Thanks Slasher, but wow, didn't I rant a bit.?
What was I on this morning?
It could do with some editing and
for the pedants out there, some
grammatical first aid.
I didn't realise how strongly I felt about
the subject. But I really hate uncritical acceptance
of gigantic ideas without any real evidence.
Remember even the most ardent global
warming scientist will readily admit that they
don't really know what will happen. Yet
governments are formulating policy
effecting whole continents on the basis
of an idea, more like an ideology.
What does that sound like to you?
To me it sounds like a religion or some
'ism'. In these situations I'm always reminded
of the 'Emperors new clothes' fairytale.
You remember how it goes. Everyone was told
he was wearing beautiful clothes, which could
only be seen by intelligent people. So when
he strutted his stuff naked, everyone kept
their mouth shut thinking they were the only
ones, some actually saw something there.
Nowdays everyone sees global warming in
action right now every time it rains or doesn't
rain or the sun shines.
It's very relevant to this forum for the reasons
I described. Airports are huge radiators and
most Met stations these days are at airports.
Most others are in cities, another hot spot.
Remember in the late 19th century, the Thames
in London froze over. Imagine what they would
make of that these days.
