QUOTE (Blake @ Jan 15 2013, 09:42 AM) Has anyone actually checked what the IPCC say about this? Oh come on; why let reasoned assessment get in the way!

QUOTE (On the edge @ Jan 15 2013, 10:03 AM) Oh come on; why let reasoned assessment get in the way! And they are neutral? What is is safe to say is that no-one really knows. Whether AGW is true or not suits different people and different countries. This is interesting: Has the Met Office committed fraud? And it's alleged The Guardian are complicit. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/01/14/has-...ommitted-fraud/

QUOTE (Blake @ Jan 15 2013, 02:38 PM) But there is one essential point you have all missed.
The warming of the earth amid the emission of greenhouse gases is only a part of the wider, encompassing problem: CLIMATE CHANGE
If you think we are all safe because there is a momentary slowing of temperatures, don't fool yourself. Climate change still means extremes of weather, floods, swathes of land made infertile, storms, tidal waves etc.
The problem of climate change has not abated and won't unless we all make the required paradigm shift in our lives and on a macro level. Scare stories for children and the gullible.

QUOTE (motormad @ Jan 15 2013, 12:26 PM) Sounds like the author of that wattsupwiththat link belongs on this forum along with the other crackpots! Well, don't forget, Mockton is also Head of the Policy Unit for UKIP. So he'd fit in real well.

Most of the sceptics are hoping that 'global warming' simply means we won't need to go to Spain for a warm summer holiday. Bit like the sustainable energy issue; now we can do fracking its all OK and we don't need to worry. Phew, glad that's all over. Now we can start worrying about real things like who won X factor...
