    Of course I do. We've had ice ages, medieval warming periods and many changes over millions of years.

    Do I believe the chicken little the sky's falling in Marxist global warming rubbish. Then no, I don't.

    The more appropriate questions for today are how will our climate change and how can we prepare for those changes?
    Are they agreeing with Lord Monckton ? Isn't this what he has been sayng all along ?
    Temperatures may go down as well as up terms and conditions apply.

    Do I believe in "climate change", YES.

    Do I believe we are part of that, YES.

    Do I believe that every living animal and every living plant on this planet can effect the climate, YES.

    Do I think that climate change is junk science that is agenda driven by those who seek to control the world in a fanciful and naive idea that they can solve all the worlds wrongs through a system of world government, YES.

    The more appropriate questions for today are how will our climate change and how can we prepare for those changes? That's why it's important that climate scientists continue their work, and continue sharing their evidence and research so people can stay up to date – and make up their own minds.

    I believe in climate change, but not manmade global warming, I believe in pollution, I believe that gm crops have damaging effects on the soil, insects, animals and humans, we are not as strong as nature, otherwise we would have stopped the earthquake in Japan, the earth predicts, we are here to enjoy earths splendours, to concentrate on manmade global warming is to just create another taxation.
    Manmade Pollution is the area that is understood, manmade global warming went wout with the labour government, it's run it's time, it's boring and serves no purpose, it's like saying we have an effect on the sun, which is quite the opposite, the earth and sun affects us, however we can respect what we have.

    From the article:
    After a couple of cold winters in the UK, the common question was "has climate change stopped?"
    FWIW, the UK has had above average temperatures for six months in a row. Going back to January 2011 only two of the fourteen months have been below the 1961-1990 average. They were July and August last year at -0.2C and -0.1C respectively. By contrast, a couple of months were more than 3C above average.

    An observation here.
    The Guardian article I posted was written by a scientist and possibly a climate scientist.
    I don't think any of the contrary opinions given above have been given by anyone who is as well qualified as the writer to provide an informed opinion.

    Right, you've read the responses. Here seems to be the gist of the message. No, we don't believe in the propaganda b0ll0cks. We know that historically that temperatures have gone up and down massively, with no imput from man. We all agree that industrial pollution is not good, and that man may be having a small impact on world warming.

    We however don't trust politicians, we don't trust scientists that have been caught out lying time and time again just to keep their grant funding and push their Marxist agenda, we don't trust the big corporations that are making huge profits out of this scam, we don't want 'green' taxes on our fuel when it is already sky high, especially when they're just banked at the exchequer (why no money to fuel cell car companies), we don't want more air passenger duty green taxes, why build a 5th terminal at Heathrow and another runway, taxes don't reduce carbon, less flights do, but then we know it's about the money and not reducing carbon, we don't want green subsidies to home solar panels where we the customer have to pay about 40p KWh during the summer when it is not needed, but the energy companies normally buy in at 8p KWh or less and we the customer have to pay for it.

    In fact full stop, we don't want this transference of wealth (via taxes) from the poorest to the richest in the world. If they stopped all of this scam, did some honest peer reviewed unbiased research and then came up with a plan that didn't involve stealing the money from our pockets, then it might get a bit more universal support. Until then, they can stick it where the Sun doesn't shine.
