I have an opinion on global warming!
But since that subject (and my opinion on it) has nothing to do with
piloting I'm not going to share it. I hope by making this posting that I can hint to others that they direct their opinions on that subject to more appropriate forums. Jim "naive and hopeless optimist" Logajan |

Jim "naive and hopeless optimist" Logajan I only wish that were true. We are not far off from having GA regulated in the name of global warming. Limiting flight hours, days flown, etc is a very, very likely scenario. Almost any freedom can be taken away if you put a "Global Warming" tag on it. -Robert |

Jim "naive and hopeless optimist" Logajan Jim, if you think that the 'religion' of global warming does not or will not affect your flying, or th your freedom to fly you are naive. |

Had a great flight home from Birmingham yesterday; 25 kt tailwind! This is a thread about not posting in another thread about AlGore and global warming. Your piloting reference was clearly off topic here - but no OT in your subject line. Hmm? Montblack :-) |

As we sit here, shivering in record cold temperatures (wind chills near zero tonight), the thought that global warming might be a complete crock of sh*t never once entered my mind -- nor would I *ever* consider sharing any such silly thoughts with any of you. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

The globe must be warming faster than they say. Your statement and mine equally meaningless and narrow. |

Thing is, the proposal is that the average temperature is increasing. One effect of that is expected to be increases in the energy of weather systems. No one is suggesting that it is going to be hotter everywhere all of the time. One outcome (and this is a big stretch I think) is that the Gulf Stream could switch off in which case the weather in the UK could become similar to the present weather in Labrador. If that turns out to be correct then global warming will have caused a reduction in the winter temperature in North Western Europe. These predictions are coming from the application of the same tools and techniques that have made reliable weather forecasts an everyday proposition. Ignoring the atmospheric changes that the burning of fossil fuels has caused (and this appears to me to be indisputable - carbon was in ground, is now in atmosphere) and assuming that it will not adversely affect the climate is only an option for those that have no interest in the continuation of the human civilisation. If I was an active private (or other) pilot I would be concerned that my costs were going to rise due to legislative and market changes triggered by concern about global warming and of course any 'leisure' activity involving the use of fossil fuels is likely to be the subject of unwelcome attention. However, there is a LONG way to go in the improvement of the performance of gerneral aviation engines and this is likely to keep the baying mob happy for some time. Clearly there are capital cost implications for this. Wishing you all well and happy flying. |
