Shadow minister,
Crying Wolf has proven bad in the past !

Careful there Shadow Minister, your prejudices are showing. Why would you single out motor sport for elimination, when on every weekend much more CO2 is generated by football fans & players at every level getting to games. The same goes for fishermen, water skiers & others buzzing around in boats, planes & probably hot air balloons.

Actually we should be subsidising these activities rather than fool windmills & solar panels. After all, if you believe oil & coal is the product of dead dinosaurs, with these activities all we are doing is returning to the atmosphere the CO2 that those dinosaurs stole when they consumed the flora of their day. They with untold billions of sea creatures sequestered the CO2 that flora needs to survive.

Truth be told, these same climate activists, yabbering on about global warming will want us to burn in situ, all the low grade coal not worth mining to try to stave off the coming little, [or major] ice age, with the CO2 produced. Of course all the CO2 thus produced would have as much effect on warming the planet as lighting a match in your lounge room would have on warming the room, but useful idiots will be useful idiots, no matter what the cause.

Runner said;why Bazz? there are multitudes of real challengers instead
of indulging in such nonsense

Well previously I thought it might well have been nonsense because it
seemed in improbable that warming was caused by CO2.
However now somweone comes up with 'yet to be proven" that it is
natural and co2 has no effect. Cause suggested cosmic rays and cloud cover.
To me that sounds much more plausable, and that it will decline again
when the cosmic ray count drops again.

Incidentally, while looking around for more info on the above I found
that there is a group of universities in the UK that have a different
theory that warming is caused by the wobble in the orbit of the earth
around the sun, and the variation in the ellipse of earths orbit.
It is beginning to look like no one is accepting CO2 and have looked
for another answer.
I'll bet someone will say it is the coal companies behind it.

Hasbeen,
I think you're referring to my post. I didn't 'single out' Motor sport as such but being one of the most obvious frivolous, polluting activities makes it a perfect example for my argument. The fact that you're a motor sport enthusiast has no bearing on this hence my typing etc etc.
