Hey Ian Bryce,
"If a vocal few are the main problem, our duty is to stop them!"

Hang on, I thought the problem you identified was to 'stop trashing their (and our) habitat'.

How does what we say on the forum here have anything to do with Asians chopping down forests and chucking garbage in the sea you idiot?

Which one is it?
The people actually wrecking the planet or the people who exercise their right to dissent your climate crap?

How are we alone to blame for everyone else putting fuel in the cars to power the economy and for daring to turn the lights on, or for flushing our toilets too often?

Do you think we alone created the world problems because of our use of plastic plastic straws?

Maybe you think things like continental shifts, you know Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Australia and Indonesia breaking off and floating away;
Ice ages 'freezing Antarctica over', Doggerland sinking and North Africa being entirely engulfed by sea water to become a desert were all caused by humans too?

Hey Mr Opinion,
"It's too late to turn back the clock on global warming. We have passed the tipping point... blah blah blah"

Good now you can finally go back to putting your mind to use thinking about more constructive and practical things like we can actually do adapt to the environment instead of thinking you can control it.

As usual, we need to clean up after another mis-information know nothing has finished emptying his bowels all over the forum.
Let me clean up this HUGE mis-information campaign.
There is only ONE thing to remember, which fortunately means there is a chance some people will eventually see the light and not the bull, or propaganda.
So, for the umpteenth time;
We (the so called deniers) are more than aware that the planet is warming.
We are also aware that it is normal and has been happening for as long as the planet has been alive.
We also know that the planet, like many things in life, lives on cycles, which means that every few hundred years or so, the planet cycles between hot to cold and back again as a matter of course.
We also know that CO2 is released by the ocean when it warms up, it takes back CO2 when it cools down.
We also know tha the warming comes first, THEN CO2 is released, NOT the other way round!
We also know that the amount of CO2 created by mankind, is negligible, barely worth noting.
So any thinking, open minded, mature adult, with even a modicum of common sense, upon reading these facts, will immediately conclude that Man did nothing to the Planet, and therefore needs to do nothing in return.
What has become increasingly apparent about this GW is that it is a lie, that was created by a group of very wealthy, yet sick and evil individuals, for personal and financial gain, with a very sinister overarching agenda.
Now I suggest you set aside your anti denialist rants and beliefs, and do what you should have done in the beginning, go and do some research!

I finally worked it out. Men have periods because of climate change. Thanks Ian and Steelie. I am now starting to think straight.

Dear runner,

You wrote;

"I am now starting to think straight."

Mate don't do that, please stay true to your inner self. I have always enjoyed your latent thoughts such when you talk about gay marriage being 'shoved down our throats'. It is a source of joy to see the closet door ajar even slightly.

I look forward to more such pearls and I'm sure you will not disappoint.

Sea-level rise of two inches in 200 years. Temperature rise of two degrees or so in 200 years. Yikes !

On TV, one little girl in Bristol, England, all rugged up, tugged at my heart strings: imagine the British Isles having to endure another two-degree temperature rise by 2100 ! Growing grapes in the north of England and southern Scotland, like back in the Venereal Bede's days. Tobacco growing in England, presumably the south, like 400 years ago. Oh, the horror !

And summers now lasting twice as long as winters ! In Adelaide this morning, a minimum of 12 degrees: I dug out my smelly old winter singlets. By midday, it had rocketed up to 13 degrees. How can we endure such conditions ? What is Morrison doing about THAT ?

Bushfires ? Fuel load: most Australians are sensible enough to know that. Sure CO2 levels have risen, and maybe temperatures have gone up two degrees, aggravating the droughts that have plagued Australia every five or ten years since 1788. Sure, do something about CO2. Sure, reduce the use of fossil fuels, maybe bring in nuclear. But don't assume that every problem is caused by the one-and-only Wicked Witch of the Greenhouse Effect. That's religious thinking.

'American writer H L Menken provided a perspective on scares in 1918. “Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; THE WHOLE AIM OF PRACTICAL POLITICS IS TO KEEP THE POPULACE ALARMED (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) BY MENACING IT WITH AN ENDLESS SERIES OF HOBGOBLINS, MOST OF THEM IMAGINARY .”'.
