Haha Muso - this is true - I think!??
As a literal being, and given it's placement, I have to wonder? What do you mean Muso???

Enigmatic statements can be expected from me, Roll Eyes

But what do YOU mean Muso. U r the mod.

I confess to being a simpleton, compared to some, ..about some things ................are u dissing me??????
Or am I PARANOID?

I'm dissing you, but only in a friendly sort of way - what I meant was that Soren was teasing you. (the bastard)

How very peculiar, my dear fellow. You seem to be arguing against a phenomenon called "AGW".

And here we were thinking you'd joined the faculty.

It just goes to show: a leopard cannot change his spots.

Well, it's really quite simple, dear. One minute you seem to be saying that global warming exists - it's just the idea of a state-imposed tax or ETS that's the problem. After all, how can you trust an incompetant government to solve a problem like global warming?

It will never work.

Then, lo and behold - you post arguments that global warming is not happening at all! It is all a big lie; an exaggeration; absolute nonsense; sh!t on stilts.

It's a shifting argument, of course. Well, an argument's a bit strong - it's more of a theme; a talking point; a point of departure.

A dream.

As we know so well, dear boy, all that is solid melts into air.

Truth is such a tricky thing, old chap, such slave morality. Why bother with such ordinary conventions as rhetoric?

As Mrs Beaton would say, first you must catch your argument.

sigh --

OK I can manage to get that thru my turgid grey matter .....ta M.

U ol' coochie coochiee Kiss

Yes - intake of fluid is most important for one's wellbeing - wet brains are better than dry ones.
OOOps bit off track there. Sorry.!!

It is so humid up here, and the frogs are full on vocal.
Gonna be plenty of wet here in QLD again this summer. Its actually started already , in Cairns, which received the highest 24 hr rainfall total ever recorded. (Presumably for October? Undecided

)

Up here in the news, we are told to expect a wetter than normal summer.... then they hasten to add, BUT not as bad as last yr. !! Lets hope they're right.
Already discussions have been had, and committees have met to address a recommendation that the Water authorities in charge of the major dams up here, start to release water from the dams NOW so that the floods of 2010 /2011, affecting towns and cities including Ipswich and Brisbane, don't happen again in 2011/2012. GOOD LUCK.

Could quote Bob Dylan ..the times they are a-changin'

And Good luck to you and all of us here.
So far so good.

AGW is not happening.
Even if it was, ETS/tax wouldn't be the answer.

I am sorry if I'm going too fast for you.

In fact - just spell it out pls

A is for Anthropogenic. Human generated (Gr, anthropos, human + L generatus, generate)

G is for global. L. globus, ball, round thingy, ie the entire Earth.

W is for warming. From Norse > OE. warm

Oh. And Tea is for Twinings.

You know that bit about carbon dioxide is produced when you burn anything with carbon in it?

- and the bit about carbon dioxide absorbing in the Infrared?

- and the fact that atmospheric levels have increased by about 30% since we started burning coal and oil?

- and the fact that if we continue to burn fuels etc at the projected rate, the atmospheric concentration will effectively double by around 2050 (give or take) ?

Well Soren is saying that all of the above are untruths/fibs/ fabrications by a conspiracy of scientists (and presumably I'm part of that same conspiracy) who want to take over the world (you know - the Hollywood stereotype of an evil scientist? Of course Hollywoood always gets their stereotypes right as we all know. )

Now on one side there is that band of reprobate climatologists and other "warmist sympathisers", which includes such nefarious organisations as the CSIRO, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and just about every Academy of Sciences in the entire world.

Meantime on the other side (the cowboys with the white hats), there are one or two very strange individuals, such as Richard (Smoking is good for you) Lindzen and Roy (God will save the planet) Spencer.

Soren's point is that these guys are right, and the rest are ... well evil scientists doing what evil scientists do.

Is that a fair summary?
