Climate Change & Global Warming

Seeds after all, litterly grow on trees

 

 

If only we had the trees, but then, there's the rub!

[Styles]

I think its all mortifing lies just to help the government bleed us dry.

How big do trees need to be to plant before sheep and rabbits aren't an issue ?

 

Sheep can destroy fully grown trees. It's a case of fencing the trees off from the sheep.

 

Shetland used to be a natural woodland many moons ago, but man's intervention alongside the introduction of sheep put paid to that.

Is there local stone suitable for drystone walling ?

 

(Incidently, whats the usual cost per yard/metre for your average drystone wall?)

 

Can you keep sheep out with ditches/ramparts ?

 

 

Could always get someone to pick up some seeds the next time they are on the mainland

[sheepshagger]

^no all the dry stone walls in Shetland were built with stone imported from Quaries in Ireland and Wales, today Scotland provides stone from quarries in the Aberdeenshire area but this tends to be overpriced and not all that suitable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ask a stupid question what do you expect.

[Skunnered]

The best way to keep sheep out is to threaten them with a freezer

And for balance, the first rebutal page I found.

http://chriscolose.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/easterbrook-and-the-coming-global-cooling/?referer=sphere_related_content/

 

There are important factors raised by Easterbrook though - the long term climate cycles keep on going, and get overlaid by any other changes, man-made or not, and it has only recently been recognised that medium term cycles, particularly in deep ocean currents, are another layer that increases or reduces the other effects.

 

The last piece I read from the pro ACC side on including the ocean current cycles predicted not much temperature change in the 2000-2015 area, and then a temperature rise again.

As Easterbrook also predicts in his paper, but happening 20 years sooner than his 2035 date.

doo says we can sit an argue da toss,minds me o the judean peoples front,or wis dat the peoples front of judea?

onyway i doot we need far mare comitee meetings.

joost oot o interest can ony o you dit's clever wi dis electrickery shananigans do a map?

i tink it wid be interesting tae see a map o shetland wi da sea level aboot 20-25 feet higher dan it is noo.

i'd imaging most folk widna realise whit bits o shetland might git cut aff,

twartree examples spring tae mind,obviously is mavis grind,mavis'll no grin muckle langer me tinks,ider examples might be,da inner end o bixter voe joining up tae da vadles,parts o nesting being cut aff when da sea runs trow benston,laxfirth might join up wi da eastvoe at scalloway gean by da east side o da tingwall kirk,even lerick might git cut aff when da sea fills in by dat loch,i tink quarf might be to high fur dat kinda level tae break trow but nae doot dere's plenty ider places dit da sea'll win trow.

dat way wi'll aa ken whar tae big piers tae shelter wir archs an animals.

ta.

wi da way dis weather's been dis last twartree days you better hurry afore we aa droond.

cant vouch for how accurate this is.

[brunalf]

good wan twerto,yun's kinda whit i had in mind,as doo says not sure about the accuracy o their levels though.

according tae wir ald map da highest bit dit da sea wid hae tae git owir in da tingwall valley's joost tae da east side o da manse,and dat's joost owir 22 feet abun sea level.

i doot sumwhar atween yun map and wir ald een's close,aboot 30 feet.but a lot o folk'll be in big trouble afore dat,me tinks.

go and look at lerick on yun link o twertos and put da sea level tae 13 meters,unlucky.

[ArabiaTerra]

That's an interesting site, Twerto. Though I suspect it's underestimating the effects, but maybe not, I'll have to dig out my OS maps and have a look.

 

Meanwhile, some worrying news from Antarctica:
