*What* evidence?
Have you noticed any significant change in the weather, sea levels or any of
the other dire predictions in your lifetime?
Or are you under the impression (which the enviro loonies certainly tried to
give at the time) that the asian tsunami or hurricane Katrina, for example,
were consequences of GW?
I know that the green line is to continually repeat "now the evidence is
overwhelming", but they don't actually provide the evidence. Just rehash the
same old flawed and/ or highly selective studies and misused statistics
we've seen a thousand times before. They are becomeing more shrill not
because it is happening but because if they don't get their way soon it's
going to be obvious to everyone that, yet again, their dire predictions
haven't materialised.
I do know where people might get the impression that there is a problem;
every time any weather related event makes the news the greens are there
with a press release blaming GW which certain newspapers are only too ready
to splash in big headlines, but how many notice the later followup in more
rational places which says that it was no such thing?
The politicians, of course, love it because they can introduce as many new
taxes as they like, as long as they call it "green". It will even allow them
to stay in office while presiding over a *declining* economy, which would
otherwise be electoral suicide.
Incidentally, if you really believe in anthropogenic global warming, *why is
your primary leisure activity based on the extensive use of an internal
combustion engine?*
Mine is primarily wind powered, and even towing it around Scotland to launch
it I must use a fraction of the diesel you do in a year.
