    As I said elsewhere, the vociferous minority control the passive majority. There fore ALL muslims are homophobic and want women to stay at home, because those who dont have no voice.

    Are you always this consistently wrong? :-D My experience has been that those who do not share the views of the 'vociferous majority', keep their own council, and behave according to their beliefs. Your experience has been different. I'm OK with that.

      Only too true:

        No, it hasn't

        Yes it has, because there is no water vapour response to temperature increase, thus the suppsed amplifying factor that makes CO2 potentailly dangerous is NOT at play.

        Maybe some other factor will play a more significant role than thought (eg changing ocean currents, jet stream, melting permafrost, etc et-bloody-cetera.)

        The first two dont add heat. The last might release CH4. However CH4s absorption band is totally overlapped by water vapour [^] . It doesnt last long in the atmosphere either. It reacts quite easily. (In fact it burns).

        I am pointing out that it is a FACT that doubling CO2 leads to 1C rise, and that water vapour is not increasing. These arent predictions, possibilities, maybes. There are facts.

          True. It is what they have to do to attract investment and stay in business. They also have to keep their prices competitive to stay in business. In the event of competing businesses not reaching a mutual agreement to desist from actions that endanger a species (including Homo sapiens), Government must be persuaded to enact laws compelling them to do so. However, a watertight case must be presented based on empirical evidence - no computer modelling. :-D

          In the past capitalism has created wealth from the resources available to it. The following generations have been able to clear up their pollution, and still remain far wealthier than all preceding generations. You may not think that this will continue, but I am more optimistic. You may be a glass half empty chap, I may be a glass half full. At least we are not Erlich who would tell us there is no glass, and even if there were, there is nothing to put in it.

          Well, no - because doing nothing is also a decision, a choice, and you could therefore just as well say that doing nothing - preserving the status quo - must also require a watertight case based on (etc).

            Less than 10% or Germans were Nazis. As Churchill said: "A fervent minority will displace a complacent majority" It is basic human nature. One psychopath, 10 thugs to do his bidding, and the other 89 get fucked. That is the way it works. You need to realise this. The trick therefore is to give those 89 a voice. The power to control the aggressive minority in their midst. And this is what we see in Islam. Most muslims are just average people who want a simple life looking after their family, spending time with their friends, enjoying themselves. This is universal human nature. But then along comes the assholes who make a mess of it.

              This IS climate science. This is what climate scientists know. What you are failing to do is listen carefully to them and instead listening to the media. If you read what is actually said by the majority of climate scientists you will see that they use terms like 'might' a lot. Of course temperatures 'might' rise exessively. They also leave plenty of room for them not to rise that much. Look at the IPCC. Look at the range of temperature changes they talk about. They include what I have stated here. A small rise.

                Ottmar Edenhofer, lead author of the IPCC’s fourth summary report released in 2007 candidly expressed the priority. Speaking in 2010, he advised, “One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth.” Or, as U.N. climate chief Christina Figueres pointedly remarked, the true aim of the U.N.’s 2014 Paris climate conference was “to change the [capitalist] economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution.”[^] So, all you believers, prepared to accept the truth?

                So the context is clear... Google Translate[^] Ottmar Edenhofer makes it clear that the context of this discussion he is tying "emissions" as directly correlated to "economic growth". And he mentions the reality that coal producers (owners) are not going to like this because it will reduce their income. It is also clear that these statements were made some time ago. And the renewable landscape has changed radically since then. For example the investment China has made since then.

                  Those who wish the capitalists to desist from actions that endanger one or more species, would be presenting their argument to Government to introduce appropriate legislation. The capitalists would be presenting the 'do nothing' argument, in order to preserve the status quo. Whichever argument the Government opts for, it had better have been the watertight one, history can be unforgiving. :)

                        Why 'of course'? After WW1 Britain & France could have left the Middle East to its inhabitants. Rather than carving out artificial suzerain 'states', kingdoms. Old habits die hard. The USA deemed it necessary to overthrow the secular governments that replaced the kingdoms. From Iran to Syria.

                          Carving up the ME under the Sykes Picot agreement, so Britain could get its hands on oil, wasn't a direct cause of 'suffering of the masses'. The way it worked was Britain wold role up to a country that had some resource worth exploiting, do so, and then put about 47% of that money back into the country in roads, schools, hospitals etc. It was a pretty good idea really, for the country concerned, to get the British in, who had the money and expertise to get to the resources, and the market to sell them to. OK, you can say that throwing three different tribes together and calling it Iraq is going to cause problems, but that is only because they hate each other. There has been warfare between sects of Islam for ever, and whether Britain and France are there or not isn't going to make one bit of difference. No, the assholes I mean, the 'fervent minority Churchill is referring to' are like I said the Polpots, the Hitlers, Stalins, whoever the cunt was in Rwanda who cause the deaths, for no reason at all, of almost an entire tribe. Those assholes.

                              Fuck all is the difference. Sunni and Shia have been at each others throats for many centuries. Where you put the fence in the sand makes sod all difference.

                              You cant please all the people all the time. Governments are always putting down insurrections. It is probably more likely that the violence would have been worse without a crushingly dominant military force present.

                              No it didnt. It has got worse since we left. Yes, Blair IS an asshole. No denying that. The cunt is a war criminal and should be locked up.
