Dr Dave said in part......
"Many scientists active in the field post at this site. You will see that the consensus amongst serious climate scientists is that this is real."

How interesting - they wouldn't be the ones anxious to keep their Financial Grants going. How would they do that if Climate Change is just a given fact and we have no real influence over it. Or ever will be able to.
Of course when Scientific progress is made it is always done by the majority of Scientists isn't it? Not by the individual Darwin, Copernicus, Mendel, Archimedes? I think not, dear Doctor Dave. Take the blinkers off and apply real accurate science, not statistics that can be made to fit the situation the doom mongers wish to promote. This hysteria has all come about because we have been lulled into expecting 100% safety, 100% predictability, 100% liability and 100% stability. Newspapers, TV stations can't publish no-news stories - everything has to be hyped up. PPrune is full of sensation seeking journos whenever an accident occurs.
Our human psyche must explain the inexplicable. Religion exists because no one wants to die and vanish. Doesn't seem fair does it? In a few years when the start of the next trend towards another Ice Age happens what will Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Johnathan Porrit and their like do for a living?
We can't even predict accurately any weather other than general conclusions. Even these are not to be relied on unless it is based on a High. Low pressure area predictions are often hopelessly wrong even with Bracknell's latest number cruncher. In 1946 my mother said the bad weather was caused by the 'Atom' In the 1600's it was Mankinds unchristian behaviour. The Aztecs slaughtered thousands to get a good crop. Global Warming hysteria is along the same path.
Let's have some good Science for a change, in this case Climate Change, one of Mother Natures little miracles. BTW not one Kyoto signatory is on track. And it won't make any difference anyway.
Time for a nice cup of Earl Grey and a dunkable chocolate biscuit. While there is still water in the tap.
