Reply to: How could you "prove" man made global warming isn't happening?

Oh dear. sasguru missed that I wasn't being entirely serious, again. The clues were
1- "apparently"
2-
3- as someone who believes in the existence of God, I'm hardly going to subscribe to an argument that is often used to attempt to show that the onus of proof is on believers.

Sorry if it was too subtle for you.

You have previous form for cretinous statements. Sorry if I didn't pay attention to the "subtleties" in you post.

Isnt global warming just an excuse for socialist governments like Labour to just massively hike the air passenger duty, car tax and various other stealth taxes ? Fuel duty goes up every other month because burning fossil fuels will destroy Earth according to the politicians.

They all know that for Earth to be destroyed it will take thousands of years and surely by then we would have cleared hundreds of generations. But the politicians just dont want the plebs to know that, they have to raise more taxes somehow to propagate their socialist agenda.

Yes the socialist politicians are in cahoots with the science academies and scientists around the world in a massive conspiracy to tax us to death.
Lucky we had a genius like you to spot it. Are you going to the papers with your scoop?

I am pretty sure politicians can destroy earth much quicker if they really put their minds to it

They tried with Chernobyl.

Evidence can provide support for a scientific theory, not proof.
Evidence can however disprove/falsify a scientific theory.
Did you study at a poly?

Al Gore's wealth is his own business, however as he advises Google and is on the board of Apple, and derives most of his wealth from considerable stock options in both those companies, does this mean that we should disbelieve in the internet and smartphone?

And he donates all profits from his climate change books, movies and his Nobel Prize money to an educational charity.

I am afraid that it is not his own business. If he is profiteering from the AGW debate then he clearly has a profit motive for pursuing his own agenda. As for your assertion that he gives it away I presume you can verify this?

And I bet he advises Google and Apple

A few Hollywood sci-fi movies then can be used to press the message home.

The thing is about "junk science" or "pseudo science" as Richard Feynman called it, is that you can make it sound sufficiently plausible so that people will believe it, particularly when you add in a touch of politics and religion. A few Hollywood sci-fi movies then can be used to press the message home.

True.
And also true is the fact that cretins don't know what science is.

There's money in AGW, true. But it's not that. You'll never get it.
How's your house in Swindon doing?

My house in Swindon is growing in value, in the same way that the world is warming.

Add in cutting down vast areas of rain forests to grow crops for bio-fuels, pushing up the prices of basic foodstuffs as farmers make more money from bio-fuels.

The AGW plot is far from green. The only green is the dollar bills lining pockets.

So if over the next 10 years the average temp anomally stays at zero (which it pretty much is now), we still have Global Warming?



And the money keeps rolling in......
