Prevent global warming, burn more coal!

Never said it wasn't. Doesn't stop people from cashing in on it.

Shame on those people ...

I think it's a shame good scientists are ridiculed and the only ones that are supported and funded are ones that back flawed theories .....

Actually 7 out of the last 10 European winters were warmer than average. The snows last December seem to have been due to a shift in wind patterns, while it was cold here it was breaking warm temperature records in Canada. Amazing as it may seem, the IPCC are aware of the sun and its cycles, and it is a factor in the models. Unfortunately the cooling effect of a sun 'stuck' in a Maunder Minimum would be cancelled out by just 5 years worth of greenhouse gas emissions at current rates.

After all the additional energy trapped in the atmosphere by manmade GHGs is equivalent to detonating 1 million Hiroshima bombs every single day.

Gosh... have no fear, they're building modern renewable energy farms, problem sorted:

Gosh... have no fear we can rely on renewables to provide reliable power:

They're only ridiculed if they don't support the wider agenda.

Is there true freedom of speech on the internet? Seems everything is still open to censorship or legal challenge if you dare say something that people with more power than you don't agree with.
