Title: Anybody watch the Climate Wars program on BBC2 last night ?
Post by: Tony on December 17, 2009, 11:03: I found it very interesting, concluding part tonight.

Was watching an argument on Russia Today on Freesat, the weather expert for the sceptics wasn't half giving it some. Especially had it in for a guy from the Indian Tata company [ not on program] but an important guy on a global warming committee or something. He the expert reckoned, the Tata guy closed the Redcar steel works to make a killing out of carbon trading.

I record it Clive on my new Foxsat HD-R straight from the EPG :thumbs:

Anyway last night, all though the vast majority of scientists agree humans are contributing to global warning. Analysing Arctic drilled ice cores, it has been proved that the climate change from the ice age to the warm age for want of a better set of words happened just like that. So even though the temperature could rise to the tipping point, thanks to man's activity. It could also feasibly go tits without our intervention.

The cores under discussion, prior to the change, over twelve month periods looked like frosted glass, meaning it was snowing all the time. Then the cores suddenly started to record a frosted portion [snowing] followed by a clear portion [not snowing]just like that. No transition period from frosted to clear, it just changed like that, clear,frosted, clear, frosted

Very interesting, but like anything worth watching, they put it on late at night. Saving prime time for the likes of come dancing, I'm a celebrity......it's time we stepped of this planet as we obviously don't deserve it.
