There is a strong theory that temperatures on earth are directly

Why do you believe this, when it isn't true? There has been no change in any
of the solar indices (apart from the usual 11-year periodicity) since at
least 1980, and no change in cosmic ray flux since at least 1950. And
spurious correlations can be found wherever you look for them:

Unlike human Co2 production, sunspot activity does map
against not only decadal temperature rises and falls but also the
weather we experience.

And that is ******** too. Where do you pick up this nonsense?

The science underpinning global warming has nothing to do with the

to human activities

most likely caused by the Continental types who drink fizzy water

It's all you young uns drinking fizzy lager when you should be
supping real ale.

They should indeed. I try my best to convert them, but it's a losing battle,
I fear. Now we have cider again, only with ice in it. It's a revolutionary
new drink, apparently.

I actually did once look into fizzy drink CO2 as a contributor to global
warming. I concluded that the CO2 used was mostly a by-product of ammonia
production, so it would be released into the atmosphere anyway...

I forgot to add that the CO2 in beer and lager is carbon neutral when it is
brewed anyway, so the above only applies to unnaturally carbonated drinks...

For gooodness' sake! Look at the graph of global temperatures going
back to prehistoric times (do you really need me to find a link to
such a graph?). Note its cyclical nature. Then note how the present
changes fit pretty well into the cyclical pattern.

Yes, I really do need you to provide me with a link to such a graph. Such an
astonishing paleoclimatic reconstruction would be glorious to behold, I am
sure.

Posted to this thread. Prepare to behold the glory! (I'm surprised
that someone with your passion for the subject has not heard of the
ice core data anaysis).

Er, where is it then? And yes, I am familiar with ice core data analysis.

so during the normal production of ammonia they just vent-off the CO2? seems
like they may want to change that habit. Perhaps we could use CO2 as a
plasma source for wide screen TV's?

Not sure what it has to do with LCD/Plasma/CRT wide screen televisions...
but here you go:

I plead guilty. However I beg the court for mercy as I live in Germany and
ale isn't a local tradition.

Oh well you have access to PROPER lager then.

Most of tthe CO2 comes from the oceans they as a ginormus CO2 sponge.
However as it gets hotter that cannot absorb as much CO2 why CO2 always
rises as the Earth warms. It's a symptom not a cause.

While this is nothing whatsoever to do with widescreen (of course,
that is just your hobby-horse), it is rather surprising that LCD and
plasma screen TV sets *do* use more power than the equivalent CRT.

I couldn't find the specifications of many, but looking on the Philips
website, they have the full spec including power consumption of all
their TVs.

And the CRT 32PW9570/05 uses 109W in normal usage, while the same
sized LCD 32PF9641D/10 uses 128W (it does use less in standby).

The LCD will have a larger screen size, of course...

Any chance of you actually *reading* what you respond to?

I was talking about the *same* size screen.

As I said in the post.
