| "Believe me, Climate Catastrophe is REAL" - "here's a LIE to prove it" - "NW Passage is clear for the first time", "The little green frog is extinct etc."
| - Carbon trading, buying more green stuff "Green car". They don't get it that to save energy you have to reduce consumption & get China do the same.
| Still flying around in their corporate jets, their 2 houses, 6 kids - Don't shout at the the rest of us until you have really downsized yourself !
| No, nothing - It's easy to say, but most stories turn out to be false, the rest can be explained by natural variances in weather.
| maybe, maybe Not - you have have keep perspective, when you don't know something you can't just assume the worst. There is a huge difference between certain, probable and possible.
| you're wasting your time it's a distraction. Go & do something else
If top climate scientists give up cars, having kids and disconnect from the power grid then you can take it seriously but CONSUME LESS anyway as everytime you buy something nature is harmed (a tree is cut, earth dug etc) THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE NOT THINGS Skeptic - No, not faster than ever - 1690-1730 the UK average changed by 3C Believer - that’s a mistake it never happened ! cos Gore says so - actually The IPCC has reinstated the Medieval Warm Period
Don't worry about GW. Has there ever been anything so Alice in Wonderland as The Global Warming Debate : Summary of IPCC report : CO2 levels, are really high, don't know why ? climate's not changed. Can't rule out a future catastrophic effect. Can't say "We don't know" so here's 2000 pages of gibberish... oh & here's a couple of scare stories so that the public will be prepared to change quickly if we need to. UK GOV policy : "Of course if we don't lie no-one will believe us"
| - In Science it's OK to say "I don't know", "I'm not sure", I don't have enough data". But we can comment when we see
Call me when IPCC scientists have a smaller footprint than me !
| But real damage is being done at a local level- as forests are cut and landslides occur etc. When you buy stuff trees are cut, materials mined, the energy is used. So simplify and you'll reduce your ecological impact. If you are good to the ecology then this helps CO2 whether catastrophe theory is true or not.
They should THINK SIMPLE, buy less (most energy you consume is in the manufacturing & transport of the products), go to bed when it's dark, walk, don't have children and Live in a room in a city not 2 houses.
So much Hot Air | actually it's only politics & fashion. CO2 consumption of believers and unbelievers are the same and the actual actions of the worlds Believer Politicians and Non-believing are hardly any different. But it's cool and otherwise your parties votes go to the Green Party Will Smoker's give up anything for Climate Change ? 12/11/07
| They don't make sacrifices to save their own lives then how can you expect them to sacrifice much to save the possibility of future catastrophe ? 1/4 of adults smoke it harms all, kills 30% early i.e. 5-10million/year is implicated in deaths of another 30% UN figs

IPCC Apologies for the 9 year Interruption The reporting of Global Warming is so Alice in Wonderland Nuts. This blog started as a place to put my notes after analysing stories in the media.
| Every Scare Story turns out to have a little truth but to have grown huge legs London 2007 - "How can you say their is no Climate Crisis ?" Soviet Russia 1967 - "How can you say that our beloved communism is not superior to capitalism in every way ?"
