    Half of Antarctic ice shelves could collapse in a flash, thanks to warming

    Clearly you have no idea of renewable energy and how it works. As for carbon capture on a huge scale, you have to be joking. Far more sensible to turn North Africa and some other desert areas into self-sustaining forests. I'll give you some maths to dwell on. An area the size of Wales filled...

    Half of Antarctic ice shelves could collapse in a flash, thanks to warming

    You seem to forget that water (ice) at 0 degrees Centigrade expands as it warms up to 4 degrees centigrade. It's why pipes burst in the winter time! So don't tell me that polar ice melting won't raise sea levels.

    Half of Antarctic ice shelves could collapse in a flash, thanks to warming

    The point is that the 'trivial' amount of warning you refer to is enormous when applied to the oceans. They have acted like a 'heat sink'. If we had't had them we would have fried to death ages ago. The amount of carbon and other trash fuels we have consumed has also meant that we have...

    Half of Antarctic ice shelves could collapse in a flash, thanks to warming

    Tbe temperature on Earth has consistently but slowly varied from one extreme to the other about every 40,000 years and nature (living things) has accommodated the change by moving in the case of herbivores alternately between the equator and the arctic circle. The big difference now is that our...

    Turning C02 into Methanol

    I don't know where you got that information about hydrogen being more dangerous that carbon dioxide because its completely untrue! Hydrogen burns to give only water. As you may know the is nothing whatsoever harmful about water. Using excess energy in the form of sunlight to make hydrogen from...

    Turning C02 into Methanol

    The method you describe is not useful. The carbon in the methanol will entirely turn back into carbon dioxide when burned! Also using the efficiency of solar panels which is higher than you suggest is a poor argument. So, 85% of the suns energy heats your roof. So what! Very cheaply a house...

    Further ramblings from an old man on Climate and the Big Bang

    Foreword As quite a few of you will know, I believe the Big Bang Theory is nonsense. However, it has become pandemic in its ability to infect everyone's mind from birth because no one wants to annoy 'teacher' do they? We can always use the leader’s eyes and put our trust in paradise but that’s...

    More ramblings from an old man about the Big Bang

    Hi, Redshift is a measure of energy loss. When light loses energy, the effect is that its wavelength and possibly frequency. Certainly its amplitude is lessened; this is the 'height of the wave. Because of these changes the red shift section of the spectrum is increased. Just because the...

    More ramblings from an old man about the Big Bang

    Hi Jim. Interesting what you said. Thing is that we live in the past. Apart from what's in our heads everything we are aware of happened some time ago. We can't even predict what has already occurred. Quantum Theory does change things. Electrons are in touch with everything everywhere. The...

    More ramblings from an old man about the Big Bang

    Einstein can be forgiven for getting it wrong – his successors didn't do any better. The only thing that could possibly justify scientists’ expanding universe/inflating space theory otherwise known as the ‘Big Bang’, is the assumption that light must always travel in a straight line. Only by...

    The ramblings of an old man or a new way of looking at the Big Bang?

    Hi Tony, I had a book published in 2018 called "Einstein's E=mc2- an alternative view of the Cosmos". Very cheap from Amazon. Thanks again for your encouragement. Mike

    The ramblings of an old man or a new way of looking at the Big Bang?

    Thank you Anthony for your kind words. Much appreciated. Not many people have the courage to challenge what we have been taught. Not one scientist has argued with the points I made. But that's a long way short of validating them! Mike

    The ramblings of an old man or a new way of looking at the Big Bang?

    I can't see much of your reply that has the slightest relation with what I was talking about. You seem more interested in elaborating on your own theories than raising objections to mine. If you insert a number of mirrors between a light source and a receptor, you will increase the distance it...

    The ramblings of an old man or a new way of looking at the Big Bang?

    If we continue to believe in the Big Bang theory after reading what I have to say below, we will be wasting the short space of time left for us to stop our path of self-destruction. Homo sapiens, whom one BBC anthology researcher described recently as always having been quite ‘mad’, have...
