The very latest predictions paint a challenging future for us and our hobby. Some would suggest grim even whilst others suggest that with intervention and a change to our habits all is not lost. What changes to our leisure pursuits and lives do folk think will make that difference for our future generations?

Posted on 11/10/2018 18:57 by cyberyachtI received an Email from P&O touting their cruises. It contained the usual photogenic couple with the Briksdal Glacier as a backdrop. I was there nine years ago and I can't believe how much it has receded in that time. Very scary.

Since Victorian times, we’ve been trying to make a North West passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. A North East passage was unthinkable. Now the Russians are operating cruises between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, around Siberia. How? Because global warming has melted enough ice.

It wasn’t that long ago that the darling of the climatistas was ‘global cooling’ it was vaunted that the Thames would host ‘frost fairs’ & the sea would partially freeze over. That was soon dropped for the catchier title of-‘global warming’, frost fairs eh?, now where have I heard that before🤔🙄🙄

I’m sure Human action was to blame back in 1683🙄🙄
The Frost Fair in 1683 / 84
During the Great Winter of 1683 / 84, where even the seas of southern Britain were frozen solid for up to two miles from shore, the most famous frost fair was held: The Blanket Fair.

A review of this brief period in history reveals far fewer supporters than we have for global warming theory today, a shortage of accurate data and a science in its infancy. Not so much a ‘darling’, more a possibility, subsequently dismissed.

Posted on 11/10/2018 22:37 by Cornersteadyindeed, if the melting ice in places is reavealing more fossils then at one time they had to be no ice there? ? Also there were times when there was little or no ice at the poles.
Posted on 11/10/2018 22:52 by brueI think you'll find that the magnetic poles have shifted over time but the reasoning behind the warnings of global warming isn't to do with natural changes but man made ones.
