I wonder how they know what the sun activity was during the MWP - bearing in mind the figures only change by a few percent?

Global warming?
It's a lot of hot air! It'll all blow over shortly. :p |
Re: Global warming
Big Al just did it again....
In his speech yesterday Mr Gore told the conference: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.†However, the climatologist whose work Mr Gore referenced has since stated “It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at. I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.†An Inconvenient Truth again…. :rofl: |

Now we have Gordon Brown coming to the rescue as the first leader to arrive, well that's a poisoned challice if ever there was one. I imagine nothing will come out of this pathetic meeting other than the extra CO2 in the atmosphere from the 15000 flights used by the delagates. |

They could have made the most of this technology/internet age and done it all live on the net and via video conferencing. Thus saving more CO2 emissions.

I fully agree. Why on earth cant they use video conferencing?

Re: Global warming
Global Warming…
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle6961361.ece Heavy snowfalls last year, starting in October, resulted in 2.5 times greater use of salt and grit, relating in depleted salt stocks. Extra stocks were stockpiled during the year. By 9am today the UK was cut in half by snow, Gatwick and Luton airports were closed and four inches of snow had fallen. Twitter is full of people pleading for more gritting trucks and snowploughs. Global warming… :blink::blink::blink: |

Re: Global warming
Back to global warming...
All countries which are signatories to the Kyoto Agreement of 1997 (ie. have ratified the Kyoto Protocol), have agreed to limit their carbon emission to a predetermined amount. Alternatively, they can offset their omissions through the process of Carbon Credit Trading. This involves buying credits from someone else. |
Re: Global warming
If Australia cut emmissions by 50% the result would be a world cut of 0.65%
But... If China and USA both cut their emmissions by 1.57% the result would be a world cut of 0.65% Just thought I would put it in perspective. If the whole world, excluding China and the USA, cut their emmissions by 25% the result would be a world cut of 14% but If China and the USA cut their emmissions by 25% the result would be a world cut of 35%. A couple of US States: Emmissions per capita : State : Total Emmissions 37.01 Kentucky 156,800 36.43 Indiana 230,830 The above two US States total: 387,630 for a population of 10.5m compared to Australia: 18.74 Australia 372,013 for a population of 21m |
