    Big oil is a massive force bro as you well know. Trillions. They entirely fund the low IQ denialist movement. Fucked up but these dipshits swallow exxon, koch and other oligarchs cocks.

    Rubbish. The whole scam is based on fudged data from people with green investments. What a dumb arse you are. Every IPCC report has been plagued with massive errors.

    Big oil responsible for IPCC blunders are they?

    You're a brain washed ignorant lefty fool.
    And you're the kind of gullible fool that Exxon Mobil loves.

    You don't need it. You just need to swallow their rubbish and repeat it whenever you see a climate change conversation.

    They've clearly got your number.

    What rubbish? The rubbish has been coming from the IPCC. Their models are woeful.

    I get that some people make millions from the scam. The fools are the lefties like you that make zero.

    Meanwhile normal people get on with life without thinking the world is going to end due to the latest scare campaign be it y2k or swine flu or gw bs.

    Btw I've planted 80 plants the past 2 years which is probably 80 more than you. GW nutters are always the biggest hypocrites. More interested in posting crap on forums than practicing what they preach.

    But carry on being ignorant on the topic if it makes you feel important.

    Just the sort of evasive nonsense that Exxon tells people to write.

    Yes, but China doesn't give a fuck. They are commissioning coal-fired power stations as fast as they can build them.

    So they don't spend a lot of money trying to influence Western opinion on the environment.

    Lets be quick to point out though that throughout most of the rest of the country it has been a record hot summer.
    So 97% of the scientific community are in agreement that we are facing a global environmental crisis.

    So why aren't the United Nations, the leaders of the civilized world and the USA federal goverment in particular doing something to counteract and stem the damage being done to the planet by the petro/plastic world economies?
    Why aren't more zero emmission mandates being proposed instead of being repealed?
    Why isn't petrol and plastic rationing being proposed?
    Why aren't renewable resources like bamboo, hemp, cotton taking the place of petro/plastic products?

    These are questions precious few are asking or even aware of.

    The media isn't asking them becuase they are owned.
    Governments aren't asking them because they are owned.
    The education system isn't asking because they are owned.
    Most people aren't asking because they too are owned by a petro/plastic banking cabal bent on greed and global domination.

    It is time for people to start asking these uncomfortable and inconveneint questions, regardless if it means petrol rationing, zero emmission mandates, and a few less hamburgers. No more fat subsidies for the meat industry which is also raping the planet.

    If you've ever done a postgrad in environment-related studies, or have worked with such people for a significant amount of time, you will come to notice that it's not in the interests of a typical PhD student or early-career researcher to go off-message. You have to put the same reworded para at the start of every paper, if you want to progress or have a career. It's all very well going on about "big oil", but it's not that common to see oil money directly going into academia. I know a prof whos got several million for a bp-related project, but this has to go through so many filters, and i can't see any sign that the output is influenced at all, the work people are doing and the papers have the same first paras, and O&G companies want that association for their csr scorecard. This fantasy the likes of bsnub (I've lost track of who amongst you is pro or against actually) has is just not borne out by evidence or experience - there's too much scrutiny - academic careers are precarious and people tend to follow the herd to pay their mortgage - "big academia" is more accurate, really. Yes they want money, but they can't afford to lose reputation by selling out to companies that the eco-mob want to make pariahs, because they need to maintain government support via the voters.

    Honestly, you lot... just try an experiment - replace the "evil energy and plastics and industrial military complex" stuff from your little tirades and replace it with something utterly different, and re-read what you've written, and tell me it's not hysterical, paranoid, and silly. It sounds like a lurch to extremism because nobody really agrees with you... reminds me of how the Labour Momentum mob behave.





    Maybe this is just a thing that Americans are susceptible too - I appreciate their education system and media is pretty mediocre by British standards.

    Or maybe you too are falling for the oil company nonsense.

    After all, that's why they spend millions:

    To try and influence public and opinion and block any legislation that lets them drill, frack, burn and pollute whatever the fuck they want to, without any worries about the consequences to the environment and to people.

    Seems you are a bit clueless as the average day time temperatures in Wyoming in August are 80's day and 50's night. Just thought I would throw in a couple of facts.

    ‘Next year or the year after, the Arctic will be free of ice

    Scientist Peter Wadhams believes the summer ice cover at the north pole is about to disappear, triggering even more rapid global warming


    Why should we be concerned about an Arctic that is free of ice in summer?

    People tend to think of an ice-free Arctic in summer in terms of it merely being a symbol of global change. Things happen, they say. In fact, the impact will be profound and will effect the whole planet and its population. One key effect will be albedo feedback. Sea ice reflects about 50% of the solar radiation it receives back into space. By contrast, water reflects less than 10%. So if you replace ice with water, which is darker, much more solar heat will be absorbed by the ocean and the planet will heat up even more rapidly than it is doing at present.

    Sea ice also acts as an air-conditioning system. Winds coming over the sea to land masses such as Siberia and Greenland will no longer be cooled as they pass over ice and these places will be heated even further. These effects could add 50% to the impact of global warming that is produced by rising carbon emissions.

    What will be the effects of this accelerating increase in temperatures?

    The air over Greenland will get warmer and more and more of its ice will melt. It is already losing about 300 cubic kilometres of ice a year. Antarctica is adding to the melt as well. Sea-level rises will accelerate as a result. The most recent prediction of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is that seas will rise by 60 to 90 centimetres this century. I think a rise of one to two metres is far more likely. Indeed, it is probably the best we can hope for.

    That may not sound a lot but it is really very serious. It will increase enormously the frequency of storm surges all over the world. We may be able to raise the Thames barrier in Britain but in Bangladesh, it just means more and more people will be drowned.

    Global warming is generally associated with increased fossil-fuel burning and consequent rises in levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. But is that the only climate problem we face?

    No it is not. We also have the issue of methane. Russian scientists who have investigated waters off their coast have detected more and more plumes of methane bubbling up from the seabed. The reason this is happening is closely connected with the warming of the planet and the shrinking of the Arctic icecaps.

    How intense is methane as a heater of the atmosphere compared with carbon dioxide?

    It is 23 times more powerful.


    This Luxury Cruise Liner Is On The Front Lines Of Climate Change


    This week, a massive, luxury cruise liner departed from Anchorage, Alaska, on the first leg of a 32-day cruise through the Northwest Passage.

    The Crystal Serenity is carrying 1,070 passengers and 670 crew members. It has boutique shopping, a casino, a theater, and several bars on board. Its nine passenger decks tower over a hundred feet above the ocean surface. From these decks, passengers will see views that for centuries have been largely the provenance of intrepid explorers and a scant population of native people, clustered in hamlets that can be separated by hundreds of miles of Arctic tundra and icy waters.

    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

    So the bearded little bitch was funded by big oil ....555
    I guess that ran out so he shifted his poncing to the global warming gravy train

    Come on lads up your game this is getting too easy .

    Good point - if the weather changes ..

    Interesting to look at where the titanic hit the iceberg



    1912 ? ie pre global warming
    What the fuck was an iceberg doing, breaking off and floating all the way down there, way down south...

    Maybe its because climate change is natural , has always happened always will

    It shows that, to some degree, it snows every year in Wyoming.

    It's a northern state with mountains you blithering coffin dodger.

    Would you believe in climate change if it stopped for a year?

    When the temperature hit 0 degrees in the middle of august in twente Holland last week where were the mountains? Sorry there aren't any and that's in the summer too. Of course it was the night.
