Top 10 Global Warming Lies!

[PinHead]

Dicer..we contribute about 25% of the CO2 in the troposphere...the debate still rages amongst scientists whether it does cause global warming or not. All the prophecies cite incidents that may happen in 70 or more years....when none of us will be here to sit and say..told ya so. The other item that should be considered but never mentioned is...what if man in his never ending methods of meddling reduces the CO2 in the troposphere too much...then we plunge very rapidly into an ice age. Most of the so called researchers keep stating worst case scenarios of doom and gloom..death and destruction...none state ways of adaptation in those so called drastci times.

Well you're bound to get a balanced view from the Outdoor Recreation Party......

Have to agree with you, Bilge Boy.
Outdoor worker all my 35 year working life, to me the sun feels hotter than ever.
Really scares me to see so many people exposing themselves to it, with apparently blatant disregard of the consequences.
On or in the water just accentuates the burning.
Personally, I have developed a strong hatred of the sun!
Cheers.

• Many droughts affecting eastern and northern Australia are a direct result of a strong swing in the Southern Oscillation, accompanied by cooler than normal ocean currents off northern Australia.
_ Long-term averages indicate that in terms of rainfall, out of every 10 years, we have about 3 good years, 4 average years, and 3 bad ones. Research also reveals that very severe drought affects some part of Australia every 18 years approximately.

Many, but by no means all, droughts over eastern and northern Australia accompany the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon, which typically lasts about a year, as in 1982/83. Droughts in the western areas and over much of the interior normally have different causes. Nevertheless, on some occasions (such as 1914 and 1994) El Niño-related droughts may extend across virtually the entire country


The highest temperature recorded during the record spell was 47.5°C on 18 January 1924. There have been higher temperatures at Marble Bar, with the highest recorded being 49.2°C, on 11 January 1905 and again on 3 January 1922. But temperatures in other Western Australian towns have been higher: in a remarkable late-season heat-wave in February 1998, Mardie recorded a maximum of 50.5°C (on the 19th) - the highest temperature in Western Australia, and the second highest ever recorded in Australia using standard instrumentation (Oodnadatta, in South Australia, recorded 50.7°C on 2 January 1960). Several other recordings above 49°C were reported in the northwest on the days preceding Mardie’s record, and at Nyang, the average maximum over the entire summer exceeded 43°C. As in 1923-24, very dry conditions accompanied the extreme heat.

Fact A - we're contributing millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere every day. They are both greenhouse gases.

Try and debunk that one.

Good call Dicer. Everyone sit down for a few minutes and have a good think and base on your own opinion on that because it is a fact and the the rest is just theories and speculation.

Why do people think that 25% is not significant?
