Robyn Williams and Oreskes try to better his 100 metres SLR by 2100 claim. This would now require about 3 feet feet 8 inches SLR per year by 2100 to fulfil his stupid forecast.
You have to read this concocted garbage and understand just how idiotic and clueless Williams, Oreskes and their ABC really are. You wouldn't expect this level of stupidity from a retarded 5 year old child. And this fool is the compere of their ABC's science show?????? Unbelievable.
Hi Neville,
Thanks for the link to Part 2 of Ridley's talk. I especially liked the success stories of Spitzbergen wildlife, and of Arctic wildlife in general; as well as the comparison of Haiti to the neighboring Dominican Republic.
Coincidentally, (Green) Haiti is rated as the poorest country in the Americas region. It also has had a history of incredibly corrupt governments. Sometimes the USA will send a shipload of grain to help the starving Haitians. Then the potentially life-saving cargo rots in port, because their idiot goobermint can't figure out a way to distribute it.
Ridley's comments about species extinction pretty much mirror the Loehle and Eschenbach study. And because I hear two respected sources saying the same thing, I have more confidence in their conclusions. All three of these gentlemen appear to be on the up-and-up.
Not being a biologist, I'm not in a position to give a detailed critique of the extinction studies. When discussing this with friends, we should remember the caveats. Only *documented* extinctions of mammals and birds are discussed in the studies. The results apply to species, but not to subspecies. And the low extinction figures apply only to the larger continents. The main point is that we 'evil' humans are NOT causing a Permian-level mass extinction event, as the eco-loonies dishonestly claim.
There's always room for improvement, but for reasons that Ridley has pointed out, goobermint-mandated impoverishment in the developed countries may have unintended consequences for biodiversity. And shipping wood chips from the USA to England for Green energy is absolutely nuts!
Funny how those island nations are growing not sinking. SLR is not a problem as even the ABC admitted in 2010. Tuvalu, Kiribati etc are doing just fine.
That is true and there are a couple of reasons for that, the great leap forward in medical science and the Modern Climate Optimum. The latter because populations increase in warm times, but we do have a problem which needs to be rectified.
For over a hundred thousands years life for homo sapiens was not easy, survival was precarious, a feast or a famine. Which may go some way to explain why humans are unknowingly eating themselves to death.
