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.
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.

The name global warming isn't technically correct, some places will get colder, some warmer, some drier, some wetter. This is an international problem and ignoring it won't make it go away.
Developing solutions might;big, cheap and different-that's the almost impossible thing we need.
I guess we need to have a global nuclear war to thin the population down a bit....buckets full of sunshine, that's what we need to solve the problem.
How do you know? Why can current climate change not be happening for the same reasons it happened before?
Incidentally I have seen much of the science "proving" AGW debunked too.
'...we can both quote scientific articles which support our views'
Well you haven't cited anything. There was the claim about 'Mt. Pinatubob in the Phillipines' and Bellamy, both easily debunked false claims, pseudo-scientific definitely, but scientific? Not remotely. At least what I've cited is linked to the science.
At least you could try getting your facts right.
Try to get your facts right. So far your claims are wrong.

How does your hero Moonbat explain the fact that it was warm enough in this country in Roman and medieval times to grow grapes for wine in many areas where it is too cold nowadays?

If this type of event happens nearly EVERY YEAR I will join them.
However, so far it is a random event.
1947, Thames flood, more than 100,000 properties affected, Global Warming?
I think not.
