Global warming - an urgent problem requiring radical solution (no politics or religion)

That's better: quite funny, that one! The first one looked too serious.

It's important to keep separate issues separate. Urban pollution is one problem, global climate change is a different one.

Indeed a complex aspect of the relationship is that SO2 emissions, which are a nasty local pollutant, harmful to health and to plants, have been dramatically reduced by legislation saving many lives, but SO2 emissions have the opposite effect as CO2 on global temperatures (pumping SO2 into the stratosphere has even been seriously proposed as a way to reduce global warming). This may be part of the reason global temperatures paused for quite a while in the 20th Century before sulphur emissions legislation kicked in and the effect of the CO2 was unfettered.

There is currently a relatively modern problem with SO2 pollution in Asia, because they burn a lot of coal. Their (local) environmental standards will improve too, but whether global warming will accelerate as a result depends on how CO2 emissions change in the same period. All we can be sure is that since the 50s, CO2 has dominated any effect of SO2.

A wild hyperbole based on a false hypothesis. You are sticking to form.

My ability to explain a topic is no match for your poor inference skills.

I think kaynight is winning on points, to say the least.

I don't see where he choked up on spelling...

It is hazardous to assume anything said by someone who thinks the Apollo program was a grand conspiracy is likely to make any sense, calum.

[By the way, I infer that he said that because I used the word "inference", which presumably is missing from his dictionary].

Chess is a game.

Says the guy who believes people have never set foot on the Moon!

Methinks you're winning on points, and brevity too.  +1

It's getting hot in here... 

See, kaynight, you have two idiots on your side: you must be right about the Apollo program being a fake!

I don't.

Funniest quote from the denialist thread about global warming:

" So if the Universe is expanding as the Einstein equations propose it would seem logical that the warming periods and glacial ages would be more spaced being further away from previous happenings.  "

It is human nature for people who don't have a friggin' clue to not realise that they don't have a friggin' clue. kayknight is another such person.

Indeed. As an experienced troll you will know what to expect when you make an ignorant statement about all of those who work in an important branch of science.

If you don't want to discuss the science, get out of this thread and return to the one with the airheads.

Elroch trolled the troll. P*ssed him off. +1 to Elroch!

Thanks for the kind suggestion but, on reflection, you are blocked, dummy.  Seriously, you'll be happier with the airheads.

There are plenty of other forums for foolish people to sling empty insults at each other. It's bad enough dismissing the entirety of the science with a slur, but he didn't stop there.

You really need to learn something about Classical Liberalism.  And perhaps take that broom out of your arse too.

Indeed, you "sling it" as well as anyone in these threads.
