Other environmental issues
Jul 23^rd, 2017 at 7:14am

Since AGW is as settled a theory as any theory can be what other issues could be discussed?

1. GBR

2. Sea level rise and adaptation/mitigation (move towns or build sea defences?)

3. Bee colony deaths

4. GMO and the escape of frankengenes into nature, especially weed species

5. Superbugs and the search for a brand new kind of antibiotic

6. The antivaxx movement

7. Deforestation

8. Switch to nuclear energy for power generation?

8. Any others?

It is an excuse used by Dubyne to mask the fact that he is talking rubbish!

Please, keep the Dubyne bullshit to your stupid Ice Age thread, yeah?

Notice he won’t do a bit of googling to check the hypothesis about GCRs. Talk about brainwashed!

Must have been warmer and wetter in the UK 15-19th century when malaria was endemic. Grin

I have consistently stated that as the world warms there will be more evaporation from the oceans. Is there anything wrong with that claim? The water vapor will condense when it moves over land etc.
