Perhaps you are thinking on a global scale and are linking it to rising sea levels,(perhaps do the calculations for us on how many roofs at average annual rainfall would be needed to make the oceans rise 1cm) or that wont happen according you restricted ice melt theory. When you do that, perhaps point out why that then makes global warming bunk? |

It is not in any way shape or form related to this topic. Relevance on the other hand pertains to significance, bearing or importance. Don't presume to know what I mean, I can quite capably speak for myself.

As for borers, wasn't the scare a little while back about the water table being too high? Finally, salt keeping ice frozen? BZZZZZZ - Exactly wrong. Salt melts ice. That's why in frozen climates a salt and grit mix is sprinkled on the roads to melt road ice.

So ltd you actually think that all the rubbish we eject into the atmosphere does not effect the overall climatic conditions of this planet?.

The only thing that the global warming crisis will ever affect is the level of money taken from ordinary people and given to "special" groups. Of course recent history is littered with stupid people and interest groups pushing fear uncertainty and doubt to further their agenda.

salt will melt ice when it is exposed to it for very short amounts of time or for that matter concentration, explain that Einsteins. That is all p.s. I forgot to add

So the pics mean nothing then??
Again you need to go back to what someone else is telling you to believe because they have a PhD after their name?? If you guys are gonna argue, that's fine, but try to make it your intelligence and understanding, not one you've borrowed. Ice in water does not re-freeze, it melts, that's why you need a top up of ice when using it to cool drinks.

Why don't you try my experiment? Take one block of ice and sprinkle salt on one half of it. Wait a while and see which half melts the fastest. |

wow all this science.
water cannot boil/freeze when under pressure. provided the pressure is greater than the temp applied.

Getting past all the hype, there has been clear evidence for sometime of climate change. It is chronicled in ASHRAE/AIRAH weather bin data, indicating changes in design conditions, heating degree days, cooling degree days, etc. Being professional associations they provide this data so that buildings are engineered to have adequate climate control. Undertstated ambient design conditions can translate into substantial under estimation of cooling and heating loads with the risk of installing very expensive, but deficient refrigeration plant and equipment. I agree to some extent with your comment about deep bed aquafiers being starved. The side effect is loss of trees, which would draw from the groundwater. The loss of trees results in sub surface water rising, along with salt, killing more trees, until there is a dead swamp remaining. Gum trees are particularly useful in keeping water levels down, too good when it came to the Everglades. |

Back on topic. Has anybody here read Ian Wishart's book Air Con: The seriously inconvenient truth about global warming?

Interesting Reading. If the 65% of Australians who "agree with an ETS, but admit they don't understand it" read this they may think again before being so eager to subject us to a huge and unnecessary jump in the cost in living.
Here’s a way to understand Mr Rudd’s Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme- Imagine 1 kilometre of atmosphere that we want to rid of human carbon pollution. We’ll have a walk along it. The first 770 metres are Nitrogen. The next 210 metres are Oxygen. That’s 980 metres of the 1 kilometre. 20 metres to go. The next 10 metres are water vapour. 10 metres left. 9 metres are argon. Just 1 more metre. A few gases make up the first bit of that last metre. The last 38 centimetres of the kilometre – that’s carbon dioxide. A bit over one foot. 97% of that is produced by Mother Nature. It’s natural. Out of our journey of one kilometre, there are just 12 millimetres left. About half an inch. Just over a centimetre. That’s the amount of carbon dioxide that global human activity puts into the atmosphere. And of those 12 millimetres Australia puts in .18 of a millimetre. Less than the thickness of a hair. Out of a kilometre. As a hair is to a kilometre – so is Australia’s contribution to what Mr Rudd calls Carbon Pollution. Imagine Brisbane’s new Gateway Bridge, ready to be officially opened by Mr Rudd. It’s been polished, painted and scrubbed by an army of workers till its 1 kilometre length is surgically clean. Except that Mr Rudd says we have a huge problem, the bridge is polluted – there’s a human hair on the roadway. We’d laugh ourselves silly. There are plenty of real pollution problems to worry about. It’s hard to imagine that Australia’s contribution to carbon dioxide in the world’s atmosphere is one of the more pressing ones. And I can’t believe that a new tax on everything is the only way to blow that pesky hair away. Perhaps we all need to just take a few deep breaths. vik... |

Perhaps look at what makes up your body, in the typical human there is about 6grams of iron, about 0.006% iron(hope I got the arithmetic right there). Change that amount by even 20% up or down and you can make that person very sick. The same thing regarding the function of CO2 in the atmosphere, its exact composition makes a big difference to the heat in versus heat out numbers While the % is small it has increased by 40% since the industrial revolution, if your iron levels increased by that much you'd be dead. |

Erm people who think global warming is myth seriously need there heads read.
You cannot pump all that shhit into earths atmosphere and expect nothing to happen.Although i will agree i do think some scientists do scare monger the situation,but if they dont the issue would have a blind eye turned to it. Someone mentioned something about the temps riseing a few week ago how they can remember being a teen and being out in the water surfing with no protection yet now there out in it 30 mins and burnt to shhit. What about the gaping hole in the ozone layer,who created it ermmm that was us.It may be the equivelant of an hair over that 1 kilometre but we are still adding to it like every other country in the world. Yes the world does work in cycles we probally will never no which way it will go but we are as a civalisation a contributing factor to global warming But only you can make that decission The RED pill Or the Blue pill The decission is your's.
