It's pointless to argue into their heads the science behind everything as it goes against their 60s/70s teachers' outdated teachings, self interests etc. Where's the facepalm emoticon when you need it? :groan: Reminds me of the idiot on NZ Herald a few weeks ago. Moron says climate change scientists are not credible because we can't even accurately predict next Tuesday's weather, let alone the next century's. Seriously, some people need to go back to school and stop drawing conclusions from flawed and/or irrelevant analogies. :groan: Listen kid, when you are as old as me, you can start with the BS about the 60/70's, until then, you need to learn when to pipe up and when not too. AFAIK, most youngsters >25 are just full of their rights and how fcuken clever they are. The statement about the weather is valid analogies as a shows we do have all the answers!	SolMiester (139)

AFAIK, most youngsters >25 are just full of their rights and how fcuken clever they are. I don't need to be from that era to know that not everything taught then is still the case today. We know and understand far greater about the climate, man's impacts on it and how it works now than ever before. In saying that though, we still know relatively very little about the entire dynamics of the system, and that what we know and understand today is still not concrete enough (and therefore should be taken with a grain of salt, instead of dismissed outright and ridiculed). And just so you know, the cranial thing in my previous comment was not directed at you. ;)	qazwsxokmijn (102)
1157206	2010-11-29 05:29:00	The '70s??? Hell I still remember the '40s and '50s. No worries about global warming then. Every summer was perfect and the fish bit every time you dangled a cotton line over the side of the rowboat. Footies always went over the goalposts, cricket balls soared to the boundary, Philips and Raleigh cycles were the best you could buy, and even the Lucas dynamo worked. No good Richard,try telling that to the young today and they wouldn't believe you.	Cicero (40)

1157209	2010-11-29 09:30:00	Having all these theories about the global warming is all fine and great, The **** hits the fan when the scientists decided that can fix it and start messing with the atmosphere . How many times over the course of human history have we seen fundamental shifts in thinking; the 'discovery' of gravity or that the word is in fact round . The idea that we as a race are beyond being wrong now is laughable . It would be be very interesting to be around in 200 years to see how much our understanding of science and technology has changed . That being said it is very scary to see how we treat the environment, we would be foolish to pretend that it wont have any consequence on the planet .	Fifthdawn (9467)

1157213	2010-11-30 07:27:00	Its always made me laugh that scientists have predicted a 2.35 degree rise in temperature over the next 30 years, when they can't even get tomorrow's weather right. What does "30% chance of rain" mean?	porkster (6331)
