I must say i am amazed at the knowledgable things that have been said here i did not think we had so many smart people on thisa forum and it is good to see. Being a practising agnostic i am as unconvinced about global worrming as i am about religion, but then again their is some very good theories around that i think we would be mad to ignore. <br /> <br />A few things that have got me concerned and being here in Asutralia i am viewing things from a sourthern hemisphere point of view. <br /> <br />1/ The hole over the south pole is nearby and and skin cancer is rampant in this country, is this a cyclic thing that no one would know about because hardly anyone lived here in the past. <br /> <br />2/ What if it is true and what do you think the emergence of India and more menacingly China will do. They are absolutle eating up Australian raw materials, I own shares in my last employer an instrumentailty of the Chinese governemt and i think i amm going to get a lot richer because of this but to what end if this is going to kill the world as we know it. <br /> <br />3/ I dont know how much where i live is above sea level but i can walk to the Coral Sea in twenty minutes and it is flat walk! <br /> <br />4/ rainfall in this country is increasing yet we have neen in drought for about seven years; the rainfall is moving north to largely unpopulated areas, Why? <br /> <br />5/ much of the interior of Australia is below sea level and when you look at the right sort of map you can see the chain of lakes etc through South Australia where an easy connection to the ocean will be a reality if the sea level rises much at all. If it fills up what will this do to our weather patterns and ultimatle the worlds? Not worried about people etc no one lives there. But this area is called Lake Ayer and many creatures and plants that were thought to have died out millions of years ago live there and what will this do to them? <br /> <br />I am not sure of what is happening if anything but i think the Sydney area from whence i cams is getting warmer say opver the last 40 years! <br /> <br /> <br />Rgds Ian
