First topic message reminder :

To Stencharse and Tommy , read this and weep.

I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it:

Yes Nicko... before the start of this cold period, widely known as 'The mini ice age', the River Thames never used to freeze over during winter... but during this cold period, it froze over a lot...

'...The Thames had frozen over several times in the 16th century (1500's) — King Henry VIII travelled from central London to Greenwich by sleigh along the river...'

'...Between 1600 and 1814, it was not uncommon for the River Thames to freeze over for up to two months at time...'

And during this time we have seen much warmer and colder periods... most of the last 8000 years were warmer with slightly lower CO2 levels... while the 'mini ice age' during 1600-1850 had higher co2 levels than these other warmer periods...!

Key findings of the Greenhouse Gas Bulletin

Carbon dioxide

CO2 is by far the most important anthropogenic long-lived greenhouse gas. Globally averaged concentrations for CO2 reached 403.3 parts per million in 2016, up from 400.00 ppm in 2015. This record annual increase of 3.3 ppm was partly due to the strong 2015/2016 El Niño, which triggered droughts in tropical regions and reduced the capacity of “sinks” like forests, vegetation and the oceans to absorb CO2. Concentrations of CO2 are now 145% of pre-industrial (before 1750) levels.

The rate of increase of atmospheric CO2 over the past 70 years is nearly 100 times larger than that at the end of the last ice age. As far as direct and proxy observations can tell, such abrupt changes in the atmospheric levels of CO2 have never before been seen.

Over the last 800 000 years, pre-industrial atmospheric CO2 content remained below 280 ppm, but it has now risen to the 2016 global average of 403.3 ppm.

From the most-recent high-resolution reconstructions from ice cores, it is possible to observe that changes in CO2 have never been as fast as in the past 150 years. The natural ice-age changes in CO2 have always preceded corresponding temperature changes. Geological records show that the current levels of CO2correspond to an “equilibrium” climate last observed in the mid-Pliocene (3–5 million years ago), a climate that was 2–3 °C warmer, where the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets melted and even some of the East Antarctic ice was lost, leading to sea levels that were 10–20 m higher than those today.

Methane

Methane (CH4) is the second most important long-lived greenhouse gas and contributes about 17% of radiative forcing. Approximately 40% of methane is emitted into the atmosphere by natural sources (e.g., wetlands and termites), and about 60% comes from human activities like cattle breeding, rice agriculture, fossil fuel exploitation, landfills and biomass burning.

Atmospheric methane reached a new high of about 1 853 parts per billion (ppb) in 2016 and is now 257% of the pre-industrial level.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is emitted into the atmosphere from both natural (about 60%) and anthropogenic sources (approximately 40%), including oceans, soil, biomass burning, fertilizer use, and various industrial processes.

Its atmospheric concentration in 2016 was 328.9 parts per billion. This is 122% of pre-industrial levels. It also plays an important role in the destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer which protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. It accounts for about 6% of radiative forcing by long-lived greenhouse gases.

I suggest you read the links, because its evidently clear you have no idea what you are talking about.

Or how humans have influenced climate change

Plenty for you to digest

Let me know how you get on

Over the last 8000 years it has been mostly warmer/as warm as it is today... while CO2 levels have been consistently slightly lower than today...!

Or at least that is what the scientists experimental research tells us...

But it is impossible to know for sure... unless they can zip back in time to various places round the world, and do actual real life measurements of each place/time etc... and prove the accuracy of their claims...

Until then... none of their claims about long term historical temp/CO2 levels can be considered as accurate...

And even the actual measurements of temps over the last 100-150 years, 'since records began', are considered to be unreliable in accuracy... as well as there being such a limited number of geographical areas/places/regions around the world where any temp measurements even happened for most of this time, which means that it is impossible for anyone to claim any realistic 'global temps' with any degree of accuracy over the last 100-150 years anyway...!!!

Like I said, you have no idea what you are talking about.

I even posted an idiots guide video for you to understand.

As to your claims on unreliable.

Anyway, I have posted countless evidence to easily refute your uneducated claims

Enjoy

Try putting up your own thoughts and arguments, instead of links to biased bullshit sites...!

Site disruption" -- any member engaging in conduct which moderators deem a significant disruption will be warned or basemented. This includes excessively making personal insults, excessively turning threads into flame wars, creating threads intended to antagonize other members, and other anti-social behaviors.

Threatening a fellow member with violence is fairly anti social in my opinion.

Errrrrr you might be taking Wolfie into the basement there angry

Listen up, Smelly, you braindead fuckfaced racist moron...

I haven't threatened anyone on here..
Andy hasn't threatened anyone on here..
Neither veya nor Quill has threatened anyone..

YOU are the only one continually and repeatedly threatening people with violence.

Andy and I might well get 'basemented' occasionally for rude and obnoxious,behaviour..

It seems that you though, you army-deserting "blacks"-hating fearmongering spineless maggot, are deliberately trying to get yourself permanently banned -- Are you, Stormee and Philagain running some kind of competion between you -- trying to see who can accumulate the greatest number of bans from the greatest number of sites in the shortest period of time ???

Between you Didge, and veya, Ben, Andy, Quill and myself, over the last couple of years between us we have posted so much info' and so many links, thoroughly debunking so many of Tommy's anti-'climate change' and anti-science claims, that we could probably compile a book on the subject !

The only thing I threaten you with is my intelligence

I can't help it if youre a caveman cowering in terror under the shadow of my towering intelligence thinking it some kind of God.

As it stand I'm still here, with no charges brought against me, so you're a liar or you're just an overly hysterical snowflake jumping at your own imagination.

Either way you're irrelevant.

Now back to the bullshit of climate warming change
