At sometime in the future, the hypothesis of global warming being man made, will either be proven fact or a dream of absolute fiction.

My money is on the fiction.

So in the mean time, some people will become very wealthy because of this fiction. In other words a scam.

yep..god made the world in 7 seven days last week and he made it flat and the sun circles it and we just don't hear enough of the other side of the arguement and there is a world wide conspiracy of scientists who stand to make just zillions of dollars out of poor people.

I find it amazing that the religion of environmentalism (as is also true of every other type of religion) can completly block out or over ride the brain's logic center.

Or is it the case that those that subscribe to religion never had a well developed sense of logic.

We can't continue to hype up our lifestyle with every type of luxury and aspire to live in 60 square homes without some kind of fraud to pay for it all . Global warming is that fraud that will enable the continuation of this lifestyle and the only plus for us 'less than 80G' is that AGW will pay off the Debt eg; the money the top end of town spent that never existed.

Rudd can't exist without AGW Tax , he will reduce welfare somewhat and Health but other tax avenues will lead to revolt in his party ; it's a no go zone .

The education "Revolution" will be a fizzer without AGW Tax how will armies of "Tin Shed" educated Uni Grads find employment in a bankrupt Oz .

CO2 is a very small component of our atmosphere , trees cannot grow without it and neither can we , can you really accept that CO2 given our planets history has not been higher than current levels before .

If CO2 is a Bear then why don't we get aggressive with it ; given CO2's affinity with water we could go Nuke Power Generation in WA and SA to pump sea water to Spray Irrigation systems over salt lakes and desert areas (that drain immediately seaward). The evaporation levels from agric. spray irrigation are surprisingly high , as this air rises because it expands and looses density relative to the surrounding air the saturated adiabatic lapse of this parcel of air is about 4.5 degrees F per thousand ft. eventually this parcel of saturated air meets a speck of dust or pollen and an ice Crystal forms the nucleus of a rain drop and as it grows heavier if falls all the while it is gaining CO2

Sorry I can't cope with the conservative mind. most still think the world is only 6,000 years old, so there now way for them to see reason about anything else.

No the far right will need to sit a the kids table for a bit longer. they can throw food and the far left sitting at the same table.
I wounder if the author is an anti HIV=AIDS too?

Kenny - 'most still think the world is only 6,000 years old '.. like many attempts at criticism those sort of comments say much more about the beliefs of the critic than they say about the article under review. In fact, reality is almost exactly the opposite way around..

For criticising global warming mythology is somewhat similar to analysis of the bible as history or a document.. It does not matter what you come up with there is always someone (or a lot) who insist it must all be completely true. Why? Becuase the priests (a few scientists who have flipped) have said so, and it is not the job of believers to question them. Anyone who disagrees is evil.

Best to leave the religious imagery to others.
