Ah! Nelder and McKibben soldiering on into the sunset...
Adornoe, you are so right.
Yes, everybody sane person wants a cleaner environment. No problems with that.
But the concept that a 0.4degC per CENTURY increase in mean global surface temperature ( HadCRUT3 official data, download it and plot it out for yourself) is sufficient justification for pretending that adding CO2 to the atmosphere is any kind of threat to the climate is just plain ludicrous.
The global warming bandwagon is a pseudo-scientific scam promoted by the extreme left, aided and abetted by their willing and often very gullible fellow travellers.
Fortunately governments are beginning to realise this - hence Obama's back-pedalling over his original plans to close down the American economy - and similar political changes occurring in the UK and elsewhere. We will see more of that over the years as the great political ship tacks slowly around and sails off in a more sensible direction.
But, heck, Nelder, why are you still banging on... ? The global warming scare is completely over as far as the general public is concerned. There's zero, zilch interest. So politicians, as always, will find a slow, manipulative, weasel-way out of the embarrassing mess they have largely created for themselves and others.
Meanwhile, Nelder, McKibben and all of that ilk seem determined to soldier on into the sunset...
