bring on global warming i say…
its rained for 5 days none stop up here int north, and its chuffin freezin.
the sooner the heatwave starts the better, but if its owt like the last long hot summer we were told was coming, 2 years ago i think. it will be a total washout.
i wont be buying tickets for wimbledon on the strenth of it.. :roll:WE might or might not be experiencing a trend of climate change – each ‘hotter than average’ year lends support to this claim.
Human activity adds a small amount to the overall level of CO2 in our atmosphere and more CO2 would lead to global warming.
What we don’t know for sure yet is to what extent human activity is causing global warming (if it is as such) and to what extent it is a natural phenomenon. The last ice-age only ended about 18,000 years ago, and sea levels were much lower then due to the amount of ice piled up over land. Some think we have not reached the peak inter-glacial stage yet.
So can we all drive around in gas guzzlers, fly abroad for holidays and keep filling cupboards with spare plastic carrier bags? Well, global warming or not, we are using up our finite resources at an alarming rate. That is the real environmetal problem facing us.
When the oil and gas is gone at least it will self-limit any human effect on our climate!The last ice age hasn’t ended. We’re still experiencing the end of the ice age.
Anyway, we’re OK once the oil has gone. We own the Antarctic. Plenty of frozen oil underneath just waiting for our lovely British hands to drill up. o/

More would lead to :roll: Were experiencing GW now, its been occuring for 20,000 years.
Human CO2 activity is insignificant in the great grand scheme of things, history explains that.
I will still continue to use my bags for life though…. Its not as if global warming can lessen the land fill sites is it :oops: :wink: :wink:
I have a cure for human CO2.
Plant more trees, simple as.
There is no need for politicians to make us feel bad thus charge us more tax.
As for the sun continuinely heating our planet, its normal, we’ll just have to go along with it, cos theres nothing we can do, bar put a metal sheet in the clouds.
Arent we lucky we live in planetary times where warmth is rife :D
Actually Emma, rotting leaves is the third biggest producer of CO2, several thousand percent of the amount all of humanity as a collective produces infact
So the trees idea is actually going to increase the amount of CO2 rather than decrease it
Surely a tree produces more oxygen, deleting more CO2, than its leaves create?
Well
firstly DONT call me shirley :wink:
thirdly, wheres secondly? :shock:
secondly, oh, there it is
and
fourthly, well I would have thought that too, but it isnt the caseThe CO2 producers league table top three were volcanoes, the sea and leaves all of which produced much much more CO2 than all of mankind is or has ever produced and between them account for about 80-90% of the CO2 thats produced
I cant remember exactly, but I think rotting folliage accounts for about 15% whereas mankind produces about 6% of the overall total
Infact, if we ignore the fact youre probably a woman for a moment and you try to look at it logically
More trees would only equate to more oxygen IF they werent also producers of CO2 as then they would be converting more CO2 from elsewhere into oxygen, but as they do produce a hell of a lot of CO2 more trees would produce more oxygen, but would also be causing more CO2 proportionately
So chances are they would pretty much balance each other out
