OT - Kyoto Protocols dead

Russia just announced it will go along with the U.S. and
decline to ratify the Kyoto accords. This effectively
puts an end to that nonsense. It's a blessing in disguise
since 12 of the 14 nations that did sign on have failed
by wide margins to meet the agreed upon emission
standards.

Good riddance, I say. It was stupid to begin with and
very ill conceived. Global warming, if it exists at all,
has never been proven to be due to release of carbon
dioxide by industrial nations any more than by bovine
methane farts.

I say a little global warming is a good thing because
it will result in more reliable and stronger winds for
us sailors.

Global warming, IF it's because of human industry is killing Coral and other
sea life.
The Earth will not absorb unlimited punishment without punishing us in return.

As far as I know, the Ice Time was the longest steady weather period.

I wonder what we are heading at politics or wether problems...

How does warming kill off coral, or any other sea life?

Well said. Most global warming theorist just seem intent on taking money
off everybody else. Never did like penguins anyway, smelly birds.

Famous Coral Reefs Damaged Due To Global Warming Will Take A Century To
Recover, Says New Research

As world leaders continue to debate climate change, new research has revealed
reefs damaged as a result of global warming in one of the world's most
exclusive diving areas will take at least a century to recover.

Huge swathes of the coral at Rangiroa in French Polynesia died during three
months of exceptionally warm weather in 1998, when sea temperatures soared to
an average of 32 degrees centigrade for the first time.

Research by Newcastle University's Department of Marine Sciences has shown
damage to the 800-year old coral reefs was catastrophic, and that it would take
more than 100 years to return to its former glory.

Dr Peter Mumby, Royal Society Research Fellow at the University said: "Usually
when sea temperatures rise, the coral usually withers slightly but is able to
recover.

"But in 1998 global warming caused the sea temperatures to soar to incredibly
high levels and in some areas of the ocean there were sustained temperatures of
33-34 degrees centigrade - in previous years temperatures averaged at 28
degrees.

"This caused the corals to die, and damage like this can only be rectified over
the long term - we think about 100 years."

Divers from all over the world enjoy the spectacular natural environment at
Rangiroa. As well as the coral reefs, it has one of the most wide ranging
selection of wildlife in the world - whales, dolphins, turtles and manta rays.
The lagoon is also a pearl farming area and a mecca for hundreds of wealthy
tourists each year.
