The Thames is recorded as freezing for 3 months of the year in Anglo Saxon times in the 9th century during the "medieval warm", the same period of freeze as in the "Little ice age". Mann is right about that one, these two periods are largely the product of historical fantasy. The main reason the Thames stopped freezing for that length of time was the removal of obstructions during the industrial age that speeded the water flow. It was recorded as regularly freezing even during Roman times.
What about Al Gores waterfront mansion?? Global warm that with your greenhouse gasses. Peter Scam alert

How is a mansion that is 3 km away from the ocean 'waterfront'?
And, the average elevation for Montecito is 55m, looking at his property in google maps, it is much closer to the hills, so it likely would be much higher than the average.
Seriously, you can't even see the other giant mansion (literally across the street) in between his pool and the rest of Montecito (nor can you see the rest of Montecito for that matter)...

Is it still a waterfront mansion though?

But you man-made alarmists here all say Antarctica will melt and raise sea-levels by at least 70m. So he's still stuffed according to you alarmists.
Al Gore also has properties in other parts of America, including a condo in Bay Area, San Francisco. Andarea which he claims in Inconvenient Truth would be under 20feet of ocean soon.
Anyway, good on Al Gore. Fooled the masses, and went from $2m, to $250m in 7yrs. The GreenLeft must be feelingconflicted. On the one hand, Al Gore is their man-made global warming cult leader. On the other, he's now a very rich top 1%er, which they hate with passion.

Clearly you can't read. I'm not an alarmist.
Lumping everyone who disagrees with you into the same basket may help you come to terms with your beliefs, but not with your case.

Kulganis seems to have been silenced in the other post in light of his utterly absurd claim that journalists are used to review scientific papers for spelling and grammar mistakes. However, in this thread he is still going strong. That's because you've given him the ammunition he so desperately needs. As I warned, the skeptics job is not to assert anything. So, no assertions on what type of house Al Gore lives in, or asserting what the Thames was doing hundreds of years ago. This simply allows them to put the burden of proof on to your back. And while you're hauling proof around, they get a breather from their duty to provide incontrovertible proof that humans are causing catastrophic climate change.
News just in: global warming increases promiscuity.
APF is living proof that you can be 100% correct but still lose the argument by a wide margin.
As a rule I try to stay out of climate threads and anything that has an element of racism. I've stayed the course in the past and it did me no good at all. You cannot educate anyone whose preferred state is ignorance, and stupidity is their right after all. The use of our intelligence is not compulsory behaviour, otherwise at least half of our world class entertainers would be wrapping big Macs right now.
Peter,
I often, but not always, agree with your posts on the property threads, you're one of the saner people on here. Thanks for the advice. I do get a bit frustrated with the climate change deniers and feel the compunction to challenge their idiocy. I think your approach is the best one, you cannot educate them so why bother. They just don't want to know. I wish I'd seen this post a few days ago.
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
