The serious point I was making is whether global warming is due to CO2 (or part of a natural cycle) is itself open to debate
That will come as a shock to many but like the big bang theory you have to dig deeper for alternatives
Finding a few places around the world at any given time that are colder then average of course doesn’t dismiss global warming or the lead/prove a ice age that was a part joke
However what I found annoying is the billions spent on ‘global warming investigation’
Put that money into building flood defences in India
Why do you find this annoying? Climate has a big effect on human society so surely it is worth trying to find out more about the effect we may have on it?
Hm, but if we can a find a way to make the earth warm less and sea-levels rise less then we may have to build them on a lot of coastlines This might cost...more than billions
Read this book (or one like it)
Amazon.com: Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming: Books: Bjørn Lomborg
You then might understand that spending 250 billion over the next 20yrs reducing carbon admissions to reduce the worlds temp rise by 0.1c would be better spent elsewhere
What are you talking about? You were criticising people investigating global warming - what is wrong with trying to find out the scale of a problem/situation that faces us? The cost-benefit of various scenarios thereafter is a different matter To be honest with you, i do question whether the repercussions of global warming will be good or bad overall. Its a huge topic covering a lot of spheres and the media does like dramatic headlines/stories so it is difficult to know what to believe... I do also sometimes wonder how these GDP figures are calculated. If america and europe become 5% richer but bangladesh is wiped off the map then i would guess in purely GDP terms this could be a positive thing as bangladesh's GDP is comparatively so low. Ok, so the bangladeshis could go somewhere else (although they wont have much choice in the above example) but where would take them on and why should they have to make the choice because of someone else's actions? Migration can be a controversial topic. Ok, so that is a bit of an extreme example but i think it illustrates the point quite well?
Eat all the cows... problem solved.
