Anyone who believes the planet isn't warming are sticking their heads in the sand.
And almost all the time, the people that don't believe it, it won't affect directly. Anyone seen a significant increase in natural hazards/disasters in recent years? Flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, snowfall etc.
Oh no, its in poorer nations people don't care about! The Maldives for example will not exist in a few decades time because they'll be under water. Why? Because of climate change!
well, hang on.. is it warming or cooling ?
And if it is warming or cooling, why is that human activity and not the natural climate cycles of this planet ?
There is NO, Zero, Zip, Zilch emperical evidence that the planet is indeed warming or that it is driven by human activity.
If *YOU* want to be concerned about environment, rather than running around in hysteria shouting about global warming, why not actually stand up for the decimation of rainforest and the loss of Orangutan habitat, which are being cleared on a huge industrial scale to provide....
errm... eco-friendly [
sic] bio-fuel plantations for EU destined bio-fuels which are mandated by EU law to be used incrementally over the coming years.
Or is that little fact too much for a brain to get around ?
No, there has not been a huge increase in natural hazards / disasters over recent years. There has only been an increase of the ability of news outlets to present the events to the public. Not even a couple of decades ago, a natural disaster could have taken days to be in the media, today it can be shown live.
as posted by Green Granite elsewhere:
As you can see, the temperature variation anomolies were greater in 1850 than today.
Besides, the EU-ETS will not change one bloody thing in terms of climate and temperature.
Ands as for your hissy fit about the Maldives:
It's B/S about rising tide, if anything, it's geological movement that is the biggest threat to the Maldives.
So here. fill yer boots... or
waders...
Despite popular opinion and calls to action, the Maldives are not being overrun by sea level rise | Watts Up With That?
The Maldives are sinking – and we aren’t talking about sea level | Watts Up With That?
The Maldives Emily Littella sea level moment – never mind… | Watts Up With That?
And yet again, the EU-ETS is not only punitive to the industry,
it will have no effect on climate, and as posted previously the EU policies on climate is actually
damaging to the environment. (see growth of biofuel plantations and damage to the environment.)
EU biofuel mandates could cost every adult about €30 each year by 2020. In 2008, about €3 billion were spent in
tax exemptions yes, that's
tax exemptions..
European biofuel mandates are unlikely to deliver a significant reduction and could even increase greenhouse gas emissions
The
EU has approved a binding
biofuels mandate of 10% by 2020
It has calculated that the land required to meet these
mandates for
biofuels for
European cars for one year could feed 127 million people

So please don't give me all this AGW save the planet garbage, all you are doing is toeing the line of the vested interests with their own agendas that serve to sacrifice this industry on the altar of climate change while ignoring that the very policies its spouts are damaging to environment directly and not by any factored or manipulted data to support an unproven theory but by FACT.
AGW is bunkum and belongs with Chemtrails and the
EU-ETS is a fraud.
