Evening all! Not posted for a while. Somehow there seems to be bigger things to worry about at the mo. Anyway, not sure what Max has done to upset peeps, he always struck me as an upright sort of chap, made the odd miss call but who hasn’t. I guess what I’m saying is let’s not throw stones at each other, instead, lob em at Putin!
Off message:-
Seasick, had a quick look at your page. Up for a family holiday for 2 to 3 weeks in 2024. Kids live wildlife, sea and sun. Sounds like yours sort of field. I guess I can get in contact via the website early next year and make some plans?
Might want to check these numbers but I think they are reasonably accurate.
The world naturally produces around 700 Billion tonnes of CO2 per year. It has also absorbed roughly this amount so there has been a natural balance. Humans currently add around 34 billion tonnes thus tipping the scales to a quick (in geological terms) increase in CO2. The planet is probably absorbing another 15 billions tonnes but this is causing ocean acidification etc. This leaves around 15 billion tonnes just sat in the atmosphere thus aiding a global warming of the atmosphere. As Layla1 has pointed out, the planet does naturally warm and cool, the trouble is that the current warming is very quick and is already causing mass extinction etc. Change has already arrived, all we can do is hope to limit its effects through cutting emissions and the development of new tech . Fingers crossed for fussion to come on stream asap!
Gazal, Interresting point about cancer rates although life expectancy has gone up which, I guess, means more people will die from cancer. I might be wrong with this one bit, I think that Parkinson’s disease has only occurred within the last century.
Slightly off topic but has anyone seen the documentary/ art piece about the “missile alert” that happened in Hawaii 2018?
Terrifying!
I remember catching a very small write up about it at the time but nothing else..
BB, in essence, what you’ve said there is true, but, there where some somewhat gloating posts and I think that they rubbed some people up the wrong way. I’m sure you’re a big boy though, should be water off a ducks back to you!
