Bet he wears odd socks and can't tie his own shoe laces.:chitown:
So let me see.......if a buy a lottery ticket from column A what will it do to the probability of me getting hit by a bus ...... or worse, a comet from outer space with my name on it ?
:spin:
Yes ! Twice ! Uses every sales technique.and same arguement as Mormons and Jehovers wits. Been there ,got the tea-shirt.Global warming has occurred many times, and many great freeze ups over the years. Mankind will cope. In the 1960's the world was going to freeze over due to something or other,This is just a swing back the other way.:chitown:
Science: Another Ice Age?
Monday, Jun. 24, 1974
...
In Africa, drought continues for the sixth consecutive year, adding terribly to the toll of famine victims. During 1972 record rains in parts of the U.S., Pakistan and Japan caused some of the worst flooding in centuries. In Canada's wheat belt, a particularly chilly and rainy spring has delayed planting and may well bring a disappointingly small harvest. Rainy Britain, on the other hand, has suffered from uncharacteristic dry spells the past few springs. A series of unusually cold winters has gripped the American Far West, while New England and northern Europe have recently experienced the mildest winters within anyone's recollection.
As they review the bizarre and unpredictable weather pattern of the past several years, a growing number of scientists are beginning to suspect that many seemingly contradictory meteorological fluctuations are actually part of a global climatic upheaval. However widely the weather varies from place to place and time to time, when meteorologists take an average of temperatures around the globe they find that the atmosphere has been growing gradually cooler for the past three decades. The trend shows no indication of reversing. Climatological Cassandras are becoming increasingly apprehensive, for the weather aberrations they are studying may be the harbinger of another ice age.
Telltale signs are everywhere 庸rom the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest.Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7ー F. Although that figure is at best an estimate, it is supported by other convincing data. When Climatologist George J. Kukla of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and his wife Helena analyzed satellite weather data for the Northern Hemisphere, they found that the area of the ice and snow cover had suddenly increased by 12% in 1971 and the increase has persisted ever since. Areas of Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic, for example, were once totally free of any snow in summer; now they are covered year round.
Scientists have found other indications of global cooling. For one thing there has been a noticeable expansion of the great belt of dry, high-altitude polar winds 葉he so-called circumpolar vortex葉hat sweep from west to east around the top and bottom of the world. Indeed it is the widening of this cap of cold air that is the immediate cause of Africa's drought. By blocking moisture-bearing equatorial winds and preventing them from bringing rainfall to the parched sub-Sahara region, as well as other drought-ridden areas stretching all the way from Central America to the Middle East and India, the polar winds have in effect caused the Sahara and other deserts to reach farther to the south. Paradoxically, the same vortex has created quite different weather quirks in the U.S. and other temperate zones. As the winds swirl around the globe, their southerly portions undulate like the bottom of a skirt. Cold air is pulled down across the Western U.S. and warm air is swept up to the Northeast. The collision of air masses of widely differing temperatures and humidity can create violent storms葉he Midwest's recent rash of disastrous tornadoes, for example.
Sunspot Cycle. The changing weather is apparently connected with differences in the amount of energy that the earth's surface receives from the sun. Changes in the earth's tilt and distance from the sun could, for instance, significantly increase or decrease the amount of solar radiation falling on either hemisphere葉hereby altering the earth's climate. Some observers have tried to connect the eleven-year sunspot cycle with climate patterns, but have so far been unable to provide a satisfactory explanation of how the cycle might be involved.
Man, too, may be somewhat responsible for the cooling trend. The University of Wisconsin's Reid A. Bryson and other climatologists suggest that dust and other particles released into the atmosphere as a result of farming and fuel burning may be blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the surface of the earth.
Climatic Balance. Some scientists like Donald Oilman, chief of the National Weather Service's long-range-prediction group, think that the cooling trend may be only temporary. But all agree that vastly more information is needed about the major influences on the earth's climate. Indeed, it is to gain such knowledge that 38 ships and 13 aircraft, carrying scientists from almost 70 nations, are now assembling in the Atlantic and elsewhere for a massive 100-day study of the effects of the tropical seas and atmosphere on worldwide weather. The study itself is only part of an international scientific effort known acronymically as GARP (for Global Atmospheric Research Program).
Whatever the cause of the cooling trend, its effects could be extremely serious, if not catastrophic. Scientists figure that only a 1% decrease in the amount of sunlight hitting the earth's surface could tip the climatic balance, and cool the planet enough to send it sliding down the road to another ice age within only a few hundred years.
The earth's current climate is something of an anomaly; in the past 700,000 years, there have been at least seven major episodes of glaciers spreading over much of the planet. Temperatures have been as high as they are now only about 5% of the time. But there is a peril more immediate than the prospect of another ice age. Even if temperature and rainfall patterns change only slightly in the near future in one or more of the three major grain-exporting countries葉he U.S., Canada and Australia 揚lobal food stores would be sharply reduced. University of Toronto Climatologist Kenneth Hare, a former president of the Royal Meteorological Society, believes that the continuing drought and the recent failure of the Russian harvest gave the world a grim premonition of what might happen. Warns Hare: "I don't believe that the world's present population is sustainable if there are more than three years like 1972 in a row,view-source:Science: Another Ice Age? - TIME
No. This level of warming has never been recorded. Ice core samples have been taken on the Antarctic continent and they can trace global temperatures back for thousands of years. Since the dawn of the industrial age the ice core samples have shown unprecedented temp rises. Stop the right wing lies!! They all lie!!

Global warming issues {pro or con} are promoted for nothing but profit-making ventures. It's the same racket - either which way.
I see that none of the commenter's watched this all the way through. So typical..
Please watch the vid all the way through or shut the fuck up!!
I've seen that vid before. Don't need to watch it again.
Refer to Al Gore's video and graph. He proved it himself that global warming/climate change is a naturally occuring event that causes CO2 increases, not the other way around.
It's the Republicans! :rofl:
Oh dear.
Global Warming advocates are like sheep... however follow the dosh and you see the real reasoning behind their actions.
That dude is an assclown and bsnub drinks generic beer.:)
Anybody else get the feeling that bg looks like this:Quote:

EARTH'S FUTURE IN HANDS OF WILF LUNN https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2008/04/40.jpg https://teakdoor.com/images/smilies1/You_Rock_Emoticon.gif THE Earth can be saved from the damaging effects of climate change with a series of contraptions built by Wilf Lunn, it has been claimed.
https://teakdoor.com/images/smilies1/You_Rock_Emoticon.gifA report by the Royal Society said Lunn's 20ft-long egg-boiling machines could be adapted to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then use it to boil millions of eggs.Mr Lunn with a prototype of his Egg-Boiling Trumpianomoscope
A spokesman said: "We had almost given up hope on finding practical applications for geo-engineering when Professor Brubaker suggested that man with the crazy moustache from Vision On.
"We now believe Mr Lunn's theory of contraptionistics can be used to construct gigantic, Earth-saving machines, while at the same time ensuring an endless supply of delicious egg mayonnaise for the drought stricken regions of sub-Saharan Africa."
Early ideas include a series of vast mirrors in space to reflect solar rays, 50ft tall CO2 scrubbers to clean the atmosphere and a machine that prevents former US vice-president Al Gore flying half way across the world in a private jet so he can show his boring film to some hippies.
To promote their new report the Royal Society is to stage an exhibition featuring children's drawings of Earth-saving devices which members of the public can view while listening to some lovely guitar music from The Deer Hunter.
Wilf Lunn said last night: "I shall need a ping-bong ball, a candle, two cheese graters and 28ft of copper wire. And an egg."
Bill McKay, an environmentalist from Peterborough, welcomed the report, adding: "My wife is an absolutely colossal scrubber, but unfortunately she does tend to make things even dirtier."
I can understand why people do not belive in global warming. i can even appreciate why people choose to ignore the obvious.
The extraction and burning of fossil fuels will affect the natural cycle of climate change. These changes will gather momentum, and the pace of change will have a major impact on how we live our lives.
Yes it has happened before, but never has it happened so quickly, or with such a devastating chain of unstoppable events.
In the very near future the natural cycle of earth changing events will see a catastrophic change and the earth will bite the human race in the ass very hard.
Enjoy now while it lasts.
Ya know Chass, I have lived thru the best century this world has ever seen, I have lived with planes that would hardly do 100 MPH and old bed sheets for a covering with paint on it to stop aircirculation thru the fabric to Titanium skinned ones that can surpass Mach-3, and some super speed rockets with enough juice to break gravity.
I went from a hand crank phone on the wall to this funny fucking contraption I am typing on and you will get it faster than you would have got ypur 2 longs and 2 short rings on the crank phone.
So no matter what happens to this world next is going to happen anyway and if we make it just a little sooner, it will not have changed anything really in the grand scheme of things.
Just be glad that you have lived in this last few good years that started in 1930 and will end for me in the 2010s.:)
^Agree.
OP. I dunno if I argee or not. What's argee?
we are all going to turn gay when it gets colder ??Quote:

I am philosophical about this BG. Nothing mere mortals can do to stop it.
As Bob Dylan said quite prophetically, 'the times they are a changin'
Just wonder if we are so fuckiun clever, why we did not see it coming sooner and maybe do something about ......... nope....... too bloody difficult.
B'stards.
I did not watch the film and i am not a big fan of the poster, but i do think we should accept that this is our shit.
I think the same, we are not able to stop it. So we should not waste money on trying but instead concentrate on how to live with it.Quote:
