I'd rather go with Professor David...no not the David King version but
Professor David Bellamy. He clashed with this man earlier this summer (read

Your ideology is blinding you to the scientific evidence. There are two
separate issues here that are clear and distinct.

1. Is there evidence of an anthropogenic component in global warming?

Yes. The scientific evidence is now pretty compelling (see for example
last years review in The Economist). Even the scientific GW sceptics
cannot balance the numbers for the last few decades without including
greenhouse gas forcing into their (contrived) models.

2. Is Kyoto worthwhile?

This one is more difficult. No. It probably is nothing like enough to
make a real difference, but it was at least a start in the right
direction. And there is really no excuse not to make energy efficiency
savings where possible.

Bellamy is lying in this article. He says increasing levels of CO2 will
not heat up the atmosphere. (Poppycock, he calls it. I wonder what his
explantion of the temperature on the surface of Venus might be?) Bellamy
has absolutely no atmospheric science credibility and has carried out no
theoretical or practical experiments to support this claim. This is why he
could never get such comments published in any bone fide scientific
publication, but has to rely upon scribling to the Daily Mail instead.

How pathetic.

Unfortunately there are a lot of readers of the Daily Mail that believe
every word written in it. Sad but true.

But we *do* know he is Right Wing. What a prat. And an ideologically led
fool, to boot.

NB Right wing lunatic fringe. Remember that in the UK the global warming
issue does not split cleanly along party political lines like it does in
the USA.

It was a Tory government under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher that
first took global warming seriously and raised its profile at cabinet
level. The Labour government have not actually progressed things much
beyond the initiatives that she started. Recently they even relaxed some
targets.
