What a load of bollox, the universe is millions of years old, gullible nutjobs use "evidence" that for the last few years its "changing".

Oh dear David your prejudices are showing dear
Seriously, the consensus amongst scientists is the world is getting warmer, where the debate is and should be is on what has caused it and much more importantly what does it hold for the future.

Come off it Ross, there is nothing you or I can do to affect the climate.
Btw what are my prejudices?

That the climate is changing is not in dispute as people all around the world record temperatures, rainfall etc on a daily basis and the world is getting warmer. What is in dispute is the cause i.e is it us causing it or not. This is where we are mostly in the dark as scientists come out with arguments for and against as each one has a new book published and/or is doing a lecture tour.
I have no doubts that we can cause local environmental problems, when I lived near a 5 way roundabout connecting dual carriageways with motorway slip roads nearby the sun used to be hazy and the air felt impure whilst ten minutes away in any direction it was pure blue sky.

Yes the world does seem to be getting warmer but that is a natural phenomenon all humans can do is try to improve the pollution we continue to make which ruins the more local atmosphere.

Probably the most sensible suggestion to come out of a select committee in the whole history of select committees. But I must say, I'm surprised there are still examples in parliament who don't subscribe to the sociopathic individualism promoted by neoliberalism.

P.S. Surely this thread should be in either the 'General' or 'Politics' sections.
