Glasgow climate change conference

[Jim GM4DHJ ...]

Well f*ck all this climate change rubbish...I'm going up to Glasgow to protest about this conference with a big sign saying 'bring it on Glasgow has never had such a nice warm extended summer'

[Sysadmin]

Its the sun that causes it.

[Chris Bacon]

Oh well. Never mind.

[Chris Bacon]

Well, if you don't know what you're on about, forget it. Just don't talk bollocks.

[nightjar]

What I am on about is that the CO2 hypothesis is no more than that. It is not, as it is usually presented, proven scientific fact. There is a correlation between CO2 levels and global temperatures, but there are plenty of correlations between demonstrably unrelated things:

What the all the climate change hypotheses lack is a causal link that can be supported by experimental data.

Perhaps you don't have children, it seems a feature of climate deniers.

I'd rather not take an unnecessary risk with our over-populated planet and leave some natural resources for our children and their children. YMMV

[mechanic]

You doubt that CO2 is a greenhouse gas?

[williamwright]

It isn't a very convincing correlation.

[nightjar]

I am not climate denier. I know that climate change is happening. I simply am not convinced that there is enough evidence that anybody actually know why.

I take the view that we should be spending money on preparing for climate change, rather than taking measures to prevent it based on an unproven hypothesis.

[nightjar]

I didn't say that.

[Max Demian]

If you think the planet is overpopulated, what are you doing having children?
