who is a science bod.
We didn't cause the mini Ice Age in the middle ages and that was way more dramatic that this shit. The Thames froze solid every winter for decades.

having said that, my Dad's a fairly epically respected organic chemist and he doesn't believe in it either. The fucker. And he keeps making me buy him climate change denying books for presents. Bet that looks good on Government watch lists.

I'll retract overwelmingly, but will was the majority of evidence points that way. My basic view is that reducing the shit we put into the atmosphere is good regardless.

Also, "don't shit where you eat" seems to me quite enough reason not to but stuff into the air that we breath and the water we drink. It all seems pragmatic rather than idealistic to me and I'm not sure why ther would be such resistance.

...that a large part of the issue is our dependence on oil, which is running out faster than we realise. If a politician admits "we're running out of oil" then the market goes crazy, idiots panic buy and traders make a fortune. The oil industry has a significant lobby clout too.

I'm not 100% convinced its man made after reading that Michael chriton book... That the environentalists lobbyers are paid millions as well as the oil ones so they have just as much to personally gain.
But put it that we shouldn't be so wastefull and you're spot on, everyone agrees
