#4 try living in the ME for a few years. One Blackpool hotel got solid bookings by guaranteeing rain every week or your money back.

#5 Reminds of an article a very earnest coworker turned me onto about 10 years ago. Something about a 'weather war' with the Soviets. Some kind of gizmo that could do something-or-another with the ionosphere and also change the jetstream.

Very scaring. But then, I guess that's not exactly what these people are on about.

#6 Yeah, this climate-change stuff? I heard the Russians are doin' it with microwaves!

Not ovens, you dopes, the energy.

#7 I'm really, really, really bored with global warming. Can someone please put these twittering drivelheads out of their misery?

#8 If they're right about global warming, then the water currently locked up in glaciers will be free to flow downstream, ending neatly a major current cause of conflict: water scarcity. To me this seems a good thing rather than otherwise. But then, I'm not important enough to spout my unqualified opinion to the entire world, unlike the honourable Foreign Secretary of Great Britain.

#11 Gloom and doom get politicians elected, so we're going to get a steady diet of it for the unforeseeable future. In the meantime, the crappulence they try to feed to the public needs to be fisked at every opportunity.

Carbon dioxide is NOT a "pollutant", but an essential ingredient to all life on Earth. The entire "global climate change" scenario is predicated on the unfounded idea that it's all mankind's fault, and the politicians can "solve" the problem by taking away more freedom from individuals. Forget the rest of the ballyhoo - it's all about a massive power grab perpetrated by the leftist loons in our society, and abetted by the mainstream media, academia, and government. Ms Beckett is an obvious example. Ridding the world of all of these loons would raise the average world IQ by several points.

#12 IF carbon dioxide is a problem why don't the Al Gores of the world buy up vast tracks of land to plant trees. Why don't they get UN money (wouldn't use their own and you know it) to buy up chunks of the Amazon to make UN Nature preserves to ensure the jungles aren't depleted.

Because finger-wagging is more fun.

#13 And far more profitable to complain than try to do anything, no money in actually solving the problem.

#14 I say, bring back the Carboniferous Period. We had CO2 up the Ying Yang, Lots of O2, lots of green stuff growing. Thunderstorms were a b*tch, though. With so much tinder and oxygen, fires roasted things.....big time.
