The dog is dead
The cartoon dog,
in the cartoon, was swallowed up by the cartoon waters. Big deal or storm in a teacup? |

Re: The dog is dead
Whereas you don't need to rpove that you are a ****, Spart. It shows.
I am talking about the No CO2 ads that have been aired recently. Hudreds of people complpained to the ASA. |
Re: The dog is dead
He's taking about the "scaremongering" British climate-change advertisement, which is drawing a large number of complaints. It shows a father reading his daughter a bedtime story in which puppies drown and rabbits are left without water to drink because of rising CO2 levels.
Pseudscience shouldn't be published... a lot of nonsense is spouted in the ad. :frown: |
Re: The dog is dead
the science/pseudoscience aspect is not what i'm interested in, and I think most will admit that it's a bit beyond their intellectual capacity to handle such stuff.
I'm interested in the dog dying/watershed aspect. |

Re: The dog is dead
OK, let's drop it then.
What do you reckon? |
Re: The dog is dead
There won't be a happy ending for humanity. How could there be?

Re: The dog is dead
So seven seas started a thread about an advert on British TV? When this is a forum for people who live in the ME?
Not as bright as he claims then... :rolleyes: - |

My grandmother would say: Either contribute to the discussion or shut the **** up.
But I'm just gonna ignore bitchy remarks, especially when they are designed to mask ignorance. |

It's not the 'watershed' or catchment aspect (which essentially doesn't change) that is important but a river's floodplain. Too many people live within the floodplains of rivers and so may expect more frequent flooding and expansive areas of flood-inundated riparian land, if climate change indeed occurs. This can be solved by adapting to climate change and moving people away (in the longer term) from low-lying coastal areas and/or further upslope from river floodplains. Hence, no need for dogs to 'die' in the future...:)

Much of the population of The Netherlands and of New Orleans live in areas below sea level, regardless of climate change and possible sea levels changes. They will always rely on engineering solutions and maintenance of existing levees/dykes; however, US Federal funding in the long term might opt for a relocation of people away from the low-lying parts of New Orleans...quite expensive but a solution nonetheless. Most of the houses that I have seen in New Orleans' poorer suburbs are wooden constructions...so perhaps not too expensive to shift people into new housing areas? |

I don't think that is what SS meant by watershed(?) - isn't the issue that the ad was shown before the "watershed" time (9 pm) and contained images and ideas that were inappropriate for kids???

Re: The dog is dead
Holy ****, an actual discussion!!
But we can't exactly relocate Bangladesh. It's not that easy, otherwise they would have done it years ago. |

Bangladesh is such a poor country that is low lying, receives seasonal monsoonal flood waters from both the Ganges and the Brahmaputra iver, and the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta is both eroding and land-forming (prograding) in different areas. The country doesn't have the financial or construction material resources for river channelisation or dyke construction. Can only see a reduction in population and translocation of people from low-lying areas to higher ground, else encourage stilt housing within the delta. Though, it is likely that oil will be discovered offshore and exploited in the future to provide the necessary cash flow. |

If sea level rises are on the way, then the US Army Corps of Engineers has a huge job on its hands to raise and strengthen the artificial levees surrounding low-lying areas of New Orleans.
rivers will go where they want and only an astronomical sum of money being spent continuously can even begin to hope to alter that fact and in the end the river will still win out. |

Re: The dog is dead
Wow- my social skills are more such a fascinating topic to some sad people with worthless empty lives.....
Meanwhile, back in the real world: I have a feeling all of Bangladesh is a big floodplain and no amount of stilt-house construction or temoprary dams can do much , even in the short-term. We hear about Bangladesh because: -the lingering effects of the media-attention caused by the visits of some pseudo-hippies after the disastrous invasion by Pakistan -it is kinda near us -there are millions of pepole there, many of whom die as a result of the floods. Other areas where there is coastal erosion and loss of wildlife don't get much attention. There's nobody there anyway, and certainly nobody to reoprt it. The old 'if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it..' question makes no sense in Bangladesh because there is not a single square foot of land that's emtpy. |

Re: The dog is dead
Wow, really?
stilt houses in the same conditions...? I have a feeling that bangladesh has only been a semi-permanent floodplain for the past few years. Otherwise why would have so many people settled there? |

Re: The dog is dead
so the increased birthrate, is it due to a spike in sexual apeal of the Bengali male/female?
Or improved fertility/life expectancy /live birthweights thanks to the availability fo medicine and know-how? I still can't understand why they don't just do the same as they do in the countries you mentioned.... or what the dog has to do with it all... |
