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

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 :-(

Of course you're mad; you're just in remission. :-)
The Rutland closes at the end of the month, BTW. The landlady is
retiring and has sold it to a property developer. Last one out set the
detonators.

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

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.

I can't say I read all the way through the page. What happened this
year is that the normal British weather and presumably the same for
the Americas, was hijacked by a severe series of typhoons running from
April to October.

I am skeptical about the cause being glowballs but I don't remember
denying the fact either. My reason for skepticism is that these
conditions occurred in centuries when men were considerably thinner on
the ground than they are these days.

Such centuries including times when the agricultural practices were put
under great stress by politicians. Notably the tree taxes of the Roman
Empire.

If ice-core physics is a successful branch of science, such disasterous
cycles took place in mainly agrarian communities. Certainly no CFCs
were involved and little over-production of CO2.

But that is just my opinion. Here's another one: I do like your posts
when they refrain from carrying anything you say.

And I agree with the so called expert on the subject of the major
problems in Global Warming being the advocates for change. It isn't gas
emissions and it isn't even the more likely causes: the building of
dams, conversion of marshland and deforestry etc..

The advocates of Glowballs are a right PITA and extremist in nature
too. I wonder they aren't recruited by the CIA or Taliban or some such.
They really are emotional coils.
