  I suspect that I know much more about the subject than those lazy enough to merely paste copy from outlets like the Guardian. It strikes me that once again you are fooled into believing this mans words because he is an "important person". It's as if you scour the entrails of the Guardian environmental section searching for this piffle and say to yourself "hey there's more proof of globall warming - even a jolly sailor says so".
  That's not debate. That's just plain silly.
  It's what is known as an appeal to authority which is why they make traffic wardens wear a uniform and peaked cap and security guards at supermarkets wear crypto-military attire. So a jolly sailor, by no means an expert in the subject, gives us all the benefit of considered ideas on climate change and we are expected to believe what he says to be the last word?
  Blimey I'd better get myself a popeye outfit and do the same. Hell I could give my views on all sorts of issues and the world will see that I am right.
