One for the 'climate - change' sceptics

dolfin | 12.11.2007 17:25 | Climate Chaos | London

Over these past few months, I have watched in amazement as the sceptics continue to bluster and blarney!



Apologies for the 'cut and paste' job here and now, but I feel that this is well worth the read anyway ................ for those of us who are busy campaigning and networking etc, its nice to get a little help from the 'beeb' now and again.

What are some of the reasons why "climate sceptics" dispute the evidence that human activities such as industrial emissions of greenhouse gases and deforestation are bringing potentially dangerous changes to the Earth's climate?

Millions of indigenous peoples all over the world are deeply concerned at the way things are going environmentally speaking, they are not scientists in any first-world sense, but they know their environment, and they notice stuff happening everywhere which is way under most peoples radar, they notice stuff that we do not, they are worried!

As the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) finalises its landmark report for 2007, we look at 10 of the arguments most often made against the IPCC consensus, and some of the counter-arguments made by scientists who agree with the IPCC.

Facing the harsh reality

13.11.2007 00:09

Regardless of who or what is causing climate change, the sad truth that few have the guts to face (just as few can really accept they are going to die one day), is that the dramatic changes now beginning to be felt all over the planet are unstoppable.

The harsh reality that no one wants to admit in public, is that what ever we do, millions (if not billions), of scandalously impoverished people are going to die, or have their lives ruined because of climate change; millions have already died.

But maybe you prefer the comfort of shallow populism by preaching that we can all be 'saved' if only we stopped 'sinning', paid more spurious airport taxes (Gordon Brown is loving it), and make out direct debits to the Climate Change 'Campaign'. This is pretty much as self deceiving as believing you will go to heaven if you say the right prayers, and give generously to the church collection.

Instead we should be urgently preparing for the inevitable and horrible disasters which will happen, which are happening, regardless of any actions by humanity. If we did prepare, and save what we can, instead of wasting time and money on quack CO2 remedies, perhaps millions of lives could be saved, especially in the poorest parts of the world, but not if you support the Climate Change Campaign lie, which is selling a quack cure that will not work.

Wake up! This BBC stuff is government propaganda supporting spurious air travel taxes for poor people and fraudulent 'carbon trading' schemes ripping off more poor people in Africa.
