>Global Warming Chickenlittleism  - Richard Mills - Ahead of the Herd
I've already had a debate with one person who is unpalatable so not looking to trade insults. I will help if I may.

Water expands when heated just like other liquids. Water behave strangely between 0C and 4C. It expands when cooled below 4C but apparently begins to contract again below 0C. I believe the behaviour has to do with the covalent bonds between the hydrogen and two oxygen atoms.

I understand that ocean temperatures and the vertical temperature gradient are increasing, but then the deniers will claim, like everything else, that things are always increasing and decreasing. An easy way out but I'm not buying in as with all things to do with this new frontier of science we will see as time passes.

The huge rises which are flashed around sound like science fiction. Personally I cannot come at 3 metres in a few years and I do not know if the science community have made any such claims. I'd be thinking that sea level rises will play out over maybe 100 years but average people will find it difficult to debate predictions as we are talking serious computer modeling which may or may not include all factors and may end up a best guess in the right direction. I believe that scientists have to be careful and moderate predictions ( with statistical probabilities) as well as err on the side of caution because the deniers are a well funded and aggressive bunch who are waiting for the least slip up to come in hard to scuttle the science and end the research.

It is good to see you come back on task: I do not understand how this article slipped in....maybe to see who is paying attention.

I wonder if silver is a short as has been suggested for some time on this website. Experience (and pain) has taught me that small investors are normally burnt. I never buy a hot tip in the paper as this is when the big boys are off loading. So I wonder if the same is happening with silver...there was an increase in production in the past 12 months and Comex had a net inflow whilst gold had the opposite.

Ain't investing fun. A real mind game. I'm with you though on the metals and have a balanced portfolio. Good luck....and stay away from sea level. A good place for the deniers to put their money where their mouth is.

Beginning of the headline :The nature of the recently released report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is extremely alarmist. The report warns, with a 95% certainty, that global warming is man-made and that the resulting  climate change will lead to: Rising temperatures, drought and increasing desertification Warming of the oceans and rising sea levels Shortages of food Loss of ice sheets & shrinking of glaciers Increasing intensity and size of storms There’s no doubt our climate is changing,...
