Do you believe in global warming?

Over half of the UK does not believe in global warming a recent poll has suggested lately. So what does this mean?  Why are the people of the United Kingdom feeling that global warming isn't real?

Well, I am sitting on the fence at the moment, and truly analysis all the data that we can see from both camps.  Lately a thing called 'climategate' made me think even more what is going on.  I was ready to except that 'global warming' or its new religious name 'climate change' was man made, and we as people should do something about it.  Until a bunch of hacked emails from a climologist well known in his field gets found out for manipulating the data, to prove his theory.

So it begs the question, who else is doing this?  Who else is making man-made results of climate change and who else is playing us?

I watch the news, and for a whole week ITV went to Mount Everest, and showed a glacier that was melting... the trouble is, they tend to melt this time of year down there, as its just coming out of there summer, with average temperature of about 0'c.  So what are ITV doing?  Why are they pulling the wool over peoples eyes? They did the same with obese children, a band wagon of news with one liners scrolling on the bottom of the screen with 'factoiods' of information.  But when you peel away at these little facts they all come to one source.  Same with climate change information.  Government lead science programs.

Do you believe in global warming?

The disaster that happened in the north of England, in a town called Cockermouth.  Was a sad and terrifying disaster.  I had once witnessed a very similar disaster in my home town in west Wales in the 80s, but even then experts and government lead once back then said that it was a one in hundred year event.  It happens we have cycles in our weather that people cant explain.

So global warming, is another cycle in our weather that we can't explain.  Facts are this, sea temperatures are going down, average temperature has dropped, and glaciers are not melting but getting bigger.  There is a climate change, but not the type of end of world apocalypse that we are all leaded to believe. People rattle on about we need to do something, but it's all a paradox.  If we do something what's to say we don't cause the problems!?

Its like when people go on about nature reserves and how we must look after a certain species of animal.  But the problem is looking after one animal has detrimental effects on the surrounding animals, like reintroducing Beavers to the UK, its actually causing problems and not solving them.  Human interference isn't always a good thing.

So tell me people?  Are you a global warming denier?  What do you feel we should do about it?  We are experiencing a change of climate, but it's nothing to do with temperature, its all to do with money in my humble opinion.

I heard we had a mini ice age on the way. Sounds like 'the end of the world is nigh' crap.
I aint gonna be around to see it if it ever happens, so me, not bothered.
There is no point in stressing over things you can't control.

It’s all a giant tax con, come on people wake up! We are taxed to death. The government tax us while waving the green flag then want to build extra run ways at airports. They have created an industry out of thin air, and it’s worth billions. When China stops building a coal powered power station every hour I will worry about sorting my rubbish.
Scientists have been court red handed altering data to suit the governments plan. Emission trading is now massive and people are getting rich from it. Take the Corus steel plant for instance. It was a healthy business with profits of over one hundred million a year. It was shut down and now the parent group of the company (Tata) receives almost six hundred million a year from European emissions trading as it cut its emissions.
Every official body in this horrible country is corrupt, they will continue to rape us with new tax ideas until we fight back.

Climate change: What has really annoyed me in the last couple of weeks, in this cold weather - shops that leave their doors open. Laura Ashley and Dorothy Perkins to name but two. Whats the point of the rest of us trying to 'do our bit' when they seem to be trying to heat up the whole of Haywards Heath???

Some of the eastern side of the usa is bracing itself for thirty inches of snow tonight, if this is global warming, then I don't want to know what isn't.

'Comentor'

The latest theories are simply that - the latest in a series. There will be another set of theories along in a few months / years to contradict the current ones.

The whole concept of 'Man Made Global Warming' (MMGW) is already wilting under the weight of massive criticism because of dubious research practices used to justify what has become an almost evangelical movement so I am sure others will soon rush in to fill the proselytizing vacuum.

I remember in the 60's there was a lot of talk about us going into another ice age, scientists told us that most of Scotland would be under permanent ice ! Now we have "global warming". When nothing happens the scientists will claim that the measures they put in place to combat global warming has worked. there are a few scientists (I will not name any, they know who they are) who want to make a name for themselves even by exaggerating. I do believe that polution does not help matters, but scaring people does not help either.

It is all an issue of money. There are a number of simple things thatcan be implemented that will reduce "global warming" contributors. Reducing speed limits from 70mph to 50mph will result in a 50% reduction in emissions from cars. But at the same time it will also mean a 50% in Government revenue from Taxes. That is totally unacceptable. An eruption from Krakatoa will cause more emissions than the total combined world output. How will that be controlled? Have a Global warming meeting in Scandinavia, and the world freezes over. Where is the Global warming? Scientist got it wrong and Governments are using it to raise TAXES.

If global warming was a real issue, why has Tony Bliar set up at least one company ready to make a killing out of it? If Tone's involved, it must be a crooked scam. Just like the "bird flu pandememic" that funny enough, Dick Cheney has a large interest in the company that manufactures the anti flu drug. Funny that, innit?

Why did everyone have to fly to Copenhagen and then be chauffeured around in their droves?
Oops... sorry just noticed that my washing machines not set to 40 degrees!

I have to apologise to Gordon Brown, the measures he has implemented to combat global warming are already starting to have an effect looking at all the snow and ice outside,

But I can't afford the four wheel drive off road "drive ok on the snow vehlcle" that I had set my heart on, as the global warming tax on it went through the roof,

Argh! So many grammatical and spelling errors! I've always thought man-made climate change was a sham! The money from 'green' taxes rarely go towards 'helping' to stop climate change.

I hate people who argue using pseudo science.

"Cat learns to beg for food". Cats must be super intelligent. Bah

I hate people who say you must not drink when taking antibiotics.

Above all I hate teachers who teach pseudo science and not how to think.

99 percent of the population are scientifically ignorant, and will be sold pigs in a poke by religious maniacs.
