They reckon 1000's, if not hundred of 1000's years before anything bad will happen. Certainly not in our lifetime. No mate that's definitely not correct, unless your actually talking the point where it could become an extinction scenario. Climate change is already an economic problem but it's one that will get worse in our lifetimes, and have major impacts well before 1000 years. More 1 in 100 year storm events, more droughts, some small, developed islands starting to disappear underwater, limitations to the global food supply etc. It's changing slowly by our standards but very rapidly compared to the historical baseline pre-humans.

Makes me wonder if they've got multiple busses they keep in different cities, or if the bus driver drives out the night before or some shite like that. But clubs flying from the north to London happens all the time - even though it's not really necessary at all. The argument made for it is "it saves time and gives the players more time to rest and prepare" - not sure if I agree with it though because it's ridiculous tbh. Shite like that might be why so many clubs are quick to point out how green and environmentally friendly they are... because in the grand scheme of things, they're not very environmentally friendly. Surely that can't be right, the distance between Manchester airport and Liverpool aiport is 30 miles?

That's what I thought. It would literally be miles quicker to go on a coach when considering checking in times, baggage and actual flight times etc. Its about a 45 minute drive. Sounds bollocks to me.

DeadLinesman Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Not a fucking chance have United flown to Liverpool.

The Artful Dodger Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Is it even possible for a large enough plane to carry all the team/staff to get up and down in any less time than it would be to travel by coach? I'm no expert but surely all the ascending/descending stuff would take far longer than the coach journey, unless they flew at a ridiculously low height?

Like TAD just said, regarding take off speed, landing etc, I’d be gobsmacked. You’d be talking a flight of less than 7 minutes. That’s bonkers.

ScoRoss Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Something that I don't understand, that would also help football become more environmentally friendly at the same time, is that you have to go down to the fifth tier of Scottish football and the sixth tier of English football to actually get some sort of regionalisation. In Scotland, it's even more bizarre because you have part time teams playing midweek matches that can be hundreds of miles to travel to.

No, but I recently lived through a month and a half of stepping outside in the morning not being able to see the mountain I live at the base of because the smoke in the sky was so thick. Seeing burnt to a crisp animals lining the freeway whenever I went more than 20 ks south, having a mate miss out on coming to a cricket match in sydney with us because he was getting evacuated, frightened that both his home and work place were about to be destroyed. 1/3rd of the worlds koala population dead and most of their habitat destroyed and then come here to see. "Yeah nah the effects wont be felt for thousands of years" Genuinely get fucked. I hope you're this ignorant about trucks and busses when it comes to crossing the street next time mate.
Happy Blue Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 The Earth goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling, it has done since the dawn of time, the cause is our star i.e the sun ..nothing us little piss ants do will change that
DeadLinesman Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 And that natural warming and cooling happens over thousands of years, not 50. It must just be a massive coincidence that the rise in temperature coincides with exponential growth of man and heavy industry.......

Answer: it's got a different atmosphere. Q2. What's different about it? It's got much higher concentrations of greenhouse gases, which make its atmosphere thicker so that it functions as a blanket, trapping the heat in Q3. What happens on other planets when you pump fuckloads more of these gases into the atmosphere. The atmosphere gets thicker and traps more heat. Q4. Will we become Venus? No, it doesn't need to get to that point to really fuck shit up Q5. Can we prevent this in a way that isn't economically ruinous? Yes. But the longer we sit around pretending there's no issue the harder that becomes.

Have you been to venus with a thermometer or did you read it on some site? ..also how did any "spacecraft" get through the Van Allen radiation belt when NASA (never a straight answer) accidentally let it slip on an educational video that NOTHING can pass through that radiation and survive? ..which means we have never been to the moon

Devil-Dick Willie Posted February 24, 2020 Posted February 24, 2020 2 minutes ago, Happy Blue said: No, it's more to do with the sun but okay Summary: (a) Earth absorbs most of the sunlight it receives; (b) Earth then emits the absorbed light's energy as infrared light; (c) greenhouse gases absorb a lot of the infrared light before it can leave our atmosphere; (d) being absorbed slows the rate at which energy escapes to space; and (e) the slower passage of energy heats up the atmosphere, water, and ground. By increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, humans are increasing the atmosphere’s absorption of infrared light, thereby warming Earth and disrupting global climate patterns Increasing water vapour leads to warmer temperatures, which causes more water vapour to be absorbed into the air. Warming and water absorption increase in a spiralling cycle It's literally so simple kids understand it. But people refuse to believe because no one wants to make sacrifices.
