If you think global warming stopped in 1998 have a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y15UGhhRd6M&feature=channel

Sadly, since the tipping point evidenced by the dramatic melting of the Arctic summer ice in 2007 (50-100 years ahead of IPCC worst case scenarios), the scientific debate has moved on from "is it happening?" to "is it already to late to avoid a rise of five degrees C, mass extinctions, climate wars and deaths of a large proportion of humankind?" and "if we overshoot and then reduce emissions to around zero will the the earth cool, or will the results of over shooting be irreversible?".

We have no choice but to do everything we can to reach zero emissions as fast as we can.

Not only is the technology available, it is rapidly being commercialised at low cost overseas. 'Quarry Vision' (Guy Pearce) blinds the 'Labourils' to the stupidity of continuing to export our green economy innovations off shore. Who will be buying our coal when low cost high efficiency paint on solar panels are available in a year or two, solar hot water systems costing $200 can be purchased from China and low cost air powered cars from India?

PS Anyone with questions about the science - particularly any who have difficulty with following the idea of a trend line - should check with http://www.realclimate.org/ where climate scientists effortlessly demolish the lies of the fossil fuel funded sceptics.

What concerns me most about disciples of 'Austrian' economics is that they don’t even seem to understand the basic science concerning climate change, and are fully thirteen layers deep in bulsliht.

Especially when climate scientists are warning that we only have a few years in which to make major cuts in emissions.

Hmmmm something not quite right here, greenpeace guy being clearly one sided, suspect spin and misdirection .. oh, there it is ..

Especially when SOME climate scientists are warning that we MIGHT only have a few years in which to make major cuts in emissions.

fixed ..

Yes, 8 years since anything that could even be spun as warming.

Yes, The arctic ice is back to the average since satallites gave us a true picture of what was there, & the bull S team who went boating to "prove" the lack of ice, had to be rescued, because of excessive cold.

The entire con is comming apart & its promoters are spweing forth even more radical bull to try to cover the failure

Greenpeace are liars without shame, who have already demonstrated that they are quite content to let people in developing countries starve, to satisfy their misanthropic deep-green agenda.
