Global warming my arse

dicki global warming is a tax raising agenda by current governments climatic records go back 300 years if that and the earth has been going for billions of years we had ice a mile thick over much of england in the " recent past " a degree here a degree there it's happened before and will happen again we are insignificant and compared to earths co2 output pale into sinsinificance
tax tax tax

Yeah, absolutely. It's a conspiracy between governments to raise taxes. After all, wasn't the IPCC set up by and paid for the by the World Government (aka the United Nations). And we all know that the appearance of the World Government was foretold in the Apocrypha, and that therefore the appearance of the anti-christ is due.

Climatic records do NOT go back 300 years. Ice cores (which are one, only one of many, of the means used to determine global mean temps in the past) go back millenia.

I haven't seen 'Inconvenient Truth' so I can't really comment on how much of it is bull-shit. Climate science and modelling of global climate is immensely complicated. So it follows that there are bound to be inaccuracies and over-simplifications in a short film.

But the overwhelming majority of climate scientist and others, as represented in the peer-reviewed documents produced by the IPCC, agree that there is unprecedented (that means it hasn't happened before at this speed) warming taking place, and that the overwhelming likelihood is that it is caused by humanity changing the balance of the CO2 cycle.

We can argue about what is the right thing to do. But climate change, caused by humanity's tipping the balance of CO2, is a scientifically proven fact. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to go and have a very careful look at all the evidence, and I mean all the evidence, not just mickey-mouse docu crap on TV, or dubious pseudo-assertions made on various 'free-thinking' blogs.
