Gary Johns again? When is Online Opinion going to let a climatologist address some of these articles?

Climatologists can address any article on this site just by commenting or writing their own article.

Shell had a film produced in 1991, the message is quite clear; in dong nothing about climate change the risks are high. ExxonMobil scientists were stating the impact of fossil fuels in the 1970s. A short newspaper article published in 1912 warned of the impact of fossil fuels. Alreadyin the mid 1800s experiments showed the interaction of CO2 and light.

Aidan said on 26 February 2017:
If you think I regard wage owners as slaves, your comprehension level's even worse than Jardine's! What I'm not sure of, though, is whether it's my position or reality you fail to comprehend. If you think all duty is slavery, it's the latter.
It is simply a statement of fact that when someone has paid tax, they no longer own the money they have paid; the government does.
But on 23 May 2016, Aidan said:
Government money is government money, not other people's money. The government may choose to return it to the people (or not take it in the first place) but doing so has economic consequences.
There is only one way to interpret that statement: all money belongs to the government, which may on occasion choose to "return" or "not take it in the first place". And the lowly wage earner is a slave whose wages belong to the government to do with as it will.
That is the problem with socialists: the individual counts for nothing. And history shows that that sort of thinking has given us millions upon millions of deaths under Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot and others "for the sake of the greater good", which will turn into Utopia at some unspecified time in the future. In every case, that delusion became apparent all too quickly.
Still, Aidan, no doubt would have been there in his kommisar's uniform organising the firing squads "for the greater good".
Here's a lesson for life, Aidan: you might as well tell the truth, because then you won't have to remember what you said last time.
