| 1404616 | 2015-07-18 08:58:00 | BM I suggest that you can never change the deeply held, almost religious, beliefs of some members of the forum so don't waste time trying to do so :) You mean the belief formed because of, and backed by, almost irrefutable evidence and the consensus of the vast majority of scientists? Just like some people believe the world is round because of scientists, silly them for falling for such a con job! |

| 1404618 | 2015-07-18 09:13:00 | Tell you what, to change the subject from climate change, we could always re-open the debate on whether Einstein did or did not say in his 1905 paper, that nothing could travel faster than the speed of light.........OR......whether the Moon causes/triggers earthquakes...........OR.......whether the forces exerted by planets such as Venus also trigger earthquakes, or even that the tectonic plates are so finely balanced that a butterfly fluttering his wings in China could cause an earthquake in NZ :banana Good spotting. Every single earthquake in NZ has been preceded by a butterfly flap event. It is believed on very good evidence that if also preceded by a butterfly fluttering HER wings in Brasil, there will be two high tides on that day. Ripley never even noticed it! Thank gof our gov't has put in some extra cycleway for just such an event. |

| 1404621 | 2015-07-18 10:14:00 | They still haven't found Terra Australis Incognita yet either. The general scientific men of the day were convinced it existed. Alexander Dalrymple even drew maps of it. Capt. Cook proved them wrong. Scientists are not infallible. Merely human like the rest of us. As for the speed of light Terry, I think that even Einstein had his doubts in his last years. :) Ken |

Hard evidence drives science, not the whims of those who believe what is convenient for them, whether it be politically or financially. |

| 1404623 | 2015-07-18 21:10:00 | For me the fact that it is those that are making cash out of the whole climate change/AGM subject are the on the pro side of the debate and stand to lose the most if they are disbelieved makes me deeply suspicious of what they say. Having said that both sides seem to be very good at ignoring any evidence that does not suit their personal views. I tend to believe that it is all a very well executed Con job. BM I suggest that you can never change the deeply held, almost religious, beliefs of some members of the forum so don't waste time trying to do so :) I absolutely agree with you on all counts Clive but it’s dealing with this “Green Pagan Religion” that makes for hard work because they have totally closed minds. The bottom line is even if the average temperature rose one or two degrees as they are predicting, it doesn’t matter, and even if the oceans rose 8-12 inches it doesn’t matter either. But the killer is they had to fudge the figures to reach those conclusions. :lol: |

Stick around for a few more hundred years and we may then have a better idea of who and what is correct.:) |
