We had a discussion recently on the board about anthropogenic (man made) global warming.
There is an important and easy to understand paper now published that should give everyone an understanding of the situation as well as the science involved.
It is here:

I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I did.
All the best

Anthropogenic Global Warming

I think you will find that every assertion made in the article referenced by Ray is exposed as a myth in the various links on this page. It also exposes as myth all the assertions made by Ray in his last lengthy post on this topic a few weeks ago. I was going to post an extended response then but Paul asked people to stop the thread so I refrained. Since Ray has chosen to raise the issue again I will respond now. I will rely on this link to debunk the claims rather than write my own rebuttal since people can decide whether to read it or not. You might also note that the various short articles referenced in the above link pose rational balanced scientific arguments.

The site Ray mentions may well be quoting rubbish.
BUT to quote the site Warwick mentions:-
"Of course, just because most scientists think something is true does not necessarily mean they are right."
I am sure there are a good few examples of that..........
Let's just get back to Crete please !!

I thought that this "warming" was global. I never realised that Crete was exempt!

very witty John ......Oh how we laughed !!
Most folks on here do not want to listen to long drawn out arguments from "experts", about things which are not exclusive to Crete. To remind you, the title of the Forum is "LIVING IN CRETE".
The subject is important, but not to the detriment of things the Forum was created to cover, such as "living in Crete" !!

How do you know what most folks think? Have you been inundated with PM's saying "BC please say that we think xyz as we are to afraid to express our feelings for ourselves?"
Perhaps you hadn't noticed there is much more on this forum than just a debate about global warming.
The forum is not just about Crete, never has been, and never will be. Crete does not live in isolation from the rest of the world and neither does this board.
If you want to argue titles, Living in Crete can just as easily refer to people doing (or thinking of doing) just that and it is a forum for topics they want to discuss.
Carol said just this a while back in one of the threads so thats not an isolated individual opinion

BC the answer is in your own hands. If the subject is of no interest to you don't read it! (How many times before has that been said?)
I thought that the posts from Ray & Warwick were excellent, no long drawn out arguments, just straight links to relevant articles.
If you are more interested in the relative merits of putting half a pound of bacon in the aircraft hold rather than in your hand luggage then that is your perogative. Just goes to show that we are all different!

You have attacked me so here is one for you. Of your 39 posts I read 38 to pick on the negative of some other persons post. You have no subject of your own and your parasite views generate forum suicide.
Go drink on your own and complain about the toilets, nobody is listening.
Enjoyed that. Thank you.
how brave of him.Most folks on here........

No it is not very witty on your part and the "we" is just you. Just a snide remark from a fool.very witty John ......Oh how we laughed !!

This Cretan Adventure thing is way beyond a joke.
Well said guys!
The regular members on this forum are more than capable of talking for and standing up for themselves!!
As John (RIC) said if the post doesn't interest you, don't read it!!
Since I joined last year, there have been some weird and wonderful posts, some have made me laugh, others have made me cry (with laughter or in some cases sadness), some have bored me rigid (usually things that I don't understand), some have enlightened me about things that I didn't understand until I read about it here. I've even read some books that I wouldn't necessarily have read if I hadn't heard about them on this site.
Crete is part of the world and so things that happen in the US, Europe, Greece, UK and anywhere else can play a part in life in Crete...
