ok, that was a pretty weak point
I'll grant you that. I'm still not convinced either way. Not that that matters a damn, but a lot of people seem to be awfully serious about stuff on the basis of what, on the face of it at least, seems to be some shaky science.

If I didn't know better I'd say this was a deliberate attempt to rile me.
I'll simply say that the most aggressivly anti-climate change goverment in the world set up a task force of the world's top scientists, experts and academics to prove that climate change was not due to carbon emissions.

Even then, specifically created to debunk this 'shaky-science' their findings were... well I'll leave the rest to you.

got a reference for me?
serious question, and it wasn't an attempt to rile you.

I freely admit I don't know anywhere near enough about it.

that is abundantly clear
do you have any kind of reference to this task force report that he was on about? I'd actually like to read about it.

I said I wasn't convinced either way and that on the face of it the science seems shaky.

oh crap
we've had enough publicity recently.

and he hasn't answered my question. I can find plenty of reference to people suggesting what to me sound like very reasonable reasons why we aren't affecting the climate, and not a great deal that is persuasive otherwise.

do you think that in saying that I am making things worse?
