Tiger Moth Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 You made the statement, "People who deny global warming are to me akin to those who believe in alien abduction.". Wouldn't you say that your statement is an insult to anyone who disagrees with you? - basically flaming everyone who expresses an opinion not shared by you. I read Crichton's book an was very impressed to find that a great deal of scientific research counters scientific research that makes an unqualified claim that global warming is occuring. And, I believe that people who have the opinion that it is not occuring are not at all akin to those who believe in alien abduction. Personally, I don't know if global warming is occuring or if it is not. But, I believe reasonable people can have different opinions on the matter.

Julian2 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I enjoy Crichton's fiction but feel that is what he should stick to, his autobiographical "Travels" is definitly the work of some one with a few loose screws. I haven't read "State of Fear" but will watch for it in the local bookshops. I worry it will be a bit like a website address once sent to me by a born again Christian acquaintance that proved conclusively that the moon landings were a hoax.

Guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Ok, Tiger Moth, but how do you explain the ice core data? Which clearly details the state of the earths atmosphere over the last 200,000 years? I'm very open to being wrong and changing my opinion...do you really think i want to believe that we are causing disasterous damage to the climate? I'd be very happy to be shown evidence to the contrary, but thus far all the signs are we are fucking things up and i'm worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lusty Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 When the polar ice caps melt a bit more you will probably have to move inland somewhat.No such problems down where I live BUT you'll need to be a member of No3 Para to negotiate all the hills and steap inclines of the tough Kentish terrain on your bike,AND you'll have to do it quickly otherwise the local "chavs"will be away with your wheels!

Guest Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 LP, i'm really quite environmentally friendly...apart from breaking wind now and then and adding methane to the mix...so i do my bit, apart from the flatulence.... My efforts will make no difference. I guess i could eat a diet containing less fibre tho'... Governments and business need to change. Business controls govt....You wont therefore see anything radical until a lot of businesses start to lose profit margin....and that isn't going to happen soon! ND, take my carbon credits...go nuts... immolate a herd of buffalo, have a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
