mhaze,

A few corrections:

YouGov, according to Wikipedia, is a British
international internet based research and data
analytics firm with headquarters in the
UK with operations in Europe, North America, the Middle East
and Asia-Pacific.

In other words it's a global political opinion
and data company that has made a science of global online surveying.

What I quoted from the survey was:

1) The study was compiled from answers in 28 countries.
2) The findings were that almost 90% of the world believed that
climate change is real.
3) That young people are more likely to take climate change
seriously.
4) That 42% of the world's population is under the age of 25.

I then went on to give my opinion - that no rational person
is going to deny that the planet has a finite amount of
resources or that it can tolerate only a limited amount of pollution.

I explained that if world population continues to
grow rapidly along with consumption,
if industrialisation spreads around the
world and if pollution and resource depletion continues at an
increasing rate - we are heading for disaster.

I continued that in our modern industrialised world we often
feel insulated from nature and confident that our technology
can give us mastery over the national environment. That we
forget all too easily that we too are animals dependent on the
environment for our survival as any other species.

I trust that this clarifies things for you - and you
might manage to tone it down with the personal insults.

Dear Mr Opinion,

My apologies for nor being able to respond earlier
but I had used up my posts and had to wait.

Thank You for bringing the Cook article to my attention.
I'd missed it earlier. I did manage to scan it now
briefly and I did pick up the fact that "among abstracts
expressing a position on AGW 97.1% endorsed the consensus
position that humans are causing global warming."

Also that "their analysis indicates that the number of
papers rejecting the consensus on AGW - is a vanishing
small proportion of the published research."

So Thanks for the information.
It is appreciated.

Hey Josephus,

People believe the dumbest stuff.
Here, watch people signing petitions to save the triceratops, woolly mammoths and sabre-tooth tigers...

Hey Foxy,
I read about 2 lines of your article...
- And got to here:
"Trump’s sneering attack came amid a torrent of often misogynist.,."
Sorry, I'm not going to give an audience to that feminazi crap...
Funny where the linked article went.

The Misogyny of Climate Deniers
http://newrepublic.com/article/154879/misogyny-climate-deniers

These people are deranged and never stop.
If all these people care so much about climate change and population growth when they're importing Muslims and Africans, then I think they should all be loaded onto a rocket and fired into the sun.

Why don't all you climate types just consider a mass-suicide to help the planet if you all care so much?
At least we could then say you put your money where you mouth is.

Tell me are we pumping less oil or building less oil pipelines, or stopping the wars fought over them? No.

The world is NOT going to end in 12 years, but the climate change agenda will ENTIRELY take whats left of our sovereignty in half of that.

Stuff climate change and stuff globalism and stuff your stupid muppet show.
If you want to be ruled by foreigners, then do the rest of us a favour and leave Australia.
I prefer to keep our soverignty, not have policies dictated by little girls barely past their first period.

AC,

Your bringing up little girl's periods?
Goodness me.

From your post it appears that you are the human
version of period cramps.

AC,

And you, and the likes of you, every time you wake
up and open your mouth - you pollute the planet.
