It says alot when Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Managing Director of the IMF is stating his opinion on how a carbon trading system should be adopted by the world, and those countries who do not support a carbon credit trading system should have their goods subject to tarrifs i.e. a carbon tax. No mention at all of CO2 reduction interestingly enough though.....
This whole climate change debate looks more and more like the build up to the War on Terror, where proof of WMD is comparable to the climate change science evidence. We all know where the WMD's were don't we?! It's a scam. Who'd have thought the air we breath could be taxed.

Yes I saw that on Lateline. It's hardly surprising when the big wigs involved in all this are all bankers and experts on investments. All the major organisations/groups have been said to involve the questionable people, groups such as the IMF, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg, World Bank, Fed Exchange etc.
The bankers do the money stuff and use the paid off scientists to come up with the side reason to push their reason through |

I was a sceptic too in '96 when I did the HSC... 3 unit geography and got in he 90-100 bracket, including an essay I wrote on the reasons why global warming could be wrong. I used to argue with everyone I met about it, until one day in about 2001, when a mate of mine, who is an environmental scientist, sat down and answered every one of the questions. Stuff like Volcanoes producing more CO2... not true, he showed me the reports on it. He went through and showed all the science behind this. Please read through all of this article, all the FACTS. Yes I know some have trust issues with science, but really... if you went to 13 doctors complaining of chest pains and all of them told you you needed a heart transplant, would you keep doubting it and calling heart burn? |

There could very well be the old NWO deal attached to this issue but biosphere one is a closed system if i remember rightly.

It is indisputable that the world was on average cooler in the recent past than it is now, and it is also indisputable that in the more distant past it has considerably warmer. In fact, during the majority of the phanerozoic (since the start of multicellular life) the Earth has been mostly warmer. During the Cretaceous CO2 was much higher than now, temperatures higher, and the sea level was around 150m higher; great swathes of the continents were covered in shallow inland seas. This is also a time of great productivity, huge forest with huge trees, populated by huge creatures. The cold periods were associated with formation of supercontinents, and warm periods as they dispersed, as they have been doing since the eocene. So we may be inevitablely heading to a new equilibrium. The problem is one, we are evolved along with our agriculture and companion species for cooler climates, and two, the rate of change is so fast evolution can't track it, so species are going extinct. It would seem to be highly likely that the fact that we have burn't a good percentage the accumulated hydrocarbons of 500myr of biotic history, in a hundred years or so, could just be a contributing factor, to accelerating the rate of change. It is not life on earth that is in danger at all... it is life as we know it... now personally, I don't care with they way we are take the environment for granted... so let's bring it on... time for a successor species.

Mutant re=tard monkey fish frogs? They could be our sucessor. They'd probably do a better job running the planet too.

And this is my biggest problem with the "science", all of these scientists, ok most, would be strong believers in evolution, yet when there is profit to be made Darwins theory is thrown out the window. Who's to say that this isn't simply the pre cursor to the next evolutionary stage, how can they preach it yet not include it??

Yep, has risen and fallen in temp in the past, coinciding with carbon levels. If you want a really good, simple explanation of all this, watch Crude: The amazing journey of oil. It goes through the life cycle of oil... from how it was formed in the stagnating oceans.
Amazing really because the twist is that we're creating the same conditions that oil was formed in... ocean currents slow down as the water heats up because there isn't as big a difference in the temps at the top (from the ice). Oxygen stops being replenished in the oceans (cold water holds the most oxygen) and the seas stagnate, killing off life. Algal blooms survive in this tough environment, use up the last of the oxygen, then kill off everything, including itself. Falls to the bottom of the ocean and creates oil over millions of years. Watch it here at this link, or rent it on DVD. Pretty damn amazing! CRUDE: The amzing journey of oil |

Ummm most changes come about because they are brought about by the species (or other predator species), not as a consequence of nature, nature has influence of course but the species usually put themselves into the position. Whether that be by over use of resources or poor maintanance of their surroundings, so if you look at it that way then we are doing what we are supposed to do, forcing the change.

Most other changes are geographical and/or meteorological causing divergences of species over time. But i digress ,yes this one is on us..

One scientific theory is that CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, are just an indicator and not the cause, of temperature rise, some time after 'Mother Nature', or the Sun has affected an increase. Correllation of different sourced historical data from ice cores/tree rings/etc, seem to indicate CO2 concentrations increased AFTER a temperature rise. We may have a situation where too many people think that 'the tail wags the dog'

Doctors and the scientists in question are a completely different circumstance, that reference has no merit. Docs are their in their job doing it every day and getting paid from each patient, some scientists on the other hand have known to be inefficient in their work due to releasing certain information in order to gain $$ for a grant or to provide the right information to a group for a price. The anglia emails is proof of part of that. |

Woops, what was that you said?? It seems that many of you forget that "life does rebuild", habitation does re occur, if this is our doom then so be it. I really think that the movie "Ice Age" was made by a "skeptic" after all while everyone is running around like it's their last day you have a hand full that are resigned to the fact that, well put quite simply "shyte happens".

I don't call a meteor hitting the planet and throwing dust into the air so high, kind of like 1000 nuclear bombs going off at once and covering the planet so that temperatures dropped to a level that could not sustain the majority of life and covered much vegetation so that even those that could starved until finally many of the species of that time were extinct or close to it, a natural occurance. It could be seen as a freak meteorological occurance, but certainly not natural, the fact that we just happened to be in the wrong/right spot at the wrong/right time as it was going through our solar system, well that's just a coincidink.

I'M NOT FULLY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER , AS I'M NOT A SCIENTIST and sadly i'm not too trusting of anything these days as i've lived long enough to see scams in almost everything .wether it's true or not .
aside from human causing harm to the planet though , on the news a few days ago there was talk of a large volcano in the phillipines expected to errupt soon as it is becoming overly active recently , aside from that the ring of fire is also becoming more active . if this large volcano errupts it is said to make KRACKATOA look like a baby firework. if thats the case the sun would be what they call a " blue moon " creating a quick mass climate change . another point ( this one is fact ) AUSTRALIAN SKY AND TELESCOPE MAG, published the 10 top stories of 2009 our sun came in at no#6. STATEING : " A QUIET SUN" : The sun continues to go through a quiet cycle not seen in almost a century. Sunspots are rare, and indeed it's one of the deepest solar minima on record, frustrating solar observers. The quietness has also been revealed in a drop in the solar wind's speed and density - that shrinks the heliosphere and allows more cosmic rays into the solar system . : WHY THE HELL ISN'T THAT MENTIONED ON THE NEWS ?????? |

I'm gonna have a little read of the IPCC report over the weekend. I am pretty sure that like most other reports, the politicians will have exaggerated or bent it to whatever suited them.
Out of interest, how many here have read this? qs |

Because they are still figuring out how to tax the sun, although with the push for home based solar energy they probably aren't too far off Gov - "How many panels do you have??" Res - "10 why??" Gov - "That will be $100 annually per panel in Sun tax" he says with a smile while rubbing his hands and wondering "what color should I get my tax payer funded Lamborghini??" Kind of like how now that so many have water tanks the rates are starting to creep up, they add value to your home therefore the government must make money off your back yet again. If they could get past the moral issues on drugs they'd legalise them yesterday and start collecting the tax from that as well.
