Conspiracy Theories - The new Utterly Ridiculous Thread or is it?

[speleomike]

Hi all

The problem isn't the element carbon, it's the gases such as carbon dioxide and methane which are "green house gases". Methane is even 30 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas then carbon dioxide. They absorb strongly in the infra-red and so trap heat very effectively. Have a look at the graph here.
Down To Earth Climate Change - Resources and Carbon Dioxide and Evidence & Facts on Climate Change

Now on the graph in the first link, ignore the absolute scale. Think of it as just relative changes and consider that sudden recent rise. Now if you saw that graph as a temperature rise of your tires on your TPMS I think you would be concerned :-)

As a general rule for conspiracy theorists, I would suggest considering Hanlon's Razor, one version of which is that "incompetence is much more likely than conspiracy".

I like that! Hadn't heard of Hanlon's Razor.

I know of Occam's razor of course - a razor owned by a bloke named Occam. That's the simplest explanation!

See the discussion of Hanlon's Razor on Wikipedia. Actually, if you think about it, Occam's razor usually will cut off most conspiracy theories. They usually imply levels of expertise and security that are simply not encountered in the real world. There are always leaks and errors that lift the lid whenever more than half a dozen are involved, especially if we are talking about more than a few days in time.

'Climate Change' is being foisted upon the world by the UN (again...) and I strongly suspect there's a political / financial basis for it, probably 'wealth re-distribution'

this sounds like a conspiracy theory.......

Adolf Hitler is alive and living on an isolated farm in Argentina.

Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike.

Black-coloured helicopters are part of a UN conspiracy to rule the world.

I particularly like this one:

Denver airport stands above an underground city which is the headquarters of the New World Order or Illuminati, which is why the US$1 note has the Eye of Providence or all-seeing eye of god, in the corner.

Adolf Hitler is alive and living on an isolated farm in Argentina.

At 130 years old, he’s doing quite well for himself then.

Thanks Mitch.

The original myth was based on using 1.5 MW turbines 20+ years ago and the origins of it are well documented online.

The new ones at Ararat are 3.2 MW and the output is already available to see online. I'll post the link up when I get a chance in the next couple of days.

AFAIK this farm was built with private money and needed no subsidies to be a viable concern.

I'm interested in all options for power generation, from brown mud to anything.

cheers, DL

Its not my conspiracy myth, but I suppose he must have an oxygen machine.
