Yes, we should all go veggie.

It would help if everyone went vegan but it's not necessary. Just lowering our meat and animal product consumption would be sufficient. It's because of the population. Global population estimates during the 15th century is around 350-400 million people. Now it's 7 billion. A significant larger population means a significant increase in cattle to support the population. In addition to the 200 years of fossil fuel consumption since the industrial revolution, we've had a much bigger impact on global warming in two centuries than the previous 800,000 years.

This graph shows the extent of carbon emissions in the last 200 years (red and blue lines) compared to the emissions of the last 800,000 years (green lines). The global warming from carbon emissions caused by volcanic eruptions throughout history is nothing compared to the emissions caused by humans in modern history.

I said you were a sceptic.

I can only go on what I'm told, photos I'm shown, people I've met, experiences I've had. It's not like I've just invented a point of view, it's come from over a decade of research, interviews and meetings. If I told you everything I'd learned and you said you didn't believe me, I wouldn't care one jot. I'm not out to make people believe it. If I offered you that chance and you said you weren't interested because you thought it was bullshit, then I'd be very disappointed. It doesn't sound like you've read much on any of the topics mentioned, as your opinion is typical of somebody who is afraid of digging deeper.

One of the things with some people and conspiracy theories is that they seem to argue that if you mention it, you buy into it 100% and own it.

Some of the seemingly more ridiculous theories can stop me in my tracks and make me ponder some part of the argument, perhaps looking at how it could fit with a totally unrelated theory.

The consensus among climatologists is that the the ozone layer is being damaged at an alarming rate because of greenhouse gas emissions, which we are responsible for due to our persistent use of fossil fuels. You're right that the climate changes naturally over millennia but the whole point is that it shouldn't be changing this drastically at this moment in time and it's largely due to humans and their consumption of fossil fuels. If the planet continues at this rate without reducing or abandoning completely our use of fossil fuels, low-lying countries like the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark will be under water in 50 years time because of rising sea levels.

Is this what you were taught at uni? Or are you actually an expert, like most people your age?

No, I don't study climatology at uni and nor am I an expert. It's what I learned from climatologists, you know, the actual experts.

I think we can all do our bit. My car has climate control, so I've been whacking it on full to help save the planet. <ok>

All those ups and downs 100's of thousands of years ago, how do they know?

100%. It pisses me off when one is made to feel like a mentalist for saying that aliens exist. The concept that this is the only rock of the multitude that we know about and an incomprehensible amount that we dont that can support life is just plain ridiculous. However, I really dont think that they have visited earth.

I read Chariots of the Gods. He's clearly off his tits.

These 'ere aliens landed in Boothferry Park in the mid to late '90s, became so pissed off they have never been seen again.
