Global Warming

Global Warming......whats all that about then...

 

For you youngsters out there..

 

A long time ago there was an ice age

This was caused by a fluctuation in the earths tilt to the sun...or some similar thingy

 

Any how the earth was colder than it is today and as the ice caps were much larger extending almost down to southern softie land.

 

Then however the earth started to warm up and the icecaps retreated creating behind them various geoligical features in britain such as the north south divide....might be wrong on this bit

 

However this process is still continuing and the earth continues to get warmer and the icecaps continue to melt....some low lyings areas such as Lincolnshire will be flooded by the sea....not all bad news then !

 

This warming process started many years ago ( even before the MK 1's )

 

Therefore when you hear all the news spouted around today about it being caused by jet airliners, huge power stations and V6 engines......it makes you think

 

What a load of rubbish...

 

The earth is getting warmer regardless of mans influence it is a natural phenomena and it will eventually stop and then get colder again......the icecaps will increase and cover most of western europe...as it has done many times before...diesels wont start even with their booster heaters !

 

Just thought I would let everyone know this and not worry about their fuel emmisions...unless of course they are black and oily

funny thats what the dynamometer reads :o

funny thats what the dynamometer reads :o

 

 

ahh but thats the HYPED figures quoted by the manufacturer! is that allowing for the acceptable % losses allowed or is that the we look good on paper figure :lol:

who said the engine was in the car :o

 

 

 

 

sshh - just keeping him ticking over :lol:

[Ivor_E_Tower]

(1) Global warming used to be attributed to the South American rain forests being chopped down, until it got convenient for politicians to blame it on vehicle emissions so they could use it as an excuse for more taxes;

(2) A single volcanic explosion puts into the atmosphere more pollution than all the vehicles of the world do, in over a year. Volcanic explosions are therefore more responsible than cars for causing global warming

You have a dynamometer in your car ! ( I actually had to google this to find out what one was ).

Ok..i wont.. :lol:

 

 

Thanks hun..ill try and get a souvenier :16:

[big_kev]

Geeze..people talk about me drifting off topic

 

Started as a serious ( ish ) comment about the imminent global warming issue.

 

Now progressed to the planned murder of MO4 by some knife weilding maniac !

[mumof4]

Yes long queue im afraid :lol:

 

Global warming.........yes volcanoes throw a load of crud into the atmosphere...but man is accelerating the progress i believe in global warming..it is mans obsession to continually better themselves, to find new ways to do things that cost the least that is doing it...It would cost companies millions to change the way things are done...

[NikpV]

what could be accelerating the process is the reduction of global dimming (reducing particle emissions - see London smogs last century)

 

:lol:

the heating up and cooling down of the planet is a normal cycle - theres even theory's that the entire universe does it, and that the "BIG BANG" was simply the last time the universe cooled so much it all came back to its centre point, collided, reheated, then expands outwards again.

 

there are a few theories to why the last ice age occur (my fav being a large volcanic eruption - there's strong evidence to support this idea).

 

The planets cycle - can be effected by the orbit of the earth around the sun, the exact amount of tilt the planet has to the sun, and the change in light intensity of the sun over millions of years, all this contributes to the earths temperature - BEFORE you even get to the earths atmosphere - in my view - these factors ought to play an equal if not bigger role, than the atmosphere itself.

 

what everyone is shouting about, is our influence on the planets cycle, because of our activities over the years, we are making the planet heat up faster than it normally would - according to the scientists - however, if we compare the planets cycle to years, sceptics also say, some "years" can be hotter than others, and were simply in a warmer cycle.

 

my view is, for everything we do, theres some form of reaction to it, the phrase "you cannot destroy, or create energy, but simply change its form" (something like that, so dont quote me) goes well.

 

so all the additional gasses were adding to the atmosphere, MUST have some affect, which scientists say, is a global warming of about 1.2-1.4

I think this has been said before but I'll say it again (because I'm annoying like that!)

 

 

 

Global Warming is an issue it will cause problems - but only for Man - the planet will survive whatever we do to it - it all will all start over again - it's just that we won't be around to see it.

 

 

 

By the way you tell all those people in Linconshire they're not coming round my house when the flood sets in- I've already invited someone so won't have the room!

I liked this article in Sniffpetrol on the subject of blaming everything on the car.

Yes it's true but at the top of an 85 foot cliff - with wellies and waders, and a boat. :P

Not if you have wet feet - Besides I thought you were heading to Lincolnshire not Bournemouth? :P

 

 

 

Don't worry - if you have a garden you can start building your own ark now beofre the flood comes - that way you will keep your feet and everything else dry :lol:
