I think all this AGW stuff is basically politicised carp. Climate
changes, it always has and always will. And man may or may not have
influenced that. But man certainly doesn't control the climate (thank
God, or it would be used as a weapon of war), we simply don't have
enough knowledge to do that, so all this stuff about limiting global
warming to 2 degrees C is basically rubbish. We can't be that precise.

As for predicting how it will change in the future, we have not been
very good at that so far, have we, despite our expensive computers.
So we need to treat such predictions with extreme scepticism.
Of course the media always projects climate change as a bad thing.
Politicians, who control the media, do too. It's a monster designed
to scare us into parting with more of our money and ceding more
authority to the powers that be. However, it might actually be a good
thing. Does anyone ever think about that. More CO2, more crops.
More warming, huge areas of tundra that might become fertile. It is
far from certain that on balance it would be bad for humanity. That
is just the spin that politicians and their lackeys put on it.
