Human activity is responsible for the unprecendentedly high levels of CO2 Not proven to be "unprecendentedly high levels" OK - only unprecedently high compared to the last 700,000 years. The antarctic ice cores are pretty conclusive. 2. The high CO2 levels are largely responsible for global warming If that's the case why doesn't Kyoto address *all* sources of CO2. You mean China and India? Politics. But more likely the additional 100 ppm is human production. So what. Thinly disguised leftists screaming for state control of the means of production is not a meaningful basis for environmental policy I've found this is a common response from Americans: If you haven't got facts to back you up, just accuse the other of point of view of being driven by leftism, communism, fascism or whatever. |

Apparently there are an average of 33 tornados per year in the UK and taking into account land area the UK has the highest number of reported tornados per square kilometer of any country in the world.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, I don't think they have much power when they form at British latitudes. Enough, say, to take the roof off a domestic garage, and it wouldn't do you much good if it dropped the roof on top of you. Going back on topic, it's recorded that a tornado took the roof off Gunnersbury station on 8 December 1954 - though the record is presumably wrong (it must have been some other variety of storm) as tornados are a Summer phenomenon).

Well, personally I once met a guy in a pub who claimed the Holocaust never happened. And published opinion in the Daily Mail blames asylum seekers for all our ills. Seriously, you ought to go and read up on this stuff before you shoot your mouth off again. It is a serious topic. John |

I have answered every question correctly, and received a string of snide remarks from someone who is obviously afraid to reveal himself. Anyone with experience of the subject would have been able to do far better. -- Terry Harper, Web Co-ordinator, The Omnibus Society 75th Anniversary 2004, see http://www.omnibussoc.org/75th.htm E-mail: URL: http://www.terry.harper.btinternet.co.uk/ |
