According to the radio tonight global warming might reduce the thickness of the ice at the South Pole thus making it easier to extract fossil fuels from the region.

It is rare for a scientist to search for the pure truth of a matter - by the very nature of their research they are seeking to prove (or disprove) something they believe. It breeds narrow mindedness and a blinkered vision. Combine passion with belief, regardless of level of intelligence, and you do not get truth; you get a strong desire to find proof for what they believe to be true. I'm not saying they are either right or wrong, just advocating an open mind I guess. ![]() |

I think suggested increased taxation of non green transport, energy use etc is unfair on those who cannot afford to replace existing vehicles heating systems etc. Road pricing is un fair on those of us who do not have access to usable public transport. Why unfairly penalise the population of the uk and force us to be further uneconomic against the far east and US

If their attitude was 100% environmental then perhaps they would view these new taxes as a potential to provide grants to convert old inefficient systems with more modern efficient technologies, and not another income for the government. In a few years I'm looking at doing a barn conversion on my brothers farm and installing geo-thermic heating but the grants available are pathetic covering about 5% of the cost. Hardly worth bothering

He does say that "Climate change is a reality, and science confirms that human activities are heavily implicated in this change." He doesnt like the use of words like catastrophic, chaos to describe the climate. because, "scenarios of climate change are significant enough without invoking catastrophe and chaos". So he is saying that humans changed the climate, and that the results of this change are probably going to be serious. He is saying that Humans must do something to try to deal with these very real issues. And that d!ckhead journos should shut up, and report the facts. He is not saying that everything is going to work out, or be ok. Nor does he say that the outcomes of the change are not going to be catastrophic for some people. You have to be careful to not confuse his calm tone with the seriousness of what he is actually saying. |
