lol @ reliably informed. Poor you if your statement was only based on hearsay lol :lol:
:O melody i sed berwick fc was in the scottish league tut
melody i titled the post gobble warming hun , thats wot its about , nothin else
It could be a natural occurrence, it’s nothing out of the ordinary on the historical scale.
However, there is a scientific model for how burning fossil fuels adds CO2 to the atmosphere, which prevents heat loss at night, leading to global warming. The thing is, in collecting evidence in support of this theory, there’s no ‘control’ to the experiment as you can’t isolate any natural warming effects.Between 1975 and 2000 there was an exact correlation between rising global annual average temperatures and rising CO2 emissions. But since then the trend has been less marked. Global temperatures have not been rising strongly yet CO2 emissions are going up and up. It’s true 2007 was the hottest year on record, but 2008 was much cooler (some scientists earlier in the year were predicting it would be even hotter than 2007!)
The drop between 2007 and 2008 was the biggest drop in global temperature between two consecutive years.But anyway, if we are causing global warming, it will be self-limiting anyway because oil and gas supplies will start to dwindle in a few decades, lowering CO2 levels.
hmmm oil n gas , now theres another topic , a car runs out of oil and breaks down , whos to say we arent syphoning away the earths engine oil that it needs??
Lets just forget CO2 shall we, methane is far more damaging and as well as stuffing that in the atmosphere there is loads trapped in permafrost which will become un-permafrost due to global warming and therefore release the methane … so ya see how it’s going.
Anyone who doesnt believe we are affecting and increasing global warming simply hasnt read enough

You may wish to think that – I couldn’t possibly comment. :- :wink:
so how we stop the methane pete , kill all cows . i buy ur last bit , maybe we are contributing , speedin up the natural occurence
I have no idea tictax its 16 yr since i last really studied this but meat production does contribute massively to methane levels and it traps heat 20 times “better” than CO2
Just had a quick google and came up with
Since 1750, methane has doubled, and could double again by 2050. Each year we add 350-500 million tons of methane to the air by raising livestock, coal mining, drilling for oil and natural gas, rice cultivation, and garbage sitting in landfills.(http://www.envirolink.org/orgs/edf/sitemap.html) It stays in the atmosphere for only 10 years, but traps 20 times more heat than carbon dioxide.
In one day, a cow can emit ½ pound of methane into the air. Imagine 1.3 billion cattle each burping methane several times per minute!
I recall that the last time we ‘did’ global warming on here, I made a few unfortunate remarks about fat cows farting etc …… and got myself into a lot of trouble as a result.
You will therefore understand why I am being a bit quiet on this thread – but I’m really really tempted !!!
