Small amounts of coal near the surface were exploited from around 200BC in China but that is as far back as it goes. A few local surface outcrops in the UK were drift mined from Roman times. Newcastle had industrial scale coal before most places with active mines in the 13th century. Until the late middle ages mostly they used wood, charcoal or animal fats for heat and light. Coal only became really important after the 1615 Royal Proclamation forbidding the use of wood for glass making and so spurring on the industrial revolution. The remaining wood was needed for shipbuilding. Mineral oil was even later before people really used it seriously. First successful oil well dates from 1859 in the USA. Tallow, beeswax, plant oils and whale oil were the preferred materials in antiquity. Regards, Martin Brown Sorry for seemingly telling lies Martin, ah I see your problem it was the fossil fuel reference, I should have said wood, bones and peat etc which when burnt for survival immdeiatly released Co2 and other greenhouse gases. You are a pathological liar and are now making things up to try and justify your original lie. The phrase that constitutes your big *LIE* is conveniently all in capitals at the top for all to see and laugh at. You are a perfect example of why paranoid lying rightards and their pretend fantasy "dittohead science" cannot be trusted. Human control of fire and releasing Co2 was one of it's most significant turning points in survival. Warmth, light, cooked meat, foods and protection from dangerous animals. Which was all based on renewable sources until very recently. Whale numbers are still suffering from their utility as lamp oil and later pet food. Of course the fossil stuff came much later , but never the less that really doesn't change what I said does it. Without the harnessing of fossil fuels most of us e wouldn't be here let alone communicating via Computers which are still powered by fossil fuels the last time I checked It changes what you said by 180 degrees. You are a pathological liar. By the way Martin, liar is a very strong word and a tad uncalled for. Not at all it describes you perfectly. It is clear for all to see. There is no chance at all that humans would have become extinct thousands of years ago without fossil fuels. It was an outright lie. Regards, Martin Brown |

You are also correct that there are far more important things for individuals to worry about than forecasts of the future climate. Many people on this planet wonder where their next glass of clean water is to come from :-( The real problem is that there are now a lot of humans vying for vital resources, it makes perfect sense to invest in new technology despite whether you believe in global warming or not. Will -- Absolutely aggree Will, when you consider that the worlds population was estimated to be in 1000 AD to be around 200 million and now over six billion! It's a testament to the remarkable progress made by capitalist economy whose engine was literally fossil fuel . Add to that the 100 odd % increase in life expectancy then it is truely a remarkable success story. However I totally aggree that it can't go on like this unless some miracoulous leap in science regarding free or cheap inexaustable energy and the feasiblity of colonising our solar system and beyond then some serious problems lay ahead. I think its shown that with a higer stanadrd of living and that doesn't necessarily mean owing more things then the birthrate begins to slow like it has amongst the developed world populations. As you say AGW is not the main issue I reckon the Bjorn Lomberg talks a lot of sense. If AGW was an issue there are far bigger sustainable of course, fish to fry . |

Regards, Martin Brown Martin a lie is when you know you are not telling the truth I happen to believe in what I've said so you could argue I'm wrong , mistaken etc. but please don't use that word liar. Without the industrial revolution which could only happen by the harnessing of fossil fuels then we would live in wretched sad miserable conditions. People like you are not only rude but are totally talking out of their backsides. If you cannot recognise the facts that we live far longer are not riddled with syphilis, gonorrhea, polio (which I had by the way I just missed out on the vaccine) and a whole host of bacterial and viral infections that were stopped in their tracks by the science and industry based of the energy released by fossil fuel then there can be no arguing with such ignorance of the facts. It's you that are the liar as you desperately revise history to suit your own agenda. |

David Christainsen- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I have Crunchy. I said his work was interesting, but no more. It's no more than that, as his work predicts that during periods of low solar output, the sun's magnetic field can't protect us from cosmic rays which may increase cloud cover. Unfortunately current global temperatures simply don't bear out his theory. We've had a very quiet sun for well over 4 years now and though solar cycle 24 has started, sunspot activity is very low. If the sun's output is low, more clouds should have been created, blocking more of the sun's heating and causing cooling, so why has the world experienced such high temperatures over the last 5 years? If Svensmark is correct, why hasn't this extended solar minimum produced the cooling that he predicted? Rising global temperatures, not theories, are the only measure of whether the climate is warming. |

I can never think of that particular chocolate bar without thinking of the advert.............. I note you've had zilch to say about the current state of global temperatures, or Svensmark's work. Not surprising. |
