I regard climate change in the same way as religion, we are expected to believe in a God and run our lives by his/her/its rules when there is absolutely no evidence that one exists, and every day that goes by the people who make their living out of religion disregard findings of fossils millions years old and continue to insist that 'their' god (who by the way is bigger than 'your' god ) made the whole world in 6 days a couple of thousand years ago. Religion was designed by men to suppress women - ( if you disagree please explain why every major religion treats women as second class citizens).

Darwin delayed publishing his 'On the Origin of Species' by at least 20 years because he knew of the hate that would come his way from religious community when he trashed their business model, and only published when he did because someone else was going to publish a similar book. Throughout world history religion has been the worlds largest business, that is until global warming / climate change was born and had the possibility to make more money than religion.

I see no similarities between climate change and religion.

You've posted 2 "scientific" newspaper articles which appear to support your viewpoint. That's picking and choosing somewhat isn't it? Ah now I see the religion similarity - believing only what you want to hear.

Let's put it this way - there's an awful lot of data supporting the mainstream theory of climate change. In fact, most of it - that's why it's the mainstream theory. But even if that isn't good enough, atmospheric carbon levels are rising and it's directly attributable to human behaviours, and even if you don't believe the predictions that are made by anyone else, it's still uncharted territory; we don't know exactly what will happen, but it's happening faster than we can possibly adapt to as a species, and that's scary.

Example: The depleted ozone layer was real, still is real, and has been reversed to a certain extent by global governments action.

Drawing parallels with a very emotive subject such as religion isn't really applicable - most scientific research is done in a very dry manner and is very dull work indeed. Governments might well twist it to suit their agenda, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Still I think we'll be very lucky if it's the weather that kills us. Here's another parallel - I see it like fitting iridium spark plugs for a longer life span then riding into a minibus. War, global scale accidents, volcanoes, ice ages or interplanetary impacts will probably polish us off long before our own effect on the climate does - but that's not really an excuse not to plan ahead anyway.

Plenty of money being made of the back of the global warming debate. That doesn't mean the science is wrong though.

here's a tin hat theory for you. weather patterns and cancer rates have steadily increased for the worse as wireless telecommunications have advanced in their usage.

There are loads of stats that show correlation with no causal relationship. There's at least one web page dedicated to the subject. It's a common phenomenon.

Millions of man hours have been spent studying climate change. They don't just make this stuff up.

Don't forget radar, if a microwave oven can heat food then surely radar is heating the atmosphere, they work on same frequency. If you switch off radar all flights would be grounded, a win - win , no microwaves and no carbon from air travel.

According to scientists recent lack of solar activity could soon result in a 'mini ice-age' - I just wish they would make their minds up. NASA says the effect of solar activity on terrestrial (Earths) climate is an ongoing study. Surely it should be obvious that if Suns output drops Earth cools, and if Suns output rises Earth gets Warmer - nothing to do with carbon. Anyway higher CO2 promotes growth of plants and trees = more food, and the plants absorb carbon as they grow.
