Believe me Gordon Brown and Co are using the scaremongering to
increase taxes.
By the way I was left-wing then I grew up.

You can't be that old Lawrence, you obviously don't remember 19 years
of Thatchism.
New Labour is by no-mean left-wing, the problem is they've wasted
almost 4 terms for some serious reform and it frightens the life out of
me who may get in next time round. Perhaps we'll be warm enough by then
that we won't have expensive fuel bills :-)

Keith, but it does warm the cockles of the heart reading articles like
that. Surrounded by the State of Fear as we are, it is good to know
there is still an attempt at reason from the scientists.
The political interpretation of course bears no resemblance to the
facts.
But heaven protect us from 'Green Dave'!

GiannaSee I told you I wasn't mad-

Of course you're mad; you're just in remission. :-)
The Rutland closes at the end of the month, BTW. The landlady is
retiring and has sold it to a property developer. Last one out set the
detonators.

I can't say I read all the way through the page. What happened this
year is that the normal British weather and presumably the same for
the Americas, was hijacked by a severe series of typhoons running from
April to October.

I am skeptical about the cause being glowballs but I don't remember
denying the fact either. My reason for skepticism is that these
conditions occurred in centuries when men were considerably thinner on
the ground than they are these days.

Such centuries including times when the agricultural practices were put
under great stress by politicians. Notably the tree taxes of the Roman
Empire.

If ice-core physics is a successful branch of science, such disasterous
cycles took place in mainly agrarian communities. Certainly no CFCs
were involved and little over-production of CO2.

But that is just my opinion. Here's another one: I do like your posts
when they refrain from carrying anything you say.

And I agree with the so called expert on the subject of the major
problems in Global Warming being the advocates for change. It isn't gas
emissions and it isn't even the more likely causes: the building of
dams, conversion of marshland and deforestry etc..

The advocates of Glowballs are a right PITA and extremist in nature
too. I wonder they aren't recruited by the CIA or Taliban or some such.
They really are emotional coils.
