Try Newsnight. That's where all the nutters appear - under the guise of balance.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Very much so.

Actually DDT is a real loss to the household pest control market, for which it was perfectly safe.

[Martin Brown]

Overuse had caused it to lose some effectiveness.

And is still used for malaria nets. Bad news if you are a raptor though.

My tame biologist friend reckons that they were last in line when God was handing out livers. DDT concentrates up the food chain.

Cannibals beware: Humans from the era of frequent and large scale DDT use are not fit for human consumption.

Cr@p. The Americans have found a source of energy that is cheaper than importing stuff so are using it. It just happens to give out less CO2. It gives out more water vapour though and water vapour is far better at being a green house gas than CO2 is.

Those who refer to the GW scam do not have beliefs or disbeliefs. That is the prerogative of zealots

[bert]

That rather proves the opposite

As I gave up on Newsnight many years ago you'll have to enlighten me with an example.

Even the IPCC has revised its predictions as the models didn't work. There is no reason to think that any revisions to the models work.

See above.

So why don't they publish the data?

ell you certainly aren't an expert but it doesn't stop you spouting cr@p.

Why do you disagree with experts?

I will accept anything based on proper science, climate change isn't based on proper science.
