Thanks for putting that up, Lawrence, and well spoken, Mike
Hulme. No comment needed; just read it.

Seems about right to me, and I'd consider myself an environmentalist.

I did - very good.

Perhaps the ostriches, as well as the armageddonists, will take note.

First well balanced GW article I think I've read.

I'll second that as well. The problem I have, is now that the
politicians and activists have got on their band-wagons on the subject
any balanced and rational approach to the solving the problem have gone
right out the window, it's a lost cause already :-(

I know many think I'm a thick right wing nut case , but this article for me
is very refreshing. Politicians (not all) are cynically putting their
shoulders behind the hyperbole of extremes of GW. Believe me Gordon Brown
and Co are using the scaremongering to increase taxes.
By the way I was left-wing then I grew up.

You can't be that old Lawrence, you obviously don't remember 19 years of
Thatchism.
New Labour is by no-mean left-wing, the problem is they've wasted almost
4 terms for some serious reform and it frightens the life out of me who
may get in next time round. Perhaps we'll be warm enough by then that we
won't have expensive fuel bills :-)

An interesting perspective. With such an emotive, and undoubtedly
important issue such as climate change, we should put our personal
'agendas' (e.g. left vrs. right, green vrs. black, male vrs, female,
capitalist vrs. communist etc...) to one side and let the best peer
reviewed science speak. No 'spin', no egos, no unnecessary emotion, but
also no denial or sticking ones head in the sand.

Regards,
Richard.
