Patrick Moore's PhD was in Forest Biology, back in 1974. He stopped doing any sort of research when he became an activist for Greenpeace fulltime, which was back in 1976/1977.
Have you actually read the reports I linked to earlier in this thread?
Tambourine world calamities never bring much happiness when Mother Nature makes her power known. Yes the mini ice ages in Europe did bring calamities and epidemics that you did mention. I’m also no science denier as someone did claim in a different post here. Anyway concerning the ozone depletion and the so called effects apon the environment. Well let’s look at some of the facts concerning this and what I was taught about the ozone depletion in Antarctica when at school. This is what we were generally taught to believe that man made CFC makes its way up into the stratosphere which is some 30km up. Apon reaching there the ultra violet radiation breaks up CFC molecules that than release chlorine which in turn becomes a monster eater of the ozone Layer. That is how it’s generally explained. But much was also left out as I discovered later in life . And that being that there is around 300 million tons of chlorine taken just from the sea alone evaporated from our oceans every year and much of that makes its way into the stratosphere via cyclones, hurricanes, tornadoes or bad storms. You also have volcanic activities. You have 11-36 million tons of chlorine entering the atmosphere from passively degassing volcanos alone. Not to mention the more fully active ones. You have Mt Erebus in the Antartica region that has been active for the past 100 yrs. In 1983 it ejected 370,000 tons of chlorine into the atmosphere just on its own for that year and maybe that does also have a part to play with the increased activity or decreased activity of how that affects the Antartica ozone rate and region. So Tambourine the point I’m trying to make is that when you compare let’s say around 1:1 million tons of CFC admissions entering into the atmosphere for one year of that era. Than it becomes a mere drop in the ocean when compared to the hundreds of millions of naturally produced chlorine that was already present long before CFC products was ever created. if the affects are as claimed life would have ceased to exist apon this planet for humans thousands of years ago especially with those percentage ratios don’t you think. That is of course if chlorine is the actual cause. The evidence seem to say otherwise because we are still here. That’s why I don’t believe CFC’s had anything to do with the matter. Only that it cost us all much in environmental taxes and legislation against perfectly safe products. .
Oh a carton, my apologies. Must have misunderstood you. I’ll blame the whisky lol. Yeah Cartons usually cost around 2 -3 hundred easily. And that’s the “pre mades” as I like to call them. With the “Rollies” as they’re known, you’d have to buy the papers and filters on top of that. Saw many a customer budget out their supplies for that.
Random does all that revenue really go to just hospitals it certainly doesn’t. I think our outlook towards smokers is very different I don’t treat smokers as 2nd class citizens they have a guest area if they do choose to enjoy the smoke. Maybe you can begin a moral crusade apon alcohol as well or maybe fast food. It’s really not my right for me to do so simply because those are things they legally enjoy and it still doesn’t give me the right to rob people blind. But your ok with that because it’s not coming out of your pocket. So just screw them as much as you like. My God how brain washed and self centred you have become. It’s no wonder the world is becoming a more and more tragic and dived place. Divide and conquer does come to mind.Oh a carton, my apologies. Must have misunderstood you. I’ll blame the whisky lol.

And that was ten years ago, it’s probably more now because the price keeps slowly creeping upwards. The amount of people who would literally return food just to buy a pack, never mind a carton though. Sheesh. And I’m talking essentials, not frivolous chocolates or something. Like bread and milk and stuff. My god!
And tobacco sales are a lot more strict than groceries, so I couldn’t even pretend to lose a gold coin here and there like on a normal register.
But like I said, they’re cancer sticks. So I mean they have none of my sympathies. People want to kill themselves that’s their business. But since second hand smoke can affect other people and not just said smoker, they can foot the bill, so to speak.
Gotta find money for our hospitals somewhere, eh?
Greener energy has been a reality for decades though? And it’s only growing. Putting trust in a reality on its way out doesn’t seem particularly wise to me.
Apple sauce on pork is fine, but plum sauce is better
Whoa, where’d you get any of that from my post?
Random I do understand you some better now. And maybe I did misunderstand some of what you wrote also I do agree the discussion has become some off topic So yes best we allow the original post discussion to flow. Hope you continue to enjoy your plum sauce .
No worries, mate. I probably should have indicated more clearly that I was being facetious. My sense of humour is rather dark and often based on insults, so I sometimes come across more crass than intended.
Why? Greta Thunberg says she does not think we have reached it. So it's a red herring.
Notanunmber quite a brave young lady seems all she is doing is expressing her right to disagree. It’s nice to know that we still have such No Nonsense videos around so we can evaluate for ourselves.
I assume this is your way of saying this topic is now exhausted.
