What are everyones views on the global warming agreement today?
I think its really ironic that america didnt join, seeing as they are the cause of the majority of the problems..

Interesting point. However this is a global issue and not one we can pin on the US. Although I am concerned that they don't support Kyoto, we cannot expect the 'developed' nations to implement the changes if the 'Third World' doesn't have to match the controls. We won't achieve anything that way.
Its worth mentioning, whilst we feel smug, that although we harrass the US to sign up to the agreement, NOT ONE european country has implemented anything agreed.

If you look at the cycle of the sun spots you will find a 7 year cycle, a 14 year cycle and a 300 year cycle. Guess what we are at the hottest point and we will see things getting colder sooner and faster. It feels a little cold today for a early September day
Anyone read in the papers this week about the scientists who are speculating that Britain will have the climate of Northern Canada in the near future.

Baldog, if you had read on you would have seen the irony, it is global warming that will cause Britain's temperature to cool. As the icecaps melt, the billions of gallons of cold, fresh water pouring into the Atlantic will stop or divert the gulfstream, the current that keeps Britain warm while other countries on the same lattitude (ie Canada) suffer freezing conditions. Europe is warm because of winds blowing across Africa and Eastern Europe, conitental wind being a lot warmer than oceanic.
Hehe now I feel like a penis.
I didnt read the full article. Im still not convinced about global warming. The earth has always run in cycles of heat and cold.
BTW in case anyone did not realize, the reason that the oceans are rising is that we are constantly being bombarded with ice particles from space. Or do we only read the sky is falling articles from the Sceince Journals?
Your American, so I will forgive you for your obvious signs of stupidity. I did not say that the icecaps will melt quickly. I got my information from the a scientific study. From people who I admit are many times cleverer than me, and many millions of times cleverer than you. If you want to argue about my post, make your argument with a member or the scientific community. As for your "ice from space", if anything is stupid I would say that. Why exactly do these ice particles not vapourise in space??? Space is not cold thanks to a big orange ball we call the sun, or did your doctor forget to tell you that while he was wiping the spit and vomit from your bib?
The ice on the icecaps is ALREADY melting, thus affecting the entire planets weather system (it is partly to blame for El Nino). If the gulfstream ceases then European waether will be colder, not hotter.
I'm no expert on this, don't profess to be, but even I know that global warming isn't a good thing. I also know that it doesn't mean the end of the world, but could affect human existence.
Anyone got a 3 million factor sunblock I can borrow?
As far as I'm aware global warming refers to an increase in the total available active energy within the biosphere, mainly due to an increase in the trapped energy from the sun. The effects of this are damn hard to predict (as is any effect that is planet wide) but the various studies have had differing results, from global freezing to global melting. My bet is a more "extreme" seasonal variation between summer/winter. Eventually this could trigger another Ice Age, which I think we're about due for anyway.
BBH, I'm interested in the ice particles thing. Can you quote the source?? Why do they not vapourise when they hit the atmosphere?? Where do they come from, space is fairly notorious for being empty (hence the name!!) even in our relatively crowded bit of system space. How do they keep appearing?? etc....
