HYS shows people are waking up and smelling the coffee though.

The world is warming and it is NOT as a consequence of man made carbon dioxide emissions.This is nothing but an excuse to tax tax tax!

Did anyone watch 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' on C4 lastnight? How much more convincing do we need that this issue is politically and not scientifically lead.
It's all pretty obvious - CO2 is a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, humans attribute a tiny fraction of CO2 compared to nature. It's virtually negligible.
Lastnight the program dismissed all of Al Gores trends and showed increased tmeperature causes increased CO2... temperature rises follow sun spot trends - BINGO!

Earth’s climate is violent & changable. Man’s continuing arrogance in assuming we are the driving force behind GW is ridiculous.
We are in a 12,000 year old Interglacial. At the end of the Younger Dryas, 11,000 years ago, temperatures leapt by as much as 8 deg C in only 20 years. Man didn’t cause that, and man is unlikely to be the prime cause of any current warming.
Global warming could be a useful thing to have. The current Interglacial has lasted longer than any previous one.

The Channel 4 documentary about the great climate change swindle certainly gives pause for thought. Top climate scientists agree - including the co-founder of Greenpeace - that man made CO2 emmissions play an incredibly small role in global temperatures. What worries me is why so little heed to paid to such views. Has the current juggernaut of popular thought got more to do with self-interest and politics than science? The BBC could do more to be balanced.

"I expect this HYS debate will be dominated by the climate change denial brigade a.k.a the shareholder elite, and will be full of playground insults such as “tree hugging hippies” etc."

No Edna, hopefully this HYS will be dominated by people who believe in genuine, peer reviewed science instead of the hysteria encouraged by the media and other self-interest groups.
I'm a Geography Phd and I and my colleagues have known for some time that man-made global warming is a myth.

The EU deal on climate change is totally unnecessary, given that Man is not causing GW and cannot influence it it any way. It's about time we woke up and saw through the green myths and government lies. The greens have always wanted to impose their hair-shirt lifestyles upon the rest of us, and governments will use any excuse to raise taxes. Global Warming (supposedly man-made) is the perfect scare story.
