  Hi Gary. To answer your question - No I don't believe in Man-made climate change. There is no proof whatsoever for the assertion that Man is changing the climate. In my mind to believe in the Man made aspect of climate change is the same as believing in creationism. There is no science behind the assertions put forward by those who are considered experts in and out of the field.
  I believe in climate change because there is empirical evidence that the climate has changed over billions of years.
  Regarding animals having rights - I've always believed that the idea of rights belong solely to Humans. Rights do not extend to animals. Animal rights is one of those emotive ideas which merely serve as a political catchphrase invented by those who take caring for animals to it's extreme.
  As Peter talks about a cockroach and a Koala who decides which rights each individual species gets? What criteria is employed to guage such rights? Will there be an international panel to decide these rights?
  It's strange but I've actually discussed this idea with people over lunch with guests who believe in the idea of animal rights eating chicken sandwiches. How bizarre is that?
