flyingfox, perhaps you misinterpreted what I was saying, I wan't accusing you of being the perpetrator, just the opposite, the victim of someone else's campaign.
Chimbu Chuckles, excellent piece, I would suggest everyone on both sides of the debate read it. He eventually gets to the meat of the problem:
Well here’s why it matters. The alarmists have been handed power over our lives;
the heretics have not. Remember Britain’s unilateral Climate Change Act is officially expected to cost the
hard-pressed UK economy £18.3 billion
a year for the next 39 years and achieve an unmeasurably small change in carbon dioxide levels.
At least sceptics do not cover the hills of Scotland with useless, expensive,
duke-subsidising wind turbines whose manufacture causes pollution in Inner
Mongolia and which kill rare raptors such as this griffon vulture.
At least crop circle believers cannot almost double your electricity bills and
increase fuel poverty while driving jobs to Asia, to support their fetish.
At least creationists have not persuaded the BBC that balanced reporting is
no longer necessary.
At least homoeopaths have not made expensive condensing boilers, which
shut down in cold weather, compulsory, as John Prescott did in 2005.
At least astrologers have not driven millions of people into real hunger,
perhaps killing 192,000 last year according to one conservative estimate, by
diverting 5% of the world’s grain crop into motor fuel.
That’s why it matters. We’ve been asked to take some very painful cures.
So we need to be sure the patient has a brain tumour rather than a nosebleed.
That is my concern - that what strikes me a scam is being used to control millions of lives, and if they had their way billions for dubious science. It would appear that science has been hijacked too justify a pre-ordained outcome: the control of the populous.
