| 833731 | 2009-11-27 20:24:00 | That -50C claim is just airline propaganda to ensure you pay extra for an inside seat. Look out on the wings - see any polar bears? Just a wide open space with sunshine almost every day. If they let people out there with deck chairs, the first class seats would be empty, and revenues would plummet. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 833732 | 2009-11-27 22:23:00 | Damn Airlines, they’re always trying to pull the wool over our eyes. What’s worse, they’re all in collusion and come up with the same excuses. I once asked if I could sit on the wing, (there was a door just there) but they came up with some feeble excuse of there being 200 knot headwinds and they didn’t want to ruffle my hair. I guess it might have blown the froth off my beer also. Excuses, excuses, nothing but excuses, where will it all end? |

| 833734 | 2009-11-27 22:43:00 | Sitting on the wing is usually OK it's trying to use the tail fin toilet that can be a problem apparently the -50c temperatures cause things to drop off. I have been told by aircrews things falling off can be a hazard to civillians | gary67 (56) | ||
| 833735 | 2009-11-27 23:58:00 | Good point Gary. I certainly can’t see OSH approving falling, frozen appendages. :eek: However, if we can produce more greenhouse gasses and push the atmosphere up a bit it won’t be so damn cold sitting out there on the wing. I think compulsory vegetarian diets would be the answer. :thumbs: |

| 833739 | 2009-11-28 00:38:00 | Something is changing - yesterday was fine and quite warm. I got sunburnt a bit. Today, it is quite a different picture, so I will avoid sunburn two ways. No sun, and I'm staying inside. That is the way to fox climate change -use both barrels. |

| 833740 | 2009-11-28 01:24:00 | Maybe some of the supporters of the Global Warming debate could explain this: As I buzz along at 30,000+ feet the aeroplanes flight information tells me it’s -50C outside . Now the reason it isn’t -50C at ground level is thanks to the atmosphere, so I’m told and I have no reason to disbelieve this . Then, we’re told it is the greenhouse gasses that are the insulating factor in the atmosphere . So, does it not follow that if we reduce these in the proportions being recommended we should freeze to death, instead of enjoying 2C warmer temperatures and a 50mm higher tide? It’s enough to make a man break wind . :( I don't follow your logic . If you remove *all* greenhouse gases then, yes, we will all freeze to death, but I am not aware of anyone wanting to do that . Why do you believe that reducing "these in the proportions being recommended" will cause us to freeze to death"? And please don't break wind . It will just make things worse . |
