I don't deny global warming is happening.

I don't deny that the environment is changing.

I don't deny that evidence shows that to be so.

I don't deny that pollution is a problem. Bloody Hell,
it's been a problem for hundreds of years. We were one
of the worst for it in the early days.
Likely it will get worse as developing countries grow.

America still accounts from some 25% of the world population's output of CO2 emissions, plus a healthy percentage of other pollution. Yes, we are far cleaner than we were, but in total we're still right at the top. Yes, developing countries will grow and their output will rise, but I don't see us dropping any time soon. That's an amazing number for a country with such a small percentage of the world's population.


What I do deny is that we are supposed to be responsible
for all this change on a world that changes all the time.

A boat moves on the ocean. The people in the boat all move to one side, and water comes in over the beam. Who's responsible for the boat sinking, the ocean or the people on the boat?

The scientists who find that may be this is wrong leave
the research, distancing themselves from it. But their
names are not taken off, leaving a growing list of scientists
in 'consensus'.

Who, specifically?

We have had reliable instruments to make measurements
of this planet for a relative nanosecond, and all of a
sudden it's 'STOP!'.

The information I heard is that we have pretty accurate average temperature readings for periods of time going back thousands of years, and this last century's temp rise is astounding relative to any other.

Crying about polar bears and such like. Come on. A thorn
scrapes my eye to see the shots and commentary from Attenborough
but I believe it is nature doing it's thing. Funny how
the less 'cute' wildlife isn't so prevalent on these shows.

C'mon. Being in retail you can appreciate good marketing, can't you? :-)
Carpe diem!
