Global warming not going away

[Grin]

Yes yes.

And the world is flat

The moon landing is a conspiracy

Cigarettes are a health product

Asbestos is harmless

The mining industry will collapse if native title legislation is introduced

The mining industry will collapse if Work Choices is repealed.

The mining industry will collapse if the tax payer gets a reasonable return for his non renewable resources.

The more you spend, the more you save.

Global warming is a massive global communist conspiracy theory to take over the world.


We've heard it all before Hawka


You should run as a candidate for Family First.

Being a gullible nutcase seems to be the only prerequisite.


I think you'll find that if we pump heating absorbing particles into the environment, they will tend to absorb heat.

Despite what Andrew Bolt has told you to mindlessly believe.

No.

The gap between the understanding of this issue in scientific community and the public is very wide, largely by the doubt sewn by many of the same people, using the same tactics as were used to cast doubt on the harms of tobacco.

Most scientists understand that heat absorbing molecules absorb heat.
They also tend to understand that our oceans act as sinks, not just for heat but also for carbon, causing increased acidity.

"the same people"?
Why?

If you had five minutes more, you could have gone back in this thread and seen that these reports have already been dealt with.

Those papers have been panned thoroughly by all except the most rabid supporters of the ipcc crusade.

My apologies.

Things grin believes are true.

I should run as a candidate for the greens.

Agreed. We need more nutcases running with the loony party. It makes it all the more easier to debunk their religious beliefs.

I think you'll find that if we pump heating absorbing particles into the environment, they will tend to absorb heat.

You will find that the particles will radiate heat and also repel heat. Unfortunately for your fundamentalist ipcc beliefs, science is working against you here.

My apologies.

All sweet.

Wona, I'm still waiting for proof of your claims.

I've got to admit that the heat absorbing molecules thing lost me. My Engineering degree didn't delve too much into the chemistry side of things, but it did occur to me that if such molecules existed it would be good to make an Esky out of them.

Duh

They absorb and radiate heat.

Exactly the point.

Exactly the point.

I think you will find that everything absorbs heat if it is colder than it's surroundings and will radiate heat if its warmer.

Pretty sure this has nothing to do with the theory on how a small change in the makeup of the altmosphere affects the global temperature.

I tend to think that it is the actual mechanism of the warming that confuses people, since it's by no means straightforward.

Like your thinking.
