Keep the articles coming Prof.

There is no "solution" to natural occurrences. The climate alarmists are just looking for more money to keep themselves in cushy jobs scaring gullible people. Governmments go along with the human cause nonsense because the maintenance of fear gives them more control over people. Businesses love it because the they can add the increased cost of services to their profit margins.

Professor Carter is to be congratulated for his tireless effort to expose the fraudulent anthropogenic global warming claims. The problem is how to convey this message to the likes of K.Rudd and M.Turnball etc.

The human species will continue to muddle through as usual. Humans are one of the toughest of biological species. Thus we can absorb almost limitless amount of green and/or environmental drivel and continue to prosper and grow.

Sock it to 'em Bob. By the way a 'spline' is a type of curve that can be made to twist and turn as you please. I have one proving that I grow younger every day. The big problem now is those pesky coincidences like ice shelves breaking off or heatwaves more than offsetting the cool areas. You might have noticed that coal, oil and gas are all getting rather expensive. By some incredible good luck the IPCC's advice to cut back turned out out to be spot on.

How is a non-scientific person to wade through and make sense of the literature when the scientists cannot themselves agree? It is a big ask but the best we can do is read, read and read some more.

Scientists appear to agree that global warming is occurring (the evidence is too great) but the disagreement is to the cause and with it the solutions (if any are to be had).

Is it man-made or natural evolution of the environment, or a combination of both and if so what percentage can be attributed?

I have chosen a greener path because regardless of the global warming debate man does have an impact on his environment:

1) through the over-utilisation of natural resources (aided by our high growth consumerist economies);
2) pollution of waterways, land and air;
3) genetic manipulation in regard to GM crops without proper caution and evidence based research regarding the impact on other species (cross-pollination and potential medical consequences etc); and
4) uncontrolled and poorly managed land clearing and logging.

As a layperson, do I know absolutely without hesitation that global warming is largely caused by man? NO but neither do the detractors.

What we do know is that for many reasons we have to reduce man's impact on the earth - global warming gets more media attention than the others and certainly by reducing our contribution to green-house gases cannot do any harm and only more good.

To pretend that we can go on in the unfettered exploitation of natural resources exacerbated by our increasing populations without having any impact is just as foolish as the label you are applying to the global warming believers.

Here's a question for all the 'climate change is rubbish' boofheads of the world - why would almost the entire global scientific community exaggerate or even make up the fact that climate change is happening and it it caused by humans? Do you seriously believe that this is one big scam being perpetuated on us by the entire global scientifice community? Just so they can convincingly argue for a few more research $$?

Oh please. Think it about it rationally. An entire section of the human population, people who have brought an untold number of advances to humankind, are now all secretly conspiring to con us out of a few bucks.

give me a break

They are normal people, just like you and me. There are some dodgy losers amongst them, just like you and me and some of them are dishonest, just like you and me. but don't expect me to believe it's all just one great scam. Let me guess - the brains behind the entire operation is a sinister force known only as 'Mr Green?'
