What's changed?
« on: January 27, 2015, 06:02:06 pm »
OMG,
Hi 30’s in Perth this week, we even had high 40’s in our north west just recently. I can’t remember how I used to live without a air conditioned car, home and workplace growing up but somehow I did?

Hurricanes , Heatwaves and Blizzards , Floods and Fires of never known dimensions . There are still people that live in air conditioned offices that  are denying climate change .


I feel the climate is warming a touch BUT I don't think it's anything that the humans are doing, shit we are living around a ball of molten lava; sure the place is going to warm up  ;-)

I didn't get my first air-con in a car until 1997, when I was 37, now I need it ha ha.

OK I see we have some misinformed persons here regarding "climate change"a load of bullshit thrown around so we mugs pay unnecessary taxes/ extortion to conmen and  bludgers for more bullshit remedies. Professor of Life Experiences (self declared) Derrick  (aka Tim754) shall now put forward the real reason things seem different.

THE WORLD IS NOT GETTING WARMER! INSTEAD GRAVITY IS GETTING STRONGER DUE TO INCREASING AMOUNT OF HUMANS!

Yep here be the proof of my discovery. When you yes you , were 17 to 25 years old you could leap out of bed after a long night of boozing/shagging and general debauchery an arrive at work in good nick.
26 to 35 you found it progressively harder to do same as you and your partner/s had produced children, there by increasing the population , increasing gravity.   
35 to 40 the downhill cycle of more kids continues and yes you are feeling the strain a bit harder to get out of bed.
40 to 50 Some of your earlier offspring are starting to have wanted/ oops unwanted off spring themselves increasing the gravity and shite , the shag all night then jump up and flee to work with a smile are now memories..
50 to 60 You groan inwardly and outwardly too at times as you attempt to rise of the edge of your cot to a sore and sorry standing state, Worse still there has been no boozing and bonking..You beloved partner reminds you the offspring are bringing the herd of gravity increasing ,obnoxious, annoying terps she mistaking calls the gorgeous grandkids this weekend to increase the heavy load on your shoulders.
60 and above , haa now I got ya by the short and curlies, The neighbourhood now has had every vacant block around filled with shitty boxes of bricks with sweet fook all backyard and loads of ignorant sub humans filling them...... remember the bit about more people increasing gravity.... from here on in getting to a standing position from ya bed is a increasingly painful bloody nightmare!!   
Then one day the population/gravity pull get to the point ya don't get up anymore .... forever.......    I win ;)

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Same thing with time. As we get closer to the end of the universe, the gravitational pull of that event is speeding time up. As a result, it is going by much quicker now than 40-50 years ago when we were kids. That's why you've never got enough time to do stuff, you're spot on when you think that.

Whats an "air conditioned car" ?
If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

In my life time I've personally seen a " once in a thousand year event " 3 times now and will probably see a couple more before I move along. :o

My thoughts on this, for what they're worth. (2c.)

Option  1:  World is still Warming out of the Last Ice Age:    Probability - roughly, say... 50%

Option  2:  World is starting to Cool into the Next Ice Age:   Probability - roughly, say.. 50%

Option  3:  World climate & temperature will/cannot/should/must not change:   Probability - Exactly 0%

NASA's claim that 2014 was hottest on record:  Probability - 38% (their estimate) That's a FAIL.

Personally, I prefer a Warmer world to a Colder one. But I'm a Queenslander by choice, not by accident. 8)

If greenhouse gasses can/will or are preventing Option 2:,  I am prepared to evolve & adapt.
If the World was to Cool by 2C. Humanity will burn EVERYTHING it possibly can, just to stay warm & fed.
That will be an environmental disaster.

Also:  LIFE SPEEDS UP  -  Expansion of the Universe is accelerating, not slowing down.
Better try to keep-up or you'll just keep falling further behind.

Cheers, DJ

Hah DJ, it's all that undetectable dark matter and dark energy that's making things speed up isn't it?

As for global warming... errr... climate change... I like how quick NASA was to jump on the hottest year evah bandwagon, shame that BEST and the UK Met office weren't quite so unequivocal.  I guess we'll see in time just how much CO2 emissions affect your scenarios 1 and 2.

Personally I'd like to know more about these hurricanes, floods, fires and heatwaves of hitherto unseen proportions referred to earlier. I'm not convinced.

On the news yesterday.
Scientists were checking the water temps UNDER the antarctic glaciers.
Anyone see a problem with this.
