indeed Adrian nice gold lets hope you get back out there soon

This one is for you Adrian

Make what you will from this but I remember we were told the Ozone hole was getting bigger many years ago.

It is like I said; present day Global warming has nothing to do with man made pollutants in the atmosphere.
Even if we stop all world wide atmospheric polluting industry today and forever, Global warming will continue for at least another 4000 years.
    We either adapt or we die out.
This planet has gone through multiple warming and cooling cycles and we are still here. Trouble is that there is a lot more of us now and we have become dependant on technology and an easy life style. When the going gets tough the West may struggle to survive while third world countries who's people are used to tough times may out last us.

Just an opinion based on the superior intellect, knowledge and research of others who have come before me.

So how do we decide which science is correct? The science that states  Anthropogenic causes are correct or the science that states natural cyclical causes are  correct?
For something to be declared as Beyond Reasonable Doubt indicates that it could be incorrect. What we need are absolute facts, not conclusions drawn from theory.
There is ample past  evidence that indicates how wrong science and scientists can be when it comes to global environmental and astronomical science.

Quote “Just an opinion based on the superior intellect, knowledge and research of others who have come before me”

And again “There is ample past evidence that indicates how wrong science and scientists can be when it comes to global environmental and astronomical science.

Seems to me that you are quite prepared to cherry pick the data from yesteryear to support your opinion, but refuse to accept the findings of modern day climate scientists. Go figure.

Lucky your knee surgeon was a little more progressive!

I am not cherry picking anything I am simply indicating the differing opinions of many scientists who each believes themselves to be correct.
Each can put forward theories and data based on research and  experiment which can be for or against the opinions of each other and each can present so called proof that either opinion can be  correct or false
As for my knee surgeon; I am not so sure that he is all that progressive because he refuses to use the most up to date procedures and can give what appear to be good reasons for doing so while those surgeons using robotic knee replacement procedures claim that they achieve better results . The proof is difficult to find.
