The sun is not, repeat NOT to blame for global warming. So you can put that idea back in its box. Along with Martin Durkin documentaries.

You're several days too late. A couple of other people have already posted threads on this.

Plus you're also linking to the Daily Mail. You're in polite company here (at least relatively), and linking to the Daily Mail is simply not done.

I thought I'd balance it out, IE the mail (known for being stupidly right wing on occasion) and the BBC (known for being somewhat leftwing on occasion)

Sorry, but I will not become a tree-hugging hippie just because one theory has been disproved.

Well why not do it coz we get the best chicks?

Nope, but in fairness denying global warming is becomming more and more intelectually unreasonable. Increasing evidence for it along with discrediting of alternative theories really arn't working in you're favour. And no one is asking anyone to become hippies, just to be a little more considerate about their enviroment.

Except that's like saying because I drove a Porsche (ie the BBC) yesterday, today I'll drive a Lada (DM). You know, to balance things out.

Okay. First off, I would like to point out that there is a difference between denying something and not blaming it on human activity. Also, the idea of solar activity being the cause of global warming is not "alternate theories". It's just one alternate theory. And I'm not saying it's caused by solar activity. It's caused by declining numbers of pirates.

only if one likes unshaved pits and legs.

hehe

So I assume that you've done your part and put to sea armed with a cutlass bound for the Spanish main?

1. Ok cemantics, you are denying man made climate change, happy now

2. I didn't say just the sun not being a cause. I also refered to the theories proposed by Mr Durkin and others being debunked before

3. Funny...

Who's this "cemantics"?

How was I supposed to know that, when you made no earlier references to these other theories.

I'm being dead serious here. If you really don't believe me, take a look at this graph.

Nooo that's just not true. Okay some of em has, but you know it takes all sorts huh!

More of this!
What about communion wafers vs. spaghetti and meatballs?
Substance!

Yeah best chicks? If your talking hairy non-shower taking, high as a kite, no job and living in a tent in the woods kind of girl? I know I am slightly exaggerating but I think I will stick with the slightly conservative hot ones with a job and something going on in their lives.

*Rings the 'old news' bell*

:p

Also, failure of an alternative hypothesis doesn't mean that global warming as some people describe it is any more true. ;)

That's damn funny. :D

That's damn funny. :D

It is, I especially like the (number of pirates - approximate) but then the last figure is 17 - as opposed to 17 and 3/4?
