1410042 2015-10-22 20:46:00 But anyway, deforestation is quite high, for NZ... typo fixed ;)
"by the time the first Europeans arrived, up to 50% of the original forest cover had gone."


Hey lets just think about that quote for a few minutes. It says a lot.

1410043 2015-10-22 21:09:00 Surely the change from 280ppm (pre industrial) to the present 400ppm is more than miniscule?

I’ll bet if the Bank offered you 0.012% on your savings you’d call it miniscule. :D

1410044 2015-10-22 21:29:00 .and then there is Antarctica..........."It may be hard to believe, but Antarctica was once covered in towering forests." www.bbc.com Antarctica's flora losses are due to continental shift rather than climate change - according to a NatGeo episode the continent was once part of Australia.

1410045 2015-10-22 22:15:00 Actually Antarctica's flora losses are due to continental shift rather than climate change - according to a NatGeo episode the continent was once part of Australia.

Exactly but it sounded sensational didnt it.

yep, I know what youre thinking :devil
Aust Aboriginies burnt down so much Aus forest/bush that they did impact that local climate .

0.012%. What has that got to do with it?

1410048 2015-10-23 00:32:00 Ok, I know most of you wouldn’t have watched the Ivar Giaever video to the end because he wasn’t saying what you wanted to hear, but towards the end at the 27 minute mark there was a section about llam Samson’s Problem.

So for the Mathematicians and Physicists amongst you, click HERE (www.youtube.com) and move along to the 27 minute mark on the timeline where you’ll find this

6783 and tell me if he’s right.

I note he speaks of 20 years, not one, so I wonder if there is any consensus on this matter?

1410049 2015-10-23 00:57:00 0.012%. What has that got to do with it?

Because 120ppm is 0.012% and that's the increase in Co2 you quoted. :confused:

Ivar Giaever
Hmmn, another 'expert'.
"And I spent a day or so - half a day maybe on Google, and I was horrified by what I learned" . Yep, thats some damn fine research there. Everything on google is true.
Now he is being quoted as some sort of expert on climate change , on various websites

"While Giaever is certainly a highly accomplished physicist, that does not automatically make him a climate expert as well."
www.skepticalscience.com

and the other side of his story, just for balance :-)

But lets go to the claim that there are no scientists who dont believe in global warming, how often do we here that.
heres 1000 for a start.
www.climatedepot.com

Too much BS, from both sides of the arguement .

You are hilariously, ludicrously, terribly wrong.

The increase is from 280ppm to 400ppm, which is an increase of 120ppm, or 42.8%. Just a little different to 0.012 :lol:
