmas with the >> EV.


    I seldom go anywhere where I don't directly pass at least several petrol-stations, or within a few
    minutes diversion. Dunno about others, but same for most city-dwellers in my country.

    Yeah but then you have to mingle with people <shudder>.

    This is a good time to punt work.

    Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if Honda are on the right track about
    wanting to invest only in new techs then this could be the start of the end of
    ICE in F1 racing. Or at best the end of ICE F1 racing being seen as the pinnacle

    It seems to me to be inevitable that ICE powered cars will cease to be raced at

    What country & city is this at?
    UK, Manchester / Liverpool area.

    OK.-a I'm glad to see it appears you have thought this
    through and it financially makes sense for you.
    Best of luck.
    I opted away from that, because I felt since I
    am now driving so little, the battery would die
    of old age long before a gas engine would wear out.

    I'm caused to think of three things:-a #1
    Most of the UK's electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels,
    -amainly natural gas (42% in 2016) and coal (9% in 2016). ...
    The volume of electricity generated by coal and gas-fired power
    stations changes each year, with some switching between the
    two depending on fuel prices.
    Electricity generation | Energy UK

    So 51%. That means the other 49% isn't fossil fueled yeah? That ratio is also likely to change for
    the good in coming years. Also you can bet that, not having to be light and mobile, the power
    stations are more efficient and cleaner than a car ICE.

    "To all the green people with green cars...
    This is an electric charging station, powered by
    a diesel motor (fenced in generator - but possibly LNG). "

    So one sheep on facebook found a picture of an off-grid recharging station powered by a (likely
    cleaner and more efficient than a vehicular) ICE! That doesn't negate all of the others that partly
    or wholly get their electricity from renewable sources.

    and #3, on a recent day California Governor Newsom
    announced that they will ban sales of new gasoline powered
    cars, on same day as they were having electricity blackouts.

    I take it that you live in California then? That you're sure they can't get their issues sorted in
    15 years of technological development and that thousands of cars attached to the grid acting as
    buffers for all of the solar energy they're currently desperate to get rid of during the day won't
    change things?

    Will you still be driving in 15 years?

    I seldom go anywhere where I don't directly pass at least several petrol-stations, or within a
    few minutes diversion. Dunno about others, but same for most city-dwellers in my country.

    Yeah but then you have to mingle with people <shudder>.

    But it not Texas here, so unlikely to bump into texarserbate.

    He's just one of the worst examples. Sadly most 'people' (as in strangers with no vested interest
    in being nice to others) are arseholes these days.

    That said I was going through the KFC drive-through last night for a rare treat when I noticed the
    guy in front of me leaning over and rummaging in the back seat. I could see work clothes, a hi-vis
    jacket, wet-weather gear etc. He didn't pull forward straight away when the car in front left,
    instead driving to the left so he could get out and open the back door and continue searching.

    I figured he'd misplaced his wallet so got out of my car with my 'paywave' card in my hand and
    asked him as much, said I'd pay for his dinner (I'm by no means well off but I'd hate to be in that
    position). He said he'd just found it, thanks. When I got to the window the cashier told me mine
    was paid for by the guy in front (who was now long gone).

    That sort of thing's increasingly rare though (which is why I just mentioned it). ;) I enjoyed by
    chicken even more knowing there is at least one decent person still out there. --

    So 51%. That means the other 49% isn't fossil fueled yeah? That ratio is also likely to change
    for the good in coming years. Also you can bet that, not having to be light and mobile, the power
    stations are more efficient and cleaner than a car ICE.

    There is a dashboard showing live generation stats for the UK here:

    -a-a <https://www.energydashboard.co.uk/live>

    Thanks. So currently 40% fossil fuel then. The figures above are from 2016 so four years out of
    date, they probably fitted the agenda better than current ones.

    During the early part of lockdown it was announced that with lower
    demand there had been no coal burnt to produce electricity for several
    weeks. The total coal use in 2019 was just over 2%.

    Down from (apparently) 9% in 2016 (source - previous poster). That's a huge drop, a reduction of
    around 77% power from coal.

    Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if Honda are on the right track about

    I've now got an EV. Much nicer than petrol!!

    Is it total, 100% run on plug in electricity?
    What is the electricity cost to drive 100 miles?
    Yep, Peugeot e208. 180-200 mile range from a "full tank".

    It does between 3.5-4.0 miles per kWh and a kWh costs me about 15p (soon to be 5p
    with a new EV car specific tariff) so currently costing about 4p per mile.

    So about -u4 per 100 miles.

    Will save me c. -u1000 fuel costs per year.

    And the important bit - 8.1s 0-60 so pulling away from the

    It's the 200 miles per full tank and overnight recharge thing that kills

    Its zero hassle plugging the car in on the drive; even if I had to do that nightly
    it's much easier than pulling up at a petrol station every 5 days or so on the way
    to / from work.

    My old petrol car's range was only 300 miles anyway (Fiat Panda) so 200 vs 300
    isn't a big deal for me.
    Then 90 seconds to refill it, then another 300 miles, and another 90 >>>>>> seconds, and so on ...



    geoff
    It takes a lot longer than 90s to refill!-a For me at any rate it was 1min diversion
    2-3 minutes filling, 30s payment, 1min back from diversion.

    Not earth shattering.-a But when instead it's park at home, 15s to plug in,
    15s to unplug, it's still a lot quicker.

    Um, you forgot something totally insignificant - like the hours of
    charging between plugging in
    and out !

    What does it matter if you're asleep / eating / shagging?

    Matters quite a bit if I'm half-way to where I want to be.-a Could have a

    I've been telling everyone who would listen about how bad for society 'social media' is for years
    and wish I wasn't being proven so right lately. The speed of the degeneration of society has
    surprised even me and I'm not only a cynic but I expect the worst while hoping for the best.

    Of course, in many ways social media can be a power for good by keeping families in contact, reuniting old friends, stimulating interesting discussion etc.

    That's why I started a facebook account, to keep in touch with family in other countries. It didn't
    work so well so for ages I'd go months without logging in. However currently I check it every few
    days, mainly because my mother uses it (because my sister uses it hourly). Since we lost my father
    a few months back my mother's all alone so for that reason I'm checking facebook more often that I
    used to.

    but as so often happens, there are always people or
    organizations ready nefariously to exploit a useful innovation for their own political or commercial advantage.

    Like I said... People!

    Sadly, many of the poor saps who use Facebook fail to understand that they are not the customers but the product. The data they provide is sold to enable more and more accurately targeted advertising and, more
    disturbingly, political propaganda.

    Political and social propaganda. I mean how many people would have bought into the whole '5G gives
    you COVID' (and iterations thereof), anti-vaccination etc. before facebook? I just don't get why
    people promulgate theories like this. What is there to gain - other than the twisted satisfaction
    of knowing you've duped people?

    Anyone who doubts this should read Chris WylierCOs book rCLMindf*ckrCY or watch
    rCLThe Social DilemmarCY or rCLThe Great HackrCY, both on Netflix.

    Unfortunately the people who have heard and heeded the warning are few and far between. I fear the
    sheeple will drag the rest of us down with them. All I can say is thank the gods I'm in the latter
    part of my life and was alive in the 1960s and 70s when life, music and people were good (or better
    at least). Young people don't know much better than this reality.

    It's all about individual use cases.
    For me, my car is my daily requirement to get to work, and then sometimes in the evenings we run the kids around to various events etc.
    In this car (the EV) I will never need to do a journey longer than 100 miles as I
    have a diesel family vehicle for that sort of thing.
    It is self evident that charging a battery takes longer to complete than filling
    up with liquid fuel, but when there is zero consequence of that time for me then the decision for me is correct to take the lower fuel costs, the use of some reduction in fossil fuels (the UK is broadly about 40/60 green vs
    fossil these days, and moving in a more green direction), it can store some
    of the solar that my house generates too, and it saves me diverting to
    Tesco for cheap fuel, which I found to be an inconvenience. I'm no EV evangelist; EVs won't work for everyone, and there are some particular circusmtances of ours that mean that the monthly capital cost of aquiring
    the vehicle is absolutely identical to getting a petrol version of a similar spec
    car, so for us it was a no-brainer.
    And I can happily report that as something to drive on the one hand it feels and looks just like any ordinary auto-box hatchback, and on the other hand it is the quickest 0-60 car I've owned.
    Petrol / diesel cars aren't dead yet, and I'm not convinced that those who try to convince others that EVs are perfectly acceptable replacements for their family car are really living in the real world where the inconvenience of having to stop for 30-40 minutes to recharge the car every 180 miles on a
    long family holiday trip is a big deal breaker for lots of people. Never mind the business car users who are used to being able to drive the length
    of the country and find a quick and reliable fuelling stop after 300 miles of driving.
    But for me - a 42 mile daily commute, with easy on-drive charging, it's a complete no-brainer and is saving me -u-u-u.

    Petrol / diesel cars aren't dead yet, and I'm not convinced that
    those who try to convince others that EVs are perfectly acceptable replacements for their family car are really living in the real
    world where the inconvenience of having to stop for 30-40 minutes
    to recharge the car every 180 miles on a long family holiday trip
    is a big deal breaker for lots of people. Never mind the business
    car users who are used to being able to drive the length of the
    country and find a quick and reliable fuelling stop after 300 miles
    of driving.

    But for me - a 42 mile daily commute, with easy on-drive charging,
    it's a complete no-brainer and is saving me uuu.

    An interesting read thanks for writing it. I can see for your usage
    it has much to offer. Is there any sort of heater in the car for the
    coldest winter and do you yet know how much deterioration in
    performance there is in cold temperature?

    Yep, Peugeot e208. 180-200 mile range from a "full tank".

    It does between 3.5-4.0 miles per kWh and a kWh costs me about 15p
    (soon to be 5p
    with a new EV car specific tariff) so currently costing about 4p per
    mile.

    So about -u4 per 100 miles.

    Will save me c. -u1000 fuel costs per year.

    Charges at home overnight and gets me usually 3 days of commuting
    per charge.

    And the important bit - 8.1s 0-60 so pulling away from the
    lights is fun!

    What country & city is this at?
    UK, Manchester / Liverpool area.

    Well good it works for you.
    For myself it really does not, although most of my trips are well within
    the limits if a EV, sometimes ( regularly ) I have to travel about 500+
    km a one day.
    So I will not buy one before it can do 600 km in a worst case scenario.
    Then there are the costs per/km, it is more expensive here then a Diesel
    even if one can use the home power outlet, the costs are about 30
    Eurocent/kWh and a lot of additional costs for the power line etc.
    IF one need to refill during a trip, that is another major problem,
    there is no uniform plug and costs are pretty extreme.

    Yes, despite serious attempts by activists to airbrush climate
    history out of existence.

    What about the pollution being created to mine the minerals for wind
    farms and solar panels and what happens to these items after their
    short life?

    Wind power and solar are both intermittent, expensive and in the case
    of wind kills flying animals at an alarming rate - nasty things.

    Nuclear the only way. My only concern about saying that is that the
    woman from XR interviewed by Andrew Neil (or should I say
    slaughtered) last year has now left XR and is promoting nuclear. I'm
    with her now? :-)

    The problem is people these days seem to be increasingly carrying over their internet fuckwaddery
    into real life. It's like they've been being fuckwads for so long now on the internet that it's
    taken hold.

    I like to separate or not include the rCYpollutionrCo caused by
    generating electricity because that is up to the energy companies,
    energy CAN be made pollution free and the way it is generated can
    change in the future.

    What about the pollution being created to mine the minerals for wind
    farms and solar panels and what happens to these items after their
    short life?

    There is no difference between this an all other things so this is a non-argument.

    Wind power and solar are both intermittent, expensive and in the case
    of wind kills flying animals at an alarming rate - nasty things.

    Things can be solves and I don't know how bas is with those killing
    anymals, do you?
    Figures?

    Nuclear the only way.


    No it is not, and it is very expensive.



    My only concern about saying that is that the
    woman from XR interviewed by Andrew Neil (or should I say
    slaughtered) last year has now left XR and is promoting nuclear. I'm

    instead driving to the left so he could get out and open the back door and continue searching.

    I figured he'd misplaced his wallet so got out of my car with my 'paywave' card in my hand and
    asked him as much, said I'd pay for his dinner (I'm by no means well off but I'd hate to be in that

    It would seem so. Apparently, under the latest iteration of the Concord Agreement the engine builder who supplies the fewest teams (i.e. Renault)

    I should get you to spend a week with my sister who is a Professor of
    climate science. I reckon you'd learn something. I doubt she would.
    If we frame climate change in the context of whether we want a world
    that humans can comfortably inhabit in the way that we are doing today
    then things have to change, and we are undoubtedly making the climate
    worse for ourselves. 4.5bn years of climate change is an irrelevance when modern humans have been around for such a miniscule fraction of that
    time.
    In the long run, the planet will survive anyway, up to the point at which
    the sun destroys it. It's not about saving the planet - it will get along
    fine without humans to experience it.
    You can deny all you want, the science is such that any argument against
    it is already lost. You're now in such a minority that your opinions won't matter anyway.

    Ask your sister what she means exactly.

    In the long run, the planet will survive anyway, up to the point at which
    the sun destroys it. It's not about saving the planet - it will get along fine without humans to experience it.

    You can deny all you want,

    Like what Sir, the 4.5 billion years of extreme climate change?
    Or do you prefer to deny the varying CO2 concentration
    Or maybe the ice age at a CO2 concentration of around 4000 ppm?
    What exactly do you want me to deny?

    the science is such that any argument against
    it is already lost.

    What do you mean, arguments against science?
    The climate BS has nothing to do with science.

    You're now in such a minority that your opinions won't
    matter anyway.

    Actually it is not the minority but reality doesn't matter that is true.
    For your information, in science!!!! it is not about the number of
    supporters, you are confusing democracy with science.
    In science one need only ONE single fact or observation to definitely
    disprove a faulty
    theory.
    But you are right in saying that is not how it works in the climate
    religion.

    Call to authority then insult - OK good start.
    A standard left wing tactic.

    If we frame climate change in the context of whether we want a
    world that humans can comfortably inhabit in the way that we are
    doing today then things have to change, and we are undoubtedly
    making the climate worse for ourselves.

    Tell me what the ideal average planet temperature should be?

    Tell me in what ways that temperature is better than what we have now?

    Same with CO2, what would be a better level and what benefits would
    that level bring?

    4.5bn years of climate change is an irrelevance when modern humans
    have been around for such a miniscule fraction of that time.

    Right so something repeats in a pretty regular cycle for thousands of
    years and then suddenly the reason the cycle follows it's normal path
    now is not due to the same cause it's because man has added a
    piffling little extra CO2 into the atmosphere which makes a slight
    attempt to restore normal CO2 levels. Most of the planets known
    history, CO2 was far higher than today.

    How do you know humans have any baring on this?

    We've had most of the year shut down especially that great satan air
    traffic. Yet have you seen the graphs for CO2? No change in the rate
    of increase, funny that. So even if the cause was CO2, prove man is
    the cause.

    There is NO proof that CO2 is causing CC in the real world, if there
    was, it would be documented everywhere, it isn't. It has been shown
    that CO2 is a greenhouse gas in an enclosed and false environment,
    that is all. It has also been shown by many scientists that the
    frequencies of upward energy blocking that CO2 could provide are
    already pretty much fully blocked by water vapour and some CO2.
    Adding more CO2 will make little or no difference.

    There have been over 20 million years in the past with the world in
    an iceage where CO2 levels were over 4000PPM. You need to explain
    that. Clearly, you'll say it was for some other reason, then you need
    to explain with proof, why that same reason isn't the cause today.

    In the long run, the planet will survive anyway, up to the point at
    which the sun destroys it. It's not about saving the planet - it
    will get along fine without humans to experience it.

    True.

    It will also been fine when the media stop pushing the agenda and the
    nonsense about polar bears or icebergs or the lovely BBC showing us
    cooling towers for some reason, I don't think they know what they are.


    You can deny all you want, the science is such that any argument
    against it is already lost.

    You'd like to think so I can see that but no. Shut down opposing
    people and views - left tactic book number 2.

    The basic reason for the popularity of this narrative is the same as
    other dubious 'nobble' causes at the moment, the left's wish to
    destroy capitalism. At it's core this is politics using and
    corrupting science.

    This ACC crisis is a political one coming almost entirely from the
    left.

    You're now in such a minority that your opinions won't matter
    anyway.

    So why argue then.

    I've now got an EV. Much nicer than petrol!!

    Is it total, 100% run on plug in electricity?
    What is the electricity cost to drive 100 miles?
    Yep, Peugeot e208. 180-200 mile range from a "full tank".

    It does between 3.5-4.0 miles per kWh and a kWh costs me about
    15p (soon to be 5p

    So about u4 per 100 miles.

    Will save me c. u1000 fuel costs per year.

    And the important bit - 8.1s 0-60 so pulling away from the

    What country & city is this at?
    UK, Manchester / Liverpool area.

    OK.a I'm glad to see it appears you have thought this

    Best of luck.
    I opted away from that, because I felt since I
    am now driving so little, the battery would die
    of old age long before a gas engine would wear out.

    I'm caused to think of three things:a #1
    Most of the UK's electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels,
    aamainly natural gas (42% in 2016) and coal (9% in 2016). ...
    The volume of electricity generated by coal and gas-fired power
    stations changes each year, with some switching between the
    two depending on fuel prices.

    What's your proof that the generator is even connected to the

    And even if it is, so what?

    Does that make electric vehicles a bad idea in general? No.

    I should get you to spend a week with my sister who is a Professor of climate science. I reckon you'd learn something. I doubt she would.

    If we frame climate change in the context of whether we want a world
    that humans can comfortably inhabit in the way that we are doing today then things have to change, and we are undoubtedly making the climate worse for ourselves.
    Love your open minded view, starting with a fixed conclusion based on nothing :-)
    There's no "view" to be open minded about.
    The overwhelming conclusion from the science is that man-made
    climate change is factually happening. The challenge is in understanding whether that is a problem or not.
    The climate has continually changed over 4.5bn years.
    Undoubtedly so. Natural variations in levels of all gases and climate temperature has happened, and will continue to happen with or
    without human intervention. Indeed, at some point we may be able to,
    and want to, control global climates so that they fit human existence
    better.
    But what happened in most of those years is an irrelevance to
    you and me, and our children, our grandchildren etc today.
    If you want to deny the evidence of man-made climate change then feel
    free, there's not going to be any rational debate with you that will
    convince you otherwise. In a toss up between a Professor at a major
    UK University and a poster on a F1 forum in terms of who I faith in for credibility about climate change, I think I'm on solid ground taking the Professor's experience, research and conclusions with more seriousness
    than yours.
    4.5bn years of climate change is an irrelevance
    That is also an very interesting viewpoint, pretty absurd but
    interesting none the less.
    when
    modern humans have been around for such a miniscule fraction of that
    time.
    Ask your sister what she means exactly.
    Those aren't my sister's words, they're mine.
    I don't care about saving the planet. The planet is just a lump of rock
    on which various life forms exist today, and on which in the future different lifeforms will exist.
    My only concern is about the quality of life of my offspring and their descendents.
    Modern humans have existed for about 200,000 years, our direct
    ancestors maybe 6 million.
    That's between 0.004% and 0.13% of the time that this planet has existed.
    For the purposes of "the planet", that's insignificant, and by the time the planet
    is consumed by the sun the chances are that we'll as a species be long
    gone. So saving "the planet" doesn't matter from the planet's perspective. Keeping the planet inhabitable and society economically viable for foreseeable generations is what matters. If that's at risk, which the science clearly
    and overwhelmingly says it is to varying degrees, then why wouldn't
    any sane person want to ask "Is there anything I can do to help mitigate
    this?"

    In the long run, the planet will survive anyway, up to the point at which the sun destroys it. It's not about saving the planet - it will get along fine without humans to experience it.

    You can deny all you want,

    climate change; aren't you?

    I've got solar panels and an electric car not primarily because I've

    me cash, and as a side bonus some of those actions will
    result in lower levels of ancient CO2 being released into the
    atmosphere, which I understand to be a "good thing".
    You can deny the conclusions of the science all you want and pretend
    to yourself that you're super intelligent and can see through
    some massive conspiracy that is leading most of the worlds'
    scientists (not all, I fully accept that) to draw the same or similar conclusions about man-made climate change. Free free; I think
    what you're doing is risking harm to future generations, but what

    Well lets say it about ONE HUNDRED years ago that man made the very

    In the past 4.5 billion years the world didn't explode at CO2 levels

    do I know.

    You just have an opinion based on the propaganda we get shoved trough
    our throats 20 times a day, that is NOT science.
    It is just how it works, repeating nonsense over and over again and it
    becomes a "fact" except it isn't.
    There is absolutely nothing scientific or reasonable about climate
    religion, it makes no sense at all.

    You can throw in a few remarks about my intelligence - which is an
    insult - or accuse me of being some conspiracy theorist - which also is intended as a insult -.
    Let me return the favor, if you think that conspiracies do not and never
    have existed, you are a idiot!
    Mentioning such things is just a way trying to shut people down.

    I should get you to spend a week with my sister who is a Professor of
    climate science. I reckon you'd learn something. I doubt she would.

    If we frame climate change in the context of whether we want a world
    that humans can comfortably inhabit in the way that we are doing today >>>> then things have to change, and we are undoubtedly making the climate
    worse for ourselves.
    Love your open minded view, starting with a fixed conclusion based on
    nothing :-)

    There's no "view" to be open minded about.

    The overwhelming conclusion from the science is that man-made
    climate change is factually happening.

    No it is not.
    You most likely just repeat the 97% lie but by all means, ask your
    sister IF she know and if she can show you where this myth comes from.

    Actually, yes, it is.



    The challenge is in understanding
    whether that is a problem or not.

    The climate has continually changed over 4.5bn years.

    Undoubtedly so.-a Natural variations in levels of all gases and climate
    temperature has happened, and will continue to happen with or
    without human intervention.-a Indeed, at some point we may be able to,
    and want to, control global climates so that they fit human existence
    better.

    But what happened in most of those years is an irrelevance to
    you and me, and our children, our grandchildren etc today.

    If you want to deny the evidence of man-made climate change then feel
    free,

    There is no such evidence at all. There is no evidence the tiny bit CO2
    is a a major influence and you can be sure that the earth does not make
    any distinction between CO2 coming from elephant farts or from a human
    made exhaust pipe.
    The 4000ppm CO2 wasn't a problem is the past so why should now 400ppm be?

    Extremely different conditions.

    Temperature is just "rising like it has risen and fallen many times
    across the millennia": it is rising, much MUCH faster.


    there's not going to be any rational debate with you that will
    convince you otherwise.-a In a toss up between a Professor at a major
    UK University and a poster on a F1 forum in terms of who I faith in for
    credibility about climate change, I think I'm on solid ground taking the
    Professor's experience, research and conclusions with more seriousness
    than yours.

    Science doesn't work that way, now you are confusing science with religion.

    And since he's not doing science but opining upon who might be more
    credible, how does that matter?



    4.5bn years of climate change is an irrelevance
    That is also an very interesting viewpoint, pretty absurd but
    interesting none the less.
    when
    modern humans have been around for such a miniscule fraction of that
    time.
    Ask your sister what she means exactly.

    Those aren't my sister's words, they're mine.

    I don't care about saving the planet.-a The planet is just a lump of rock
    on which various life forms exist today, and on which in the future
    different
    lifeforms will exist.

    My only concern is about the quality of life of my offspring and their
    descendents.

    Modern humans have existed for about 200,000 years, our direct
    ancestors maybe 6 million.

    That's between 0.004% and 0.13% of the time that this planet has existed.

    For the purposes of "the planet", that's insignificant, and by the
    time the planet
    is consumed by the sun the chances are that we'll as a species be long
    gone.-a So saving "the planet" doesn't matter from the planet's
    perspective.

    Keeping the planet inhabitable and society economically viable for
    foreseeable
    generations is what matters.-a If that's at risk, which the science
    clearly
    and overwhelmingly says it is to varying degrees, then why wouldn't
    any sane person want to ask "Is there anything I can do to help mitigate
    this?"

    Well lets say it about ONE HUNDRED years ago that man made the very
    first exhaust pipe and "we" produced the very first CO2..

    In the past 4.5 billion years the world didn't explode at CO2 levels
    varying from 200ppm to over 4000ppm, what in the hell makes anyone think that the world will come to an end if "we" increase the CO2 level to 401 ppm?

    The world doesn't have to "explode" to cause us severe problems, you twit.




    In the long run, the planet will survive anyway, up to the point at
    which
    the sun destroys it. It's not about saving the planet - it will get
    along
    fine without humans to experience it.

    You can deny all you want,

    Like what Sir, the 4.5 billion years of extreme climate change?
    Or do you prefer to deny the varying CO2 concentration
    Or maybe the ice age at a CO2 concentration of around 4000 ppm?
    What exactly do you want me to deny?

    You are denyng the existence or importance of recent man-made
    climate change; aren't you?

    A much better way to say it is :
    YOU are denying 4.5 billion years of climate change.

    No, he is not.

    There is nothing new the last 50 or 100 years. It all happened thousands
    or millions of times before.

    Show when the temperature has ever risen as FAST as it is rising now.


    the science is such that any argument against
    it is already lost.
    What do you mean, arguments against science?
    The climate BS has nothing to do with science.
    You're now in such a minority that your opinions won't
    matter anyway.
    Actually it is not the minority but reality doesn't matter that is true. >>> For your information, in science!!!! it is not about the number of
    supporters, you are confusing democracy with science.
    In science one need only ONE single fact or observation to definitely
    disprove a faulty
    theory.
    But you are right in saying that is not how it works in the climate
    religion.

    I'm no keen greenie.-a Being alert to man-made climate change isn't a
    religion for me; it's just a fact which I need to recognise is part of
    the
    world I live in.

    As always in religions, it is just a fact, according to the followers
    that is.

    I've got solar panels and an electric car not primarily because I've
    got some mission to save the planet - it's mainly because it saves
    me cash, and as a side bonus some of those actions will
    result in lower levels of ancient CO2 being released into the
    atmosphere, which I understand to be a "good thing".

    You can deny the conclusions of the science

    There is no such conclusion on science.
    Show me the survey with the 97% scam and read it!

    all you want and pretend to yourself that you're super intelligent and
    can see through
    some massive conspiracy that is leading most of the worlds'
    scientists (not all, I fully accept that) to draw the same or similar
    conclusions about man-made climate change.-a Free free; I think
    what you're doing is risking harm to future generations, but what
    do I know.

    You just have an opinion based on the propaganda we get shoved trough
    our throats 20 times a day, that is NOT science.
    It is just how it works, repeating nonsense over and over again and it becomes a "fact" except it isn't.
    There is absolutely nothing scientific or reasonable about climate
    religion, it makes no sense at all.

    What makes the work of a vast majority peer-reviewed of scientists "propaganda" beyond your wish to claim it so?


    You can throw in a few remarks about my intelligence - which is an
    insult - or accuse me of being some conspiracy theorist - which also is intended as a insult -.
    Let me return the favor, if you think that conspiracies do not and never have existed, you are a idiot!

    Give an example of one such....

    ...just ONE.

    For the purposes of "the planet", that's insignificant, and by the
    time the planet
    is consumed by the sun the chances are that we'll as a species be long
    gone.-a So saving "the planet" doesn't matter from the planet's
    perspective.

    Keeping the planet inhabitable and society economically viable for
    foreseeable
    generations is what matters.-a If that's at risk, which the science
    clearly
    and overwhelmingly says it is to varying degrees, then why wouldn't
    any sane person want to ask "Is there anything I can do to help mitigate >>> this?"

    Well lets say it about ONE HUNDRED years ago that man made the very
    first exhaust pipe and "we" produced the very first CO2..

    In the past 4.5 billion years the world didn't explode at CO2 levels
    varying from 200ppm to over 4000ppm, what in the hell makes anyone
    think that the world will come to an end if "we" increase the CO2
    level to 401 ppm?

    The world doesn't have to "explode" to cause us severe problems, you twit.

    So, what happened? Besides that we have got more plants and animals?

    You can deny all you want,

    Like what Sir, the 4.5 billion years of extreme climate change?
    Or do you prefer to deny the varying CO2 concentration
    Or maybe the ice age at a CO2 concentration of around 4000 ppm?
    What exactly do you want me to deny?

    You are denyng the existence or importance of recent man-made
    climate change; aren't you?

    A much better way to say it is :
    YOU are denying 4.5 billion years of climate change.

    No, he is not.

    There is nothing new the last 50 or 100 years. It all happened
    thousands or millions of times before.

    Show when the temperature has ever risen as FAST as it is rising now.

    I did ask you first so hand me that data and we will see.


    the science is such that any argument against
    it is already lost.
    What do you mean, arguments against science?
    The climate BS has nothing to do with science.
    You're now in such a minority that your opinions won't
    matter anyway.
    Actually it is not the minority but reality doesn't matter that is
    true.
    For your information, in science!!!! it is not about the number of
    supporters, you are confusing democracy with science.
    In science one need only ONE single fact or observation to definitely
    disprove a faulty
    theory.
    But you are right in saying that is not how it works in the climate
    religion.

    I'm no keen greenie.-a Being alert to man-made climate change isn't a
    religion for me; it's just a fact which I need to recognise is part
    of the
    world I live in.

    As always in religions, it is just a fact, according to the followers
    that is.

    I've got solar panels and an electric car not primarily because I've
    got some mission to save the planet - it's mainly because it saves
    me cash, and as a side bonus some of those actions will
    result in lower levels of ancient CO2 being released into the
    atmosphere, which I understand to be a "good thing".

    You can deny the conclusions of the science

    There is no such conclusion on science.
    Show me the survey with the 97% scam and read it!

    all you want and pretend to yourself that you're super intelligent
    and can see through
    some massive conspiracy that is leading most of the worlds'
    scientists (not all, I fully accept that) to draw the same or similar
    conclusions about man-made climate change.-a Free free; I think
    what you're doing is risking harm to future generations, but what
    do I know.

    You just have an opinion based on the propaganda we get shoved trough
    our throats 20 times a day, that is NOT science.
    It is just how it works, repeating nonsense over and over again and it
    becomes a "fact" except it isn't.
    There is absolutely nothing scientific or reasonable about climate
    religion, it makes no sense at all.

    What makes the work of a vast majority peer-reviewed of scientists "propaganda" beyond your wish to claim it so?

    Well we are not talking about the peer reviewed data here because nor he
    nor you have ever seen such a thing.
    Apart from that, peer reviewed does not mean it is true. Followed the
    news recently no?


    You can throw in a few remarks about my intelligence - which is an
    insult - or accuse me of being some conspiracy theorist - which also
    is intended as a insult -.
    Let me return the favor, if you think that conspiracies do not and
    never have existed, you are a idiot!

    Give an example of one such....

    ...just ONE.

    The Watergate Scandal. Happy now?

    A standard left wing tactic.

    If we frame climate change in the context of whether we want a

    doing today then things have to change, and we are undoubtedly
    making the climate worse for ourselves.

    Tell me what the ideal average planet temperature should be?

    Tell me in what ways that temperature is better than what we have now?


    One where icecaps and glaciers weren't melting at a higher rate ?



    Same with CO2, what would be a better level and what benefits would
    that level bring?

    4.5bn years of climate change is an irrelevance when modern humans
    have been around for such a miniscule fraction of that time.

    Right so something repeats in a pretty regular cycle for thousands of
    years and then suddenly the reason the cycle follows it's normal path
    now is not due to the same cause it's because man has added a
    piffling little extra CO2 into the atmosphere which makes a slight
    attempt to restore normal CO2 levels. Most of the planets known
    history, CO2 was far higher than today.


    A measured significant increase - not piffling at all.


    How do you know humans have any baring on this?

    Head/sand ?

    We've had most of the year shut down especially that great satan air
    traffic. Yet have you seen the graphs for CO2? No change in the rate
    of increase, funny that. So even if the cause was CO2, prove man is
    the cause.

    There is NO proof that CO2 is causing CC in the real world, if there
    was, it would be documented everywhere, it isn't. It has been shown
    that CO2 is a greenhouse gas in an enclosed and false environment,
    that is all. It has also been shown by many scientists that the
    frequencies of upward energy blocking that CO2 could provide are
    already pretty much fully blocked by water vapour and some CO2.
    Adding more CO2 will make little or no difference.

    All veritably measured and attributed over the period in question. And
    modeled which clearly demonstrates cause and effect. Not by religious
    zealots, but by scientists whose aim is the accurate truth, whatever
    that may turn out to be.

    Next you'll be denying that CFCs affect the ozone-layer !

    There's no "view" to be open minded about.

    The overwhelming conclusion from the science is that man-made
    climate change is factually happening.

    No it is not.
    You most likely just repeat the 97% lie but by all means, ask your
    sister IF she know and if she can show you where this myth comes from.

    Actually, yes, it is.

    I wasn't talking to you but if that is your source, you are misinformed.
    Show me the info AND READ IT YOURSELF!



    The challenge is in understanding
    whether that is a problem or not.

    The climate has continually changed over 4.5bn years.

    Undoubtedly so.-a Natural variations in levels of all gases and climate >>>> temperature has happened, and will continue to happen with or
    without human intervention.-a Indeed, at some point we may be able to, >>>> and want to, control global climates so that they fit human existence
    better.

    But what happened in most of those years is an irrelevance to
    you and me, and our children, our grandchildren etc today.

    If you want to deny the evidence of man-made climate change then feel
    free,

    There is no such evidence at all. There is no evidence the tiny bit
    CO2 is a a major influence and you can be sure that the earth does
    not make any distinction between CO2 coming from elephant farts or
    from a human made exhaust pipe.
    The 4000ppm CO2 wasn't a problem is the past so why should now 400ppm
    be?

    Extremely different conditions.

    Show me, and tell me how the climate church changes their story about
    CO2 being the dominating/only reason for climate change then

    Show me where anyone has ever said that CO1 is the "dominating/only
    reason" first.


    Temperature is just "rising like it has risen and fallen many times
    across the millennia": it is rising, much MUCH faster.

    Oh really, OK show me the historical temperatures in a resolution of 10 years.

    It hasn't just been happening for 10 years, sunshine...

    <https://xkcd.com/1732/>





    there's not going to be any rational debate with you that will

    Science doesn't work that way, now you are confusing science with
    religion.

    And since he's not doing science but opining upon who might be more
    credible, how does that matter?

    Think about that question, I guess you can figure it out for yourself,
    it isn't particularly difficult.

    Certainly you can't answer my question, so I guess it was too difficult
    for you.

    Why should he accept YOUR opinion versus that of an actual climate
    scientist?




    4.5bn years of climate change is an irrelevance

    interesting none the less.

    Ask your sister what she means exactly.

    Those aren't my sister's words, they're mine.

    I don't care about saving the planet.-a The planet is just a lump of

    on which various life forms exist today, and on which in the future
    different
    lifeforms will exist.

    My only concern is about the quality of life of my offspring and their >>>> descendents.

    Modern humans have existed for about 200,000 years, our direct

    That's between 0.004% and 0.13% of the time that this planet has

    So, what happened? Besides that we have got more plants and animals?

    Where are a lot of our large cities located?

    Do you think that they can all easily accomodate rising oceans?





    In the long run, the planet will survive anyway, up to the point
    at which
    the sun destroys it. It's not about saving the planet - it will
    get along

    I should get you to spend a week with my sister who is a

    climate science. I reckon you'd learn something. I doubt she would. >>>>>>>
    If we frame climate change in the context of whether we want a world >>>>>>> that humans can comfortably inhabit in the way that we are doing >>>>>>> today
    then things have to change, and we are undoubtedly making the
    climate
    worse for ourselves.
    Love your open minded view, starting with a fixed conclusion based on >>>>>> nothing :-)

    There's no "view" to be open minded about.

    The overwhelming conclusion from the science is that man-made
    climate change is factually happening.

    No it is not.
    You most likely just repeat the 97% lie but by all means, ask your
    sister IF she know and if she can show you where this myth comes from.

    Actually, yes, it is.

    I wasn't talking to you but if that is your source, you are misinformed.
    Show me the info AND READ IT YOURSELF!

    And no reaction!



    The challenge is in understanding
    whether that is a problem or not.

    The climate has continually changed over 4.5bn years.

    Undoubtedly so.-a Natural variations in levels of all gases and climate >>>>> temperature has happened, and will continue to happen with or
    without human intervention.-a Indeed, at some point we may be able to, >>>>> and want to, control global climates so that they fit human existence >>>>> better.

    But what happened in most of those years is an irrelevance to
    you and me, and our children, our grandchildren etc today.

    If you want to deny the evidence of man-made climate change then feel >>>>> free,

    There is no such evidence at all. There is no evidence the tiny bit
    CO2 is a a major influence and you can be sure that the earth does
    not make any distinction between CO2 coming from elephant farts or
    from a human made exhaust pipe.
    The 4000ppm CO2 wasn't a problem is the past so why should now
    400ppm be?

    Extremely different conditions.

    Show me, and tell me how the climate church changes their story about
    CO2 being the dominating/only reason for climate change then

    Show me where anyone has ever said that CO1 is the "dominating/only
    reason" first.

    So you don't answer anything ... I see.


    Temperature is just "rising like it has risen and fallen many times
    across the millennia": it is rising, much MUCH faster.

    Oh really, OK show me the historical temperatures in a resolution of
    10 years.

    It hasn't just been happening for 10 years, sunshine...

    If you cannot show me the historical data from the last 4.5 billion
    years in a 10 year resolution, you cannot even know that.
    You can believe your church however.


    <https://xkcd.com/1732/>





    there's not going to be any rational debate with you that will
    convince you otherwise.-a In a toss up between a Professor at a major >>>>> UK University and a poster on a F1 forum in terms of who I faith in >>>>> for

    Science doesn't work that way, now you are confusing science with

    And since he's not doing science but opining upon who might be more

    Think about that question, I guess you can figure it out for yourself,
    it isn't particularly difficult.

    Certainly you can't answer my question, so I guess it was too difficult
    for you.

    Why should he accept YOUR opinion versus that of an actual climate scientist?

    Because science is NOT a matter of who to believe! Religions are




    4.5bn years of climate change is an irrelevance
    That is also an very interesting viewpoint, pretty absurd but
    interesting none the less.
    when
    modern humans have been around for such a miniscule fraction of that >>>>>>> time.
    Ask your sister what she means exactly.

    Those aren't my sister's words, they're mine.

    I don't care about saving the planet.-a The planet is just a lump of >>>>> rock

    lifeforms will exist.

    My only concern is about the quality of life of my offspring and their >>>>> descendents.

    Modern humans have existed for about 200,000 years, our direct
    ancestors maybe 6 million.

    That's between 0.004% and 0.13% of the time that this planet has
    existed.

    For the purposes of "the planet", that's insignificant, and by the
    time the planet
    is consumed by the sun the chances are that we'll as a species be long >>>>> gone.-a So saving "the planet" doesn't matter from the planet's
    perspective.

    Keeping the planet inhabitable and society economically viable for

    and overwhelmingly says it is to varying degrees, then why wouldn't
    any sane person want to ask "Is there anything I can do to help

    Well lets say it about ONE HUNDRED years ago that man made the very
    first exhaust pipe and "we" produced the very first CO2..

    In the past 4.5 billion years the world didn't explode at CO2 levels
    varying from 200ppm to over 4000ppm, what in the hell makes anyone
    think that the world will come to an end if "we" increase the CO2
    level to 401 ppm?

    The world doesn't have to "explode" to cause us severe problems, you
    twit.

    So, what happened? Besides that we have got more plants and animals?

    Where are a lot of our large cities located?

    Answer the question.

    Do you think that they can all easily accomodate rising oceans?

    Show me the rising oceans from the last 4.5 billion years.





    In the long run, the planet will survive anyway, up to the point >>>>>>> at which
    the sun destroys it. It's not about saving the planet - it will >>>>>>> get along
    fine without humans to experience it.

    You can deny all you want,

    Like what Sir, the 4.5 billion years of extreme climate change?
    Or do you prefer to deny the varying CO2 concentration
    Or maybe the ice age at a CO2 concentration of around 4000 ppm?
    What exactly do you want me to deny?

    You are denyng the existence or importance of recent man-made
    climate change; aren't you?

    A much better way to say it is :
    YOU are denying 4.5 billion years of climate change.

    No, he is not.

    There is nothing new the last 50 or 100 years. It all happened
    thousands or millions of times before.

    Show when the temperature has ever risen as FAST as it is rising now.

    I did ask you first so hand me that data and we will see.

    So I have to produce every single instance of warming in order to
    disprove your statement versus you producing a single instance to
    disprove mine...

    You don't understand. Let me see if I can dumb it down for you.
    SHOW me the data from the last 4.5 billion years so we can check your statement about that "Extremely different conditions" that you did not
    answer either.




    the science is such that any argument against

    What do you mean, arguments against science?

    You can deny the conclusions of the science

    There is no such conclusion on science.
    Show me the survey with the 97% scam and read it!

    all you want and pretend to yourself that you're super intelligent

    It is just how it works, repeating nonsense over and over again and
    it becomes a "fact" except it isn't.
    There is absolutely nothing scientific or reasonable about climate
    religion, it makes no sense at all.

    What makes the work of a vast majority peer-reviewed of scientists
    "propaganda" beyond your wish to claim it so?

    Well we are not talking about the peer reviewed data here because nor
    he nor you have ever seen such a thing.
    Apart from that, peer reviewed does not mean it is true. Followed the
    news recently no?

    No response?


    You can throw in a few remarks about my intelligence - which is an
    insult - or accuse me of being some conspiracy theorist - which also
    is intended as a insult -.
    Let me return the favor, if you think that conspiracies do not and
    never have existed, you are a idiot!

    Give an example of one such....

    ...just ONE.

    The Watergate Scandal. Happy now?

    You equate the relatively few people who were in on that conspiracy to
    the tens of thousands who would all have to be in on faking climate change?

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLLOLOLOLOL

    You really are an idiot, you asked one, you got one and now again you
    want something different, the climate cryers are DENYING 4.5 billion
    years of climate change and claiming the climate change of the last 50
    or 100 years is man made.
    Sane people do not deny or change the history. The climate cryers are
    accusing normal people from everything that they are doing themselves.

    I should get you to spend a week with my sister who is a Professor of >>> climate science. I reckon you'd learn something. I doubt she would.

    If we frame climate change in the context of whether we want a world
    that humans can comfortably inhabit in the way that we are doing today >>> then things have to change, and we are undoubtedly making the climate >>> worse for ourselves.
    Love your open minded view, starting with a fixed conclusion based on
    nothing :-)

    There's no "view" to be open minded about.

    The overwhelming conclusion from the science is that man-made
    climate change is factually happening.
    No it is not.
    You most likely just repeat the 97% lie but by all means, ask your
    sister IF she know and if she can show you where this myth comes from.
    The challenge is in understanding
    whether that is a problem or not.

    The climate has continually changed over 4.5bn years.

    Undoubtedly so. Natural variations in levels of all gases and climate temperature has happened, and will continue to happen with or
    without human intervention. Indeed, at some point we may be able to,
    and want to, control global climates so that they fit human existence better.

    But what happened in most of those years is an irrelevance to
    you and me, and our children, our grandchildren etc today.

    If you want to deny the evidence of man-made climate change then feel free,
    There is no such evidence at all. There is no evidence the tiny bit CO2
    is a a major influence and you can be sure that the earth does not make
    any distinction between CO2 coming from elephant farts or from a human
    made exhaust pipe.
    The 4000ppm CO2 wasn't a problem is the past so why should now 400ppm be?
    there's not going to be any rational debate with you that will
    convince you otherwise. In a toss up between a Professor at a major
    UK University and a poster on a F1 forum in terms of who I faith in for credibility about climate change, I think I'm on solid ground taking the Professor's experience, research and conclusions with more seriousness than yours.
    Science doesn't work that way, now you are confusing science with religion.

    4.5bn years of climate change is an irrelevance
    That is also an very interesting viewpoint, pretty absurd but
    interesting none the less.
    when
    modern humans have been around for such a miniscule fraction of that
    time.
    Ask your sister what she means exactly.

    Those aren't my sister's words, they're mine.

    I don't care about saving the planet. The planet is just a lump of rock
    on which various life forms exist today, and on which in the future different
    lifeforms will exist.

    My only concern is about the quality of life of my offspring and their descendents.

    Modern humans have existed for about 200,000 years, our direct
    ancestors maybe 6 million.

    That's between 0.004% and 0.13% of the time that this planet has existed.

    For the purposes of "the planet", that's insignificant, and by the time the planet
    is consumed by the sun the chances are that we'll as a species be long gone. So saving "the planet" doesn't matter from the planet's perspective.

    Keeping the planet inhabitable and society economically viable for foreseeable
    generations is what matters. If that's at risk, which the science clearly and overwhelmingly says it is to varying degrees, then why wouldn't
    any sane person want to ask "Is there anything I can do to help mitigate this?"
    Well lets say it about ONE HUNDRED years ago that man made the very
    first exhaust pipe and "we" produced the very first CO2..

    In the past 4.5 billion years the world didn't explode at CO2 levels
    varying from 200ppm to over 4000ppm, what in the hell makes anyone think that the world will come to an end if "we" increase the CO2 level to 401 ppm?


    In the long run, the planet will survive anyway, up to the point at which
    the sun destroys it. It's not about saving the planet - it will get along
    fine without humans to experience it.

    You can deny all you want,

    Like what Sir, the 4.5 billion years of extreme climate change?
    Or do you prefer to deny the varying CO2 concentration
    Or maybe the ice age at a CO2 concentration of around 4000 ppm?
    What exactly do you want me to deny?

    You are denyng the existence or importance of recent man-made
    climate change; aren't you?
    A much better way to say it is :
    YOU are denying 4.5 billion years of climate change.
    There is nothing new the last 50 or 100 years. It all happened thousands
    or millions of times before.

    the science is such that any argument against
    it is already lost.
    What do you mean, arguments against science?
    The climate BS has nothing to do with science.
    You're now in such a minority that your opinions won't
    matter anyway.
    Actually it is not the minority but reality doesn't matter that is true. >> For your information, in science!!!! it is not about the number of
    supporters, you are confusing democracy with science.
    In science one need only ONE single fact or observation to definitely
    disprove a faulty
    theory.
    But you are right in saying that is not how it works in the climate
    religion.

    I'm no keen greenie. Being alert to man-made climate change isn't a religion for me; it's just a fact which I need to recognise is part of the world I live in.
    As always in religions, it is just a fact, according to the followers
    that is.

    I've got solar panels and an electric car not primarily because I've
    got some mission to save the planet - it's mainly because it saves
    me cash, and as a side bonus some of those actions will
    result in lower levels of ancient CO2 being released into the
    atmosphere, which I understand to be a "good thing".

    You can deny the conclusions of the science
    There is no such conclusion on science.
    Show me the survey with the 97% scam and read it!
    all you want and pretend to yourself that you're super intelligent and can see through
    some massive conspiracy that is leading most of the worlds'
    scientists (not all, I fully accept that) to draw the same or similar conclusions about man-made climate change. Free free; I think
    what you're doing is risking harm to future generations, but what
    do I know.
    You just have an opinion based on the propaganda we get shoved trough
    our throats 20 times a day, that is NOT science.
    It is just how it works, repeating nonsense over and over again and it becomes a "fact" except it isn't.
    There is absolutely nothing scientific or reasonable about climate
    religion, it makes no sense at all.

    You can throw in a few remarks about my intelligence - which is an
    insult - or accuse me of being some conspiracy theorist - which also is intended as a insult -.
    Let me return the favor, if you think that conspiracies do not and never have existed, you are a idiot!
    Mentioning such things is just a way trying to shut people down.

    Sadly it's just not worth a response beyond this.
    Climate change happens all the time. CO2 rises and falls all the time.
    But in the last 4.5bn years, there hasn't been a human occupation of the
    planet of the size and scale that there is now.
    Rising a falling sea levels in the period 2,500,000,000 to 2,000,000,000BC didn't matter to anyone because no-one was around.
    In fact, climate change even at the levels that are being predicted by the worst models today probably wouldn't have caused any great real concern
    to the worldwide human population until close to maybe as recent as
    500 years ago, perhaps even more recent than that.
    If nature had moved the goalposts for the spares human population around
    the planet, the human population would have responded; they'd have migrated, they'd have farmed in different ways, they'd have changed their diets, they'd have relocated their settlements to higher ground, they'd have hunted other animals.
    Or they'd have died if they didn't make adjustments, potentially.
    I know it might sound trite, but if we accept that an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs
    and then we see an asteroid heading our way with contact predicted in 50 years do we just sit back and say "look, asteroids have hit before, and they'll hit the planet
    again, it's entirely natural, eventually things will recover".
    It's the same with man-made climate change.
    If it exists (and I utterly reject your assertion that there is no overwhelming scientific consensus on this) then there is a path towards a change in the climate which we can either attempt to forecast and consider whether we
    need to change anything, or we can ignore and let it happen anyway.
    If our forecasts of impacts suggest that, with a human population at the levels we have them now and the infrastructure around the world in place the way it
    is now, can the human population rapidly rearrange itself in a way that will allow life to carry on as normal.
    The simple answer is that we cannot.
    Previous history of global warming, either natural or man made is irrelevant because none of those incidences had to sustain a worldwide human
    population of nearly 8bn people.
    It's truly as simple as that.
    If you honestly think that the global population can rapidly adapt to a changed climate, then I have sympathy for your view that nothing needs to change.
    As I've said a number of times, this isn't about "saving the planet", despite that being the shorthand in which the issue is discussed.
    It's about saving (or avoiding massive disruption to) current societies, economies,
    etc of humans.
    You might be just happy to roll with the punches and let your offspring and subsequent generations deal any shit that comes after, but I don't think that's a morally acceptable position, hence we disagree.

    If you want to deny the evidence of man-made climate change then feel
    free,
    There is no such evidence at all. There is no evidence the tiny bit CO2
    is a a major influence and you can be sure that the earth does not make

    made exhaust pipe.

    Ask your sister what she means exactly.

    Those aren't my sister's words, they're mine.

    I don't care about saving the planet. The planet is just a lump of rock
    on which various life forms exist today, and on which in the future different
    lifeforms will exist.

    My only concern is about the quality of life of my offspring and their
    descendents.

    Modern humans have existed for about 200,000 years, our direct
    ancestors maybe 6 million.

    That's between 0.004% and 0.13% of the time that this planet has existed. >>>
    For the purposes of "the planet", that's insignificant, and by the time the planet
    is consumed by the sun the chances are that we'll as a species be long
    gone. So saving "the planet" doesn't matter from the planet's perspective. >>>
    Keeping the planet inhabitable and society economically viable for foreseeable
    generations is what matters. If that's at risk, which the science clearly >>> and overwhelmingly says it is to varying degrees, then why wouldn't
    any sane person want to ask "Is there anything I can do to help mitigate >>> this?"
    Well lets say it about ONE HUNDRED years ago that man made the very
    first exhaust pipe and "we" produced the very first CO2..

    In the past 4.5 billion years the world didn't explode at CO2 levels
    varying from 200ppm to over 4000ppm, what in the hell makes anyone think
    that the world will come to an end if "we" increase the CO2 level to 401
    ppm?


    In the long run, the planet will survive anyway, up to the point at which >>>>> the sun destroys it. It's not about saving the planet - it will get along >>>>> fine without humans to experience it.

    You can deny all you want,

    Like what Sir, the 4.5 billion years of extreme climate change?
    Or do you prefer to deny the varying CO2 concentration
    Or maybe the ice age at a CO2 concentration of around 4000 ppm?
    What exactly do you want me to deny?

    You are denyng the existence or importance of recent man-made
    climate change; aren't you?
    A much better way to say it is :
    YOU are denying 4.5 billion years of climate change.
    There is nothing new the last 50 or 100 years. It all happened thousands
    or millions of times before.

    the science is such that any argument against
    it is already lost.
    What do you mean, arguments against science?
    The climate BS has nothing to do with science.
    You're now in such a minority that your opinions won't
    matter anyway.
    Actually it is not the minority but reality doesn't matter that is true. >>>> For your information, in science!!!! it is not about the number of
    supporters, you are confusing democracy with science.
    In science one need only ONE single fact or observation to definitely
    disprove a faulty
    theory.
    But you are right in saying that is not how it works in the climate
    religion.

    I'm no keen greenie. Being alert to man-made climate change isn't a
    religion for me; it's just a fact which I need to recognise is part of the >>> world I live in.
    As always in religions, it is just a fact, according to the followers
    that is.

    I've got solar panels and an electric car not primarily because I've
    got some mission to save the planet - it's mainly because it saves
    me cash, and as a side bonus some of those actions will
    result in lower levels of ancient CO2 being released into the
    atmosphere, which I understand to be a "good thing".

    You can deny the conclusions of the science
    There is no such conclusion on science.
    Show me the survey with the 97% scam and read it!
    all you want and pretend to yourself that you're super intelligent and can see through
    some massive conspiracy that is leading most of the worlds'
    scientists (not all, I fully accept that) to draw the same or similar
    conclusions about man-made climate change. Free free; I think
    what you're doing is risking harm to future generations, but what
    do I know.
    You just have an opinion based on the propaganda we get shoved trough
    our throats 20 times a day, that is NOT science.
    It is just how it works, repeating nonsense over and over again and it
    becomes a "fact" except it isn't.
    There is absolutely nothing scientific or reasonable about climate
    religion, it makes no sense at all.

    You can throw in a few remarks about my intelligence - which is an
    insult - or accuse me of being some conspiracy theorist - which also is
    intended as a insult -.
    Let me return the favor, if you think that conspiracies do not and never
    have existed, you are a idiot!
    Mentioning such things is just a way trying to shut people down.

    Sadly it's just not worth a response beyond this.

    Oh, and that is why you do not show me where that 97% nonsense is coming
    from?
    That why you do not respond to the 4000ppm CO2 and ice age during that time?

    Climate change happens all the time. CO2 rises and falls all the time.

    Wow, that is actually true.

    But in the last 4.5bn years, there hasn't been a human occupation of the planet of the size and scale that there is now.

    That in not the point of the climate cryers.

    Rising a falling sea levels in the period 2,500,000,000 to 2,000,000,000BC didn't matter to anyone because no-one was around.


    That in not the point of the climate cryers.

    In fact, climate change even at the levels that are being predicted by the worst models today probably wouldn't have caused any great real concern
    to the worldwide human population until close to maybe as recent as
    500 years ago, perhaps even more recent than that.

    Would that be the same model that predicted the new ice age in the
    70ties? or the one that predicted that the Maldives would be under water
    10 years ago? Just curious.


    If nature had moved the goalposts for the spares human population around
    the planet, the human population would have responded; they'd have migrated, they'd have farmed in different ways, they'd have changed their diets, they'd have relocated their settlements to higher ground, they'd have hunted other animals.

    Or they'd have died if they didn't make adjustments, potentially.

    I know it might sound trite, but if we accept that an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs
    and then we see an asteroid heading our way with contact predicted in 50 years
    do we just sit back and say "look, asteroids have hit before, and they'll hit the planet
    again, it's entirely natural, eventually things will recover".

    It's the same with man-made climate change.

    Man made you say? tell me about it.

    If it exists (and I utterly reject your assertion that there is no overwhelming
    scientific consensus on this)

    That is exactly why I asked you to SHOW ME where that myth comes from.
    Not about what Obama or Gore told you but what is actually said about it.
    Why don't you show me?

    then there is a path towards a change in the
    climate which we can either attempt to forecast and consider whether we
    need to change anything, or we can ignore and let it happen anyway.

    What's makes you think humans can change on nature or what will change
    if we hand over all our money to the governments?

    If our forecasts of impacts suggest that, with a human population at the levels
    we have them now and the infrastructure around the world in place the way it is now, can the human population rapidly rearrange itself in a way that will allow life to carry on as normal.

    The simple answer is that we cannot.

    Previous history of global warming, either natural or man made is irrelevant because none of those incidences had to sustain a worldwide human
    population of nearly 8bn people.

    It's truly as simple as that.

    If you honestly think that the global population can rapidly adapt to a changed
    climate, then I have sympathy for your view that nothing needs to change.

    As I've said a number of times, this isn't about "saving the planet", despite that being the shorthand in which the issue is discussed.

    It's about saving (or avoiding massive disruption to) current societies, economies,
    etc of humans.

    You might be just happy to roll with the punches and let your offspring and subsequent generations deal any shit that comes after, but I don't think that's
    a morally acceptable position, hence we disagree.

    Well apart that you seem to realize that climate change IS from the
    beginning of time, which is a remarkable and exceptional for the climate church.
    The whole point that they make is that WE humans caused the climate
    change and we have to pay. TRILLIONS!
    All we get back for handing over ALL our money is a little reduction in
    CO2 output.
    That and that alone should change the climate change...
    400ppm CO2 is suddenly killing the earth, so they say :-)
    4000 ppm was fine however.

    There's no "view" to be open minded about.

    No it is not.

    Yes it is. Apart from a small niche of absolutely mad greenies who think that it would be better for humanity to be wiped out so that flowers can grow and dolphins can play freely in the seas, the whole point of the climate change debate is that the impact on humanity of climate change is too negative.
    Of course, there are side effects about "nature" and stuff, but that's less about
    climate change and more about a debate about man's undoubted impact on
    natural landscapes like the rain forest or the seas etc. Which I hope you will find it easy to agree exist, and are broadly "negative" (even if they aren't necessarily catastrophic.

    a fact when it's a fiction, it should be big, global businesses that are driving
    it - firms like the energy / oil / motor firms, as these are the ones that can make money out of the solutions.
    Just to humour me, if you were ever to be convinced that man-made climate change was occurring, and that there were negative impacts of that overall
    what would you do? Sit by and watch, or be prepared to invest in trying to solve it?

    https://climate.nasa.gov/faq/17/do-scientists-agree-on-climate-change/

    I did specifically not ask for some kind of summary, I asked for the
    source and what exactly is asked, what is answered and how that is
    forced into that debunked 97 % nonsense.
    Look it up if you can find it, you will be surprised.



    Climate change happens all the time. CO2 rises and falls all the time.
    Wow, that is actually true.

    But in the last 4.5bn years, there hasn't been a human occupation of the >>> planet of the size and scale that there is now.
    That in not the point of the climate cryers.

    Yes it is. Apart from a small niche of absolutely mad greenies who think that
    it would be better for humanity to be wiped out so that flowers can grow and dolphins can play freely in the seas, the whole point of the climate change debate is that the impact on humanity of climate change is too negative.

    Well - No it isn't! The Climate cryers tell us that the rising CO2 concentration will be the end of the world. the CO2 is the thermostat of
    the world temperature and we are to blame for it.

    Of course, there are side effects about "nature" and stuff, but that's less about
    climate change and more about a debate about man's undoubted impact on natural landscapes like the rain forest or the seas etc. Which I hope you will
    find it easy to agree exist, and are broadly "negative" (even if they aren't necessarily catastrophic.

    Rising a falling sea levels in the period 2,500,000,000 to 2,000,000,000BC >>> didn't matter to anyone because no-one was around.
    That in not the point of the climate cryers.

    In fact, climate change even at the levels that are being predicted by the >>> worst models today probably wouldn't have caused any great real concern
    to the worldwide human population until close to maybe as recent as
    500 years ago, perhaps even more recent than that.
    Would that be the same model that predicted the new ice age in the
    70ties? or the one that predicted that the Maldives would be under water
    10 years ago? Just curious.

    Why don't you answer this?

    If nature had moved the goalposts for the spares human population around >>> the planet, the human population would have responded; they'd have migrated,
    they'd have farmed in different ways, they'd have changed their diets, they'd
    have relocated their settlements to higher ground, they'd have hunted other animals.

    Or they'd have died if they didn't make adjustments, potentially.

    I know it might sound trite, but if we accept that an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs
    and then we see an asteroid heading our way with contact predicted in 50 years
    do we just sit back and say "look, asteroids have hit before, and they'll hit the planet
    again, it's entirely natural, eventually things will recover".

    It's the same with man-made climate change.
    Man made you say? tell me about it.

    https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

    Already told you science is no democracy it is not about consensus, it
    is about proof.
    Besides this, the so called consensus doesn't exist it is a lie and no
    matter how many times it is debunked, "they" (MSM) repeat it over and
    over so people like yourself are going to think it is true. It isn't!

    Ask your sister for that source and if she doesn't have that or never
    checked it, ask her why she didn't.


    If it exists (and I utterly reject your assertion that there is no overwhelming
    scientific consensus on this)
    That is exactly why I asked you to SHOW ME where that myth comes from.
    Not about what Obama or Gore told you but what is actually said about it.
    Why don't you show me?
    then there is a path towards a change in the
    climate which we can either attempt to forecast and consider whether we
    need to change anything, or we can ignore and let it happen anyway.
    What's makes you think humans can change on nature or what will change
    if we hand over all our money to the governments?

    What makes me thhink we can change the climate?
    The fact that we've done it already!

    Can you give me any proof of that?


    If our forecasts of impacts suggest that, with a human population at the levels
    we have them now and the infrastructure around the world in place the way it
    is now, can the human population rapidly rearrange itself in a way that will
    allow life to carry on as normal.

    The simple answer is that we cannot.

    Previous history of global warming, either natural or man made is irrelevant
    because none of those incidences had to sustain a worldwide human
    population of nearly 8bn people.

    It's truly as simple as that.

    If you honestly think that the global population can rapidly adapt to a changed
    climate, then I have sympathy for your view that nothing needs to change. >>>
    As I've said a number of times, this isn't about "saving the planet", despite
    that being the shorthand in which the issue is discussed.

    It's about saving (or avoiding massive disruption to) current societies, economies,
    etc of humans.

    You might be just happy to roll with the punches and let your offspring and >>> subsequent generations deal any shit that comes after, but I don't think that's
    a morally acceptable position, hence we disagree.
    Well apart that you seem to realize that climate change IS from the
    beginning of time, which is a remarkable and exceptional for the climate
    church.
    The whole point that they make is that WE humans caused the climate
    change and we have to pay. TRILLIONS!
    All we get back for handing over ALL our money is a little reduction in
    CO2 output.
    That and that alone should change the climate change...
    400ppm CO2 is suddenly killing the earth, so they say :-)
    4000 ppm was fine however.


    Why don't you respond to this part?



    If we spend Trillions on averting / adjusting the direction of the climate then who do you think benefits? "Governments" or the businesses that
    provide the services (and thereafter the people that work for them).

    Adjusting the climate is some statement...
    The magnitude of impact of CO2 on the climate is dubious to begin with
    and the fraction that humans added is negligible.
    Even IF we beleive CO2 is important, previous agreements NEVER EVER
    resulted in lowering CO2 emissions, NEVER!
    The taxes increased and that is about it.
    As we speak we pay for cutting down rainforest transport it with Diesel
    Ships to Europe and burn it in cities with much CO2 NOx and worst of all
    "fine dust".
    All in the name of the green deal, you couldn't make it up.


    If there is a conspiracy amongst anyone to promote climate change as being
    a fact when it's a fiction, it should be big, global businesses that are driving
    it - firms like the energy / oil / motor firms, as these are the ones that can
    make money out of the solutions.

    Just to humour me, if you were ever to be convinced that man-made climate change was occurring,

    I am not, at least not in a way to think humans are the main cause.

    and that there were negative impacts of that overall
    what would you do? Sit by and watch, or be prepared to invest in trying to solve it?

    Trust me I would solve it for a tiny fraction of the costs they are
    wasting now.

    Sorry, but I was trying to lighten the mood!!
    You claimed that you have the intellect and the capability to solve
    the (in your view) fictitious climate change problem at a tiny fraction
    of the cost being absorbed into those efforts at the moment.
    Forgive me for thinking you might have been over-exaggerating for
    slightly comic effect!
    I'm not an expert. I never raised 97% or 4000ppm as numbers so I don't
    feel the onus on me is to prove them. All I said was that the overwhelming majority of climate scientists have drawn the conclusion based on their observation and analysis that we are in a period of man-made climate
    change.
    The NASA link backs that up. If you want, please present the evidence
    that climate scientists don't believe that. Avoid though quoting studies
    which don't rely on climate scientists, and which use "scientists" in the broadest sense. I don't care whether a pharmacologist or a particle
    physicist comments on climate change, just as they wouldn't care if
    my little sister commented on their fields as she would lack authority.
    I'm not a scientist in any way. I am purely a layman who has read some
    stuff, but not by any means a lot, which leads me to conclude that
    I am in the right "camp" if I go along with those working in the field of climate science that report that we are in a period where we are, and
    have already, causing / caused damage to the climate through man-made
    actions.
    Feel free to draw alternative conclusions for yourself. I'm sure you are as confident in your conclusions as I am in mine, and thus neither of us will likely change our minds. I'm open to being persuaded, and recognise that
    I am biased in my view to a degree because to be a climate change denier
    whilst having Christmas lunch with my Professorial little sister and her partner (who if anything is even better qualified in the field than she is) would make for a very argumentative time over the turkey. My respect for
    her intellect and academic rigour means I do trust what she says on this,
    and I'm sure if you had a sibling working in a controversial field you might have a similar view.
    I think we'll just have to agree to differ. Feel free to reply, but don't expect
    me to respond any further as I think we've exhausted any useful energy on
    this without either of us likely to change our tune.

    My only observation about the point was that there was a scientific consensus that man made climate change is occuring. I linked to a reputable source
    for that claim, and lining that up with what I have read in the press and on other online news sources (or the "MSM" which for some reason seems to be
    a derogatory term - the media has its faults, but it seems to me better to rely on
    well regarded sources from across the globe and across political persuasions than a just on niche perspectives) makes me confident in its veracity.

    I said I wouldn't respond but just to note the first person to raise 97% on this
    thread was you!

    That is true, because you did not - and can not - backup your claim and
    cannot answer my questions, you just made a vague statement about "the
    he overwhelming conclusion from the science is that man-made climate
    change is factually happening.".
    That is when I mentioned that you where probably hinting at the 97% myth
    and asked you to proof that.
    I know you can not.
    If you think you can proof your claim without that 97%... give it a shot. People telling a lot of things and mostly they referring to something
    they don't know anything about, the 97% myth!
    What they don't know is:
    what is actually asked
    what is actually answered
    how many scientist where participating
    how many scientist where excluded
    what the field of expertise of those scientists where.
    how the answers where forced into the 97% lie.
    Pretty essential things I would say.

    I'll be honest, it's not a number I was previously specifically
    aware of or am wedded to in any way!

    If you want to get excited about proving whether it's 82%, 97%, 99% (or even 49% or
    lower), the feel free to fill your boots.

    My only observation about the point was that there was a scientific consensus that man made climate change is occuring.

    The funny thing - apart from your repeated "consensus" which has no
    place is science to begin with, is that nobody is "denying" climate change. "Climate deniers" is absurd by itself, what should that mean? something
    like a tree deniers, or a car denier?
    It is invented by the spin doctors of the climate cryers who invented a ridiculous word suggesting to deny something obvious and
    associate it holocaust deniers on top of that.
    No one and least of all climate realists are denying climate change, we

    Point is, there is no proof that humans are the main cause of climate
    change now, we where not in that past 4.5 billion years and it

    I linked to a reputable source for that claim, and lining that up with what I have read in the press and on
    other online news sources (or the "MSM" which for some reason seems to be
    a derogatory term - the media has its faults, but it seems to me better to rely on
    well regarded sources from across the globe and across political persuasions than a just on niche perspectives) makes me confident in its veracity.

    That is nothing more then a claim to authority like people do in church.

    Bob if you have invested zero time in investigating the climate

    I like to separate or not include the rCYpollutionrCo caused by

    What about the pollution being created to mine the minerals for wind farms and solar panels and what happens to these items after their
    short life?

    There is no difference between this an all other things so this is a non-argument.

    Wind power and solar are both intermittent, expensive and in the case

    No it is not, and it is very expensive.

    I should get you to spend a week with my sister who is a Professor of climate science. I reckon you'd learn something. I doubt she would.

    If we frame climate change in the context of whether we want a world
    that humans can comfortably inhabit in the way that we are doing today
    then things have to change, and we are undoubtedly making the climate
    worse for ourselves. 4.5bn years of climate change is an irrelevance when modern humans have been around for such a miniscule fraction of that
    time.

    In the long run, the planet will survive anyway, up to the point at which the sun destroys it. It's not about saving the planet - it will get along fine without humans to experience it.

    You can deny all you want, the science is such that any argument against
    it is already lost. You're now in such a minority that your opinions won't matter anyway.
    Do you always talk down to folks ?

    Not always no.
    But when they are spouting rubbish I do have that tendency.
    There really is no point in argung about man-made climate change.
    It is happening, it is well evidenced.
    I was actually trying to reframe the question as this is something that I
    think those who lead the "save the planet" activism miss - it is inherently selfish of "humanity" to want to avoid man-made climate change because
    if there are no humans around to experience it, destruction of the natural habit, flora, fauna etc is meaningless (it seems to me); unless you subscribe to some faith in a deity etc.
    Man made climate change is mainstream scientific dogma now. Just like
    the benefit of vaccination, the "theory" of evolution by natural selection, quantum physics, plate tectonic theory, etc.
    I'm all for good scientific rigour and challenge of theories and
    accepted beliefs etc. If man-made climate change is demonstrated
    not to be happening and becomes an accepted fact amongst the
    scientific community, that's fine by me.
    But equally I have little time for those who
    put away science because it doesn't fit with their conspiracy
    theories.

    Point is, there is no proof that humans are the main cause of
    climate change now, we where not in that past 4.5 billion years

    Actually, for a goodly long time the climate deniers were doing
    precisely that: denying that the climate was changing.

    No idiots like yourself denying the climate is changing for 4.5
    billion years and accusing normal people for everything they do
    themselves....

    Nope. No one of consequence who is saying that there is a climate
    change going on right now of a different origin and rate has ever
    said that climate has never changed before.

    That's simply a lie you're now telling.

    Well that is what you weirdos suggest don't you.

    Nope.

    But by all means SHOW us where climate realists tell you there wasn't
    a ice age or the climate was exactly the same for 4.5 billion years.
    Take your time......

    Sorry, but it's your job to support your claim that people have been
    denying that climate has been changing for 4.5 billion years.

    Take your time...

    Nope your turn of course you already forgot, never mind i help you
    remember :

    Actually, for a goodly long time the climate deniers were doing

    -----------

    SHOW US!




    You still read many people trying to deny it is changing by
    pointing out that some places are getting more snow or were colder
    this summer.

    What most (such as yourself) have done is to now shift gears.

    "OK, climate is changing, but we're not the cause".


    I am sure there are people - such as yourself - thinking that there
    is a pot of gold on the end of a rainbow....

    You don't even know why you wrote that.

    You don't know why you get an insult back after you insulted someone?
    Hmm you never was the brightest light of your class I guess.

    Look at the current RATE of change, you twit.

    Which rate exactly, measured where and when, show me.

    It's been done multiple times already, but OK:

    <https://xkcd.com/1732/>

    I did not ask for a cartoon, read again what I asked.

    22,000 years of the Earth's temperature, and there is only one time it
    has changed as rapidly as it is changing right now.

    <https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/All_palaeotemps.svg>

    Before you jump in, remember that the horizontal scale changes between
    the part show the last 20,000 years, and the next section (same width in
    the graphic), which shows 980,000 years.

    If you want me to look at a rate you have to produce a graph in which
    such a ting is visible and you have to show where and when it is
    measured, IF it is measured!
    - FYI most figures come from computer models AND are ""corrected"" to
    get the desired outcome.

    If you want to compare it with some time in history you have to show a
    graph in the same resolution and scale.
    Although 500 million years is quite some time, it isn't 4.5 billion years.

    I said I wouldn't respond but just to note the first person to raise 97% on this
    thread was you! I'll be honest, it's not a number I was previously specifically
    aware of or am wedded to in any way!

    If you want to get excited about proving whether it's 82%, 97%, 99% (or even 49% or
    lower), the feel free to fill your boots.

    My only observation about the point was that there was a scientific consensus
    that man made climate change is occuring. I linked to a reputable source >>> for that claim, and lining that up with what I have read in the press and on
    other online news sources (or the "MSM" which for some reason seems to be
    a derogatory term - the media has its faults, but it seems to me better to rely on
    well regarded sources from across the globe and across political persuasions
    than a just on niche perspectives) makes me confident in its veracity. >> I've not seen the acronym 'MSM' before but thinking about it in context I guess it's likely to mean
    Main Stream Media?

    Yep, that's what I was assuming Edmund meant.
    Thanks. I didn't see that he'd said it previously as I don't read his defecations.
