About climate change.

[gavroche]

I have read that climate change is also happening on Mars. Since we have been sending probes there in the 70s, it has been noticed that the ice cap has melted a little because the temperature has increased 0.5 degree in the last 40 years.
The conclusion must be that we stop sending robots on Mars as we must be responsible for that too!!

It's being covered up by the Freemasons and the RAND Corporation. I think Labour may also have had a hand in it.

So maybe the sun is warming up a bit? All the more reason to cut greenhouse gas emisions then!
Running uncontrolled experiments on your only home does seem a little risky. I mean, if I wanted to test how my house withstood explosions I'd move out first!

Perhaps the Little Green Men started getting all industrialised or something.

Im still waiting for the ice age the boffins said we were about to have in the 70's..got extra socks and everything...

 

[Drago]

Compared to the last 10 years the 70s were a relative ice age. It was so bad that very winter this strange white stuff fell out of the sky and settled to a significant depth all over the country. Not like now.

This should be in SC&P to get some proper responses.

you mean the part of the forum where the members that predicted a labour landslide in May post?..
probabley best in there then..

I guess we cant always be right but there are some guys that frequent SC &P that have some pretty specialist knowledge about these issues...and are very good at explaining them in an interesting and non confrontational way

Yours predicted an ice age ?!!! Curses - I still remember the ones a few years ago saying that we were going to have to learn how to grow cacti in the garden !!!!

The following this revelation the next climate change summit has been re-located to Mars. Just pop a rocket on expenses, but don't worry the water bottles will be re-cycled. Prince Charles is working out how to get his Aston Martin up there to meet him at the landing site.

I don't want to be too picky, but frankly that basic response is far too complex for your typical numpty denier. It uses concepts that require at least a basic understanding of maths and the scientific method, which most of them don't display.
