    This needs to be revised, because as you know it is based on false assumptions

    The Himlayan glaciers retreating by 2035 would have been a major killer.

    There are also some mistakes with regard to storms, rain forest destruction...etc etc

    all now known to be false

    ...and the latest

    can the WHO be trusted?

    I've just bought myself a small plot of land and a hut on the side of a mountain in Snowdonia. When my great great great grandchildren are all grown, it'll be beachfront property.

    Boomed!

    If I remember my modern history, Herr Geobbells used to make stuff up. All I am doing is quoting the World Health Organisation, a remarkably Nazi-free group, I suspect ;-)
    I still don't give a toss.

    It's one thing to believe scientists have measured historic temperatures correctly, but a far greater leap of faith is required to believe they can predict future temperatures.

    How many people each year die from the effects of cold winters?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3342939.stm

    But in previous winters, (between December and March), between 24,000 and 49,000 extra people have died compared to non-winter periods.

    That's just the UK.

    This is ridiculous. You are getting beyond parody now - we all know that the planet can be a hostile place. In the last few years we have seen volcanoes, tsunamis, floods and earthquakes, with millions killed. Climate change will probably kill millions more.

    That is not the question, and you know it. What causes climate change ?

    Goebbels would be proud of you

    I will, nighty night

    (BTW, do you know of any studies into the effects of bleeding the radiators on AGW?)

    Not to worry Xen. sasguru will be along in a minute to sprinkle some of his "enlightenment dust" upon it, and make everything clear!

    I think it's time someone did a study into the positive effects of radiator bleeding on AGW.
    I expect it would considerably outweigh the effects of unplugging mobile phone chargers.
