Have you had a chance to see it again?

The climate has always changed and always will no matter what mankind does. The Sahara was once green and lush even up to relatively recent times. The temperature records to which you refer are very recent. The world has been a lot hotter before. We are in an inter-glacial period which has continued for a few thousand years more than the previous ones. There is evidence that an ice age starts very quickly, maybe within a matter of months. http://io9.gizmodo.com/5119304/ice-ages-start-and-end-so-suddenly-its-like-a-button-was-pressed-say-scientists Interesting reading, to be taken with the usual pinches: http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/ice_ages.html

I have never denied that there has been some recent warming, I am just questioning the reasons for it.

Disappearance of glaciers in the developing world?

Cut down the CO2 and you reduce the crop yields. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/barbara-hollingsworth/record-co2-coincides-record-breaking-crop-yields-greening-globe And when I was young the scientists all agreed that we were overdue an ice age. perhaps it's only the increased CO2 that is keeping one at bay?

We're doing ok but it could very easily go either way. My feeling is that finishing higher than 7th is going to need something very special.

Even if it causes an ice age or mass starvation?

You could hardly say that the ref gifted them two goals. Both of those should have been simple catching practice for Fraser.

The science is changing all the time, especially when it doesn't hold up to the evidence, like the time that somebody realised that they hadn't included the amount of cloud cover in the system models, or that the canopy of the tropical rainforest had increased because of the extra CO2 and they couldn't measure this with satellites. All calculations are constantly changing. I have never said that what I was offering was new, I am just replying to statements that you repeat. Yes, CO2 is one of the greenhouse gases. Yes, we pump a lot of it into the atmosphere. Yes, temperatures are rising somewhat. So what? Correlation does not necessarily imply causation. Despite all that is said there are a lot of other factors which have not yet been included in the models because there is as yet no related science.

But you have to compare natural CO2 sources with all the carbon sinks. Water vapour is far more significant that CO2, as are lots of other gases.

Good idea. How much do they want for him?

If nobody knows how the term 'derby' originated then surely it's acceptable to use it wherever you want? Anyway, there are some who argue that usage of English determines its meaning and not the other way round.

Can we resurrect the thread from his first six months here?

Fingers crossed it will be.

Until the end of the season then.

I blame the goalkeeper. And I have to say that the refereeing was extremely biased. Lots of imaginary fouls on Bournemouth.

It would require a unanimous vote amongst all existing members. Any one can veto.

I said on Saturday that they'd finish above us. I didn't think they would get there so quickly.

Wrong setup at the start and we never got going after that.

Let's hope nobody found any streams, for their sake.

Only one team wanted that tonight. Woeful, dismal, dire how many words are there for crap?

That refers to a CETA between Canada and the EU.

Turkey will not be joining. There's one fact.
