Kudos for the swagger, boys,

Shame about the lack of scientific substance.

Oh well.......

Well Poirot, give us some substance, rather than just smart chat.

You know where to find the substance, Hasbeen...but according to you, the people who are qualified to provide it are all frauds.

OBAMA ! OBAMA ! OBAMA !

I had been thinking about emigrating, then I realised, Christ, where to, it's all one world ?? And then He won ! Fantastic !

FOUR MORE YEARS !

Now: Poirot,

* world temperatures have risen 0.7 degrees in a century. True ? False ?

* sea-levels have risen somewhere between 2 and 6 inches in a century. Wow. True ? False ?

* Extreme weather-events are about as common now as they have been for a century or more, perhaps effectively, forever. True ? False ?

Please try - if you feel inclined - to confront those issues, without side-tracking, ad homineming, or otherwise sliding away from the issues. Or, as you have the right in a democratic society, keep contributing without actually writing anything with teeth. Let us know if you do, and we can ignore you.

It's your choice :)

Cheers,

Joe

Thank heavens, Obama finally mentioned The Climate, in his victory speech: "America... threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet."
Whatever the AGW doubters say or think - and they are perfectly entitled to their doubts and questions, within the bounds of rationality and human courtesy - business, industry, politics, finance and the mainstream elements of society worldwide are all now taking precautions against man-made climate change.
Saying "it isn't happening" or "it's all lies" will not prevail against collective human commonsense.
The US silent majority has spoken.

reality check:

I very much doubt that AGW was a major factor for most voters.

This sounds like wishful thinking on your part.

Full disclosure: As most OLO posters know I have no doubts about the reality of AGW.
