Default [OT] The state we are in

Dawlish, how can you deny that scientists are at variance on global warming? If the science was so clear and unequivocal and the findings of scientists so unanimous, there wouldn’t be all the controversy that there is; no-one would dare to be a denier under those circumstances. Although, speaking for myself, and I suspect many others, when I see any sort of bandwagon, I am instinctively suspicious because I’ve noticed that there is a certain type of person who loves to have a self-righteous stick to beat the rest of us with, the modern equivalent of the old hell-fire preacher. I’ll continue to read as widely as I have time for and keep an open mind. Ian Bingham, Inchmarlo, Aberdeenshire.

You are wrong. And those who cite a discredited has-been like Lindzen are not up with the play at all. The "dissenters" are a small minority in the scientific community, but still include plenty of scientists who have no expertise whatever in any aspect of meteorology, but are more than willing (along with conservative TV station weather hosts!) to make confident assertions about the "facts".

The "controversy" is politically-inspired tripe emanating from vested interests acting in the same way as the tobacco lobbyists, and media organs who think it's reasonable (convenient, in reality) to treat all arguments as equally valid. The media gave that discombobulated loon Monckton air time he didn't deserve in his recent visits down under.

I suggest you spend more time looking at these sites (below) for example - but don't expect to be treated too politely if you want to start quoting the uninformed.

The esteemed Bob Carter has produced a load of risible rubbish on warming and CO2, and has been well and truly exposed as an ignoramus on the matter.
