Yes los of things might possibly cause sudden climate change, thermonuclear
war, the sun going out, the earth beinghit by an asteriod, you name it.

But Philip is right, the global warming debate is political. We stand no
more chance of engineering or reversing climate change than King Canute did
of turning back the tide. Instead we should be looking at how climate change
can be managed, of how we can adapt to it, not of how we could try in vain to
prevent it. But of course we won't until it is too late. Such is the
arrogance of mankind.

But there are those who choose to use it (and the resultant scare stories)
as an excuse to promote their political beliefs, in the hope that by so doing
thaey can control the lives of others. They are beneath comtempt IMO.

But this newsgroup is not about that, and I apologise for using it to make a
political point. But I think it had to be said.
