Sorry about all that alarmist climate change stuff

[ladymuck]

The Speccy regularly publishes articles from all sorts with contradictory viewpoints. There's a couple of columnists who often take a pop at each other's articles and tell the readership why they're right and other is wrong.

But, yes, go look for a conspiracy instead of having a grown up discussion.

Interesting. Old money (and vast amounts of it) from the back of the slave trade.

Probably have a lot of money invested in oil and gas now.

Everyone has an agenda.

The main issue is that climate change has become monetised. And so it's now about making money and the truth will be bent to support that goal.

It's only monetised because otherwise some people just don't fooking get it.

There is no vaccine from climate change, and it's coming rapidly, so stop the climate change, and in process bankrupt fookers from 3rd world who sell oil/gas and use that money to fook with the West, plus get loaded on the back of it - what's not to like?

Only people who have rational reason to oppose it are those barons who sell oil/gas - fook 'em, they'll have to take one for the team Earth.

It's just another example of why it is so important to do your own research and not just believe one point if view or another.

Although if you all don't agree with me you're racist or something!

I think discussion without turning it into a foamy mouthed slanging match is needed. As with everything, there is nuance.

No on CUK there isn't.

You need to get more sanctimonious.

Which is then seized upon by the intellectually challenged as proof that all claims concerning Climate Change are rubbish. But I note that Shellenberger is not necessarily correct with all his statements - there's room for discussion.

Interesting read anyway.
