Sorry Phillip, but I actually agree with you on so much of your cause:
Climate change may not be purely man made. As a result it should not be a reason for stealth taxation (in the proper sense of 'stealth taxation'), and we should not be trying to save the planet - after all it will outlive the human race anyway.
My point is that we have to maintain our civilisation, regardless of doctrine. Our immediate understanding is no better than that of the ignorance of ancient Greece or Rome.
If the climate does change a few degrees (which without human influences it inevitably will) then the sociological outcomes are beyond your rather limited wind farm hatred.
On the way to work everyday, I drive past a functioning windmill (albeit in my internal-combustion engine machine), however I never condemn such a structure, an icon of an age that led us to industrial revolution. I embrace the fact that renewable energy can be so abundant but also understand that the petrol in my car is also a derivative of solar power
I'm all for for nuclear power and using fossil fuels, but I also know that we live on a large rock of finite size. Peter pitches it well, as Prince Charles did recently (although it pains me to say it (Prince Charles)). We are fine now, but what are handing on to future generations?
Philip, in terms of my friend, a degree in physics, then a MSc in Mathmatical modelling of the Environment, then a PhD in Climate Dynamics. He's also a really nice bloke. How do you know the person that produced these pie charts and what are their credentials?
...or are they one of these Johny Ball types?
