According to the doom mongers it's too late anyway. So we all might as well enjoy ourselves and burn carbon.
On the other hand has anyone else noticed lately a spate of newpaper articles and TV programmes more or less on the same theme as the article on the Independant's website. Basically on the theme that it may already 'be too late' , 'We have to do something now' etc etc. To me that sounds like a concerted campaign of press briefing by somebody or other with an agenda.
Many years ago just when this scare campaign was starting I stopped believing that the current warming is caused to any large degree by us humans. That in my opinion is arrogance of the worst kind. Far too many people seem to believe that we puny humans control the weather. I would have thought the recent Tsunami would have put paid to that sort of arrogance.
Yes we are in a warm phase. That's self evident. But we are nowhere near the warm phase that saw Vikings settle in Greenland 10,000 years ago or as someone pointed out it's still not warm enough to grow grapes in Scotland just like they did in the middle ages.
The whole global warming issue is riddled with inconsistencies and half truths, muddied with emotion and speculation. It's almost like a religion. If you question the so called facts, you are treated like as if you are committing blasphemy.
Sure reducing pollution is a good thing but the hysteria being whipped up is crazy.
Frankly those of you who stil believe in man made global warming have to ask yourselves. How do you really know? You really have to question everything you are told. A lot of people simply don't and will believe any old crap they're fed dressed up as science.
I believe there will be a backlash against this global warming theory relatively soon and our descendants will laugh at our fears the way we laugh at our ancestors fears.
Meanwhile enjoy this warm period because it won't last and in a few years time it will get colder again. Guess who'll take the credit for that?
