Will the Paris Climate Talks be too little and too late? : Comments
By Fred Pearce, published 14/10/2015'The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is going to come out of the oven in Paris,' says a U.N. official. In fact, he said, they leave the world on course for at least 3 degrees C of warming.

What about the 33,000 scientists (round figures) who are 'deniers'. What about the lack of proof that we can do anything at all about (not denied by me) climate change. What about this 'consenus' nonsense that isn't among climate scientists, but among Left, ratbag, rent seekers and activists.
So, let's accept that climate change is real. But let's HAVE PROOF THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT, AND THAT OUR MONEY IS NOT JUST BEING WASTED AS IT ALREADY HAS BEEN! Could the money be better spent on ADAPTING to climate change! Posted by ttbn, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 5:10:09 PM

Q, do we have global cooling?
http://dailycaller.com/2015/05/28/study-predicts-decades-of-global-cooling-ahead/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling only 13,200,000 results from a Google search https://www.google.com.au/webhp?ei=rgUeVvjOE-LNmwW4obuIBA&ved=0CAUQqS4oAw#q=global+cooling Posted by imacentristmoderate, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 5:43:27 PM

//Could the money be better spent on ADAPTING to climate change!//
It probably could. Humans are really good at adapting to their environment and adapting their environment to them on a local scale, but I have doubts about their ability to succeed at geo-engineering on the scale that hippies call for. Posted by Toni Lavis, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 5:45:54 PM

VoxUnius, Lawrence Krauss, a Physicist, stated on a Q&A program that every scientist wishes to find where a strongly held science hypothesis is wrong, and provide a new hypothesis that explains why.
The science study you have promoted hasn't exactly been taken in as a milestone in science. Warmth in the oceans and atmosphere are ramping up at present; when can we expect the isoprene to kick in? There are no magic bullets in relation to climate change. As indicated earlier, the climate scientists employed by ExxonMobil in the &0s and 80s fully supported the view of man created climate change. It was the management of ExxonMobil that decided to undermine climate science. Posted by ant, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 7:10:19 PM

This article is out of date. Contrary to what it states, India has now submitted its INDC. Some aspects of this are as follows:
"Produce 40 per cent of electricity from non-fossil fuel based energy resources by 2030, if international community helps with technology transfer and low cost finance. How: - Install 175 GW of solar, wind and biomass electricity by 2022, and scale up further in following years - Aggressively pursue development of hydropower - Achieve the target of 63 GW of installed nuclear power capacity by 2032" http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/here-are-indias-indc-objectives-and-how-much-it-will-cost/ Posted by Mark Duffett, Wednesday, 14 October 2015 10:48:58 PM

Well I don't know if physicist Freeman Dyson lays claim to being the world's greatest scientist, but he's definitely one of the greats, and he has indeed spoken. The following is a transcript of a recent interview with The Register.
The Register
Top boffin Freeman Dyson on climate change
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/10/11/freeman_dyson_interview/
Some notable Dyson quotes from the interview -
"How does it happen that a whole generation of scientific experts is blind to obvious facts?"
And -
"It is true that there's a large community of people who make their money by scaring the public, so money is certainly involved to some extent..."
And for a review of that interview -
Breitbart
Top physicist Freeman Dyson: Obama has picked the ‘Wrong Side’ on Climate Change
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/10/13/top-physicist-freeman-dyson-obama-picked-wrong-side-climate-change/
Cobber you really should expand your circles of information gathering and Ant, contrary to your beliefs, the time for opinions against climate change is now ripe with overwhelming empirical evidence stacking up for the consensus of blind scientists to begin to evaluate.
