Global warming - I don't get it?

Interesting talking point.
Do they come to any conclusions?

Yep, I am a discussing pig

To get back on the topic surely the reason Australia is warming up is that it is moving up to 70 mm NE each year. Closer to the equator and the rise in the sea level is just the bough wave or is it that the continental plate moves up and down as well as to the north. My KTMs will have oxidised into nothing before we know the answer.

Not just Australia is it ? I very much doubt the north or south poles rushing toward the equator is causing the ice caps to melt. The ocean pH level isn't changing because a continent is moving.

[micks]

and as lozza has quote about ocean pH that will lead into the next problem   oceans acidity    it`s all linked

Basically, the world stopped last time cause it froze over. I always run my two strokes fully in the powerband to keep the world warm! Passing thought.

Does "global warming" hibernate in winter? or just simply not work?

Global warming moves out of the southern hemisphere every June and travels north to raise revenue from Californians

GW doesn't really matter anyway, we're forked one way or another. A terrorist or religious zealot (pretty much the same thing) doesn't get us, a drunk driver, ice addict, disgruntled ex, corrupt politician, frickin' cancer or some other insidious disease, probably will long before GW does. Mother nature is having a fair old go at culling the over populated planet as well, I find it interesting (not a coincidence) that pretty much all the natural disasters which wipe plenty of people out happen in places where there are zillions of people. The moral to this story is do what you want to do today as tomorrow is not a sure thing. Buy the damn bike & have some fun!

Burying the head in the sand is what got us to this point. Saying it's all perfectly OK that dirt poor people can get "culled" in a natural disaster is disgraceful. 

[bigk]

No head in the sand here, it is what is & no point sugar coating it, the planet has too many people on it & IN MY OPINION nature is trying to reduce that number. I'm entitled to my opinion & don't tout your theories as disgraceful even if I may see them as such. I believe in the "luck of the draw", we're all lucky that we weren't born in one of those countries. I seriously don't believe it's any coincidence that the bulk of the natural disasters happen in highly (over) populated places. I'd hardly call Japan a dirt poor country either. It's just MY observation, nothing more, nothing less.

My thoughts .... Its just a cycle we are going thru and mother nature will tell us when she has had enough. ie raise the temp or lower  few notches as she has done before to tell us who is boss.
We are only visitors here for a short time and as Bigk has mentioned enjoy every day as tomorrow might never come.

   I have Agree with big K over Population is the biggest problem in the World today
   and most of it is coming from 3rd World Countries that are just breeding more breeding
   Cows .
    That's why they are all going to other Countries you only have look at Australia's
    population growth in the last 10 to 15 years and the Extra demand it is putting on
    Water / Roads Public Transport ect.
