    I notice you said engineering background rather than engineering degree

    Because you have driven over plenty of bridges built by people that didnt have an engineering degree

    Built yes not designed. I guess I did not use the right wording. People like me plan for months or years others are the ones who follow my plans and work long hours.

    I don't really do structural design on that level. I prefer machines but we are all under the umbrella of "engineer" so I like to stand up for the work we all do.

    I actually have a degree though, you've only taken a few classes like you said. That doesnt make you an expert in anything it just means you've taken a few classes lol. You show your certificate and phd might take it a bit more seriously but you're trying to win an argument forged on the fact you went to a few science classes and you know other people who also did too? BAHAHHAHAHA that's pathetic.

    You show us your cert IV in structural engineering and metal fabrication, not that it means anything in terms of this thread, but I'm curious anyway, cause I know it ain't happening, cause I know yer full of it. Haha.

    Edit: Nope. Didn't think so.

    What malarkey. The basic science of climate change is covered in the beginning chemistry and physics classes.... and the ability to follow the specific science presented by the thousands of reputable specialists in the climatology field. Deniers suffer from atrophy of the mind induced by cheap ignorant politicians.

    All the politician has to do is say there will be a tax. For these voters that means the economy will collapse. Add in the religious hubris of saying God made the planet for you so you don't think you can destroy it. You are Religious, think it's a tax conspiracy, or you are stupid any one or all are what ignorant Americans think on global warming.

    Lol yeah but that always happens. You can preach one thing and sure as shit in a way you don't even subconsciously realise it, you're contributing against it in other ways.

    Well I never said it rules I'm just saying I don't believe you when you try and tell me that your "higher principals" are 100% as honest as you think.

    Well I don't possess a 'private jet' or indeed any other vehicle, so my carbon foot print is as near zero as its possible to be.

    You know what I was thinking the other day?

    If we've cut down like 50% of the trees on earth, and there's more humans and stuff on earth now and livestock indefinitely for food that breathe oxygen, why haven't we felt that yet?

    Surely if the 50% or more of the forests have been cut down, then there's 50% less oxygen in the air right? And now 4 billion+ humans more, and who knows how many more animals must cut that oxygen down by a good percentage too.

    Is oxygen the biggest load of bull we've been taught yet? :p

    Exactly! If it don't grow on trees it's polluting something to make.

    Some of us already do - have lung damage arising from an industrial accident many, many, years ago which causes acute shortage of breath on exertion or indeed in high humidity (like now !!!)

    Go into a pressure chamber and tell the staff to remove the oxygen, then when you begin to turn blue, you can come out and tell me.

    Yeah but that's completely forced and unrealistic situation as to what would happen in real life. So I'm ignoring that thesis. (@guerillabedlam hot, right? Thesis.. ;) /)
