Thank you Peter (12 Sep 2009 1:26p.m.). Yours is the most rational, calm & cerebral contribution I have seen in this now stupidly emotive issue where every man & his dog has a view. The subject of AGW has taken on messianic, religious connotations &, in such an atmosphere, many people are simply not listening any more. Theirs is the one & only truth out there. They see no similarity in their "beliefs" to those of the traditional & far-too-long-lived traditional religions. Prof Ian Plimer comes in for special vitriol from the Warmists, I suspect because they fear the thoroughly scientific appraisal which pervades every page of his book "Heaven and Earth - Global Warming: The Missing Science". Read it & be educated.

Great to see Prof. B do his thing again in NZ. And exactly why was he here? To promote conservation and help endorse our countries wonderful background? ..Not to be harassed by some presenter bragging on about some other issue that is irrelevant to why he's here. Show some kiwi courtesy for the man who's done a lot for world conservation etc..

have you heard the term "straw man argument"?
No-one needs to go to such extremes to reduce climate change.

As far as I'm aware I haven't acutally preached or told anyone how to behave. I have simply arguing the science.

Throwing out ridiculous stereotypes like yours just encourages ignorance

I hear you people saying that you want things to change, so get out there and do it. If all you believers truly believe than get out and live the natural life instead of just bleating. But remember, no housing, clothes, Malls etc and what are you using a computer for? Hypocrisy is what people like you say to me. Just like Green Peace who have 6 large diesel powered ships whilst going around (in Jets and other vehicles) the world and giving us their "holier than thou" green speeches!!!

On the contrary, BernieB. theories are not there to be proved or otherwise. The word “proof” has no place in science (mathematics being possibly the only exception) and if you care to check the literature you will note that its use amongst academics is studiously avoided.

To me, global warming is a crock; a money making venture for some and a scare tactics by others. I tend to go for the former. Lets take a step backwards, what if there was global cooling? Heaven forbid we went into an ice age? What would Al Gore, Green Peace and co be saying then?

This world we live and die in has gone through a cycle of warming and freezing over thousands if not millions of years and there is nothing we can do about it. Dr. Bellamy is right,it is total poppycock.
