Re: Great Dying
 

until it happens its that kind of attitude which worries me, we should be worried and try to do something.

Sorry Andrew, didn't mean to mock - it was just too good an opportunity to pass up.....

/slopes off to consider what a bad CF'er he's been :(

Re: Great Dying
 

LOL no worries :D

Just concerns me some people just ignore this until when..we are fighting to survive, and are thinking " i wish i listened to the scientists warning us"

Re: Great Dying
 

Actually, knowing the way my brain seems to work, I'll probably be thinking:

"Jees, I wish I'd listened to that AndrewJames bloke"

I guess those poor dinosaur scientists werent clever enough to demand changes to refridgerators and to stop those pesky dinosaurs from lighting wood burning fires.

Guys it was a natural disaster.
Much like the tsunami in asia, even if we could alter the whole pattern this planet is creating, if the planet wants to cause some huge volcanic eruption that is capable of mass extinction theres not a damn thing we can do about it, same if a meteorite hits us, its basically tough ****.

Its taken probably thousands and certainly hundreds of years to create this so called greenhouse effect, suddenly changing our habits now is not going to make that much difference, the damage is done.
the crap that is flung out by our own planet in a volcanic eruption and the plumes of smoke from forrest fires is bad enough and all natural.

Also it may be that the 'greenhouse' effect may actually be nothing to do with us and is a natural aspect of this planet anyway.

I frankly think that humans know no bounds in their arrogance.We think we have such an influence on our planet that we can change it so fundemently when this planet has much more power to affect our everyday lives 'DESPITE' all our pathetic attempts to defend ourselves.

Apparently there is a supervolcano that last erupted in Yellowstone Park in the US thousands of years ago.It is predicted that it should renew the cycle of eruption any year now........

Re: Great Dying
 

If it does happen let me know because I've got a bottle of 100 year old malt that will need drinking, I'd hate for it to go to waste. :D :D :D

Re: Great Dying
 

the last time the supercaldera erupted was about 600,000 years ago if i remember correctly ;)

if anyone wants to read about it, take a trip to http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread37222/pg1 . ok its a conspiracy theory discussion board, but they have lots of research scientists and things posting there :)

and just to steer this slightly on topic, methane bursts worry me too. i saw a horizon programme about it abuot a year ago, and it interesting.... apparently all the ships sinking in the bermuda triangle is because of methane bursts dontcha know ;)

Re: Great Dying
 

There has been a discovery program on telly ( cable ;) ) and it was on about a project, to make ships large enough to house most of the world. All the West and most other countries IE: tribal and remote. in massive citys in space.

Far fetched but its a idea USA/UK are seriously considering. :eek:

Still too cold in Yorkshire, More Global Warming required.
