I think the feeding frenzy may have started....I hope with all my being that this is the start of journalists feeling a bit miffed at being lied to by 'scientists' over climate....

...the media, when they get their teeth into a victim, can be harsh. Let's hope, hey!

I can't bring myself to a state of optimism just yet, but with Copenhagen unravelling nicely and the fall out from the CRU, who knows?

Perhaps Rupe's bought himself enough time to bale out of whatever foul green funds he's got his dollars in.

These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.

I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.
God forbid that one should use a ballpark figure in a speech, I mean, a lobbyist not being absolutely specific? Well I never!

Yet another non-story, a molehill ready to be billed by the denialists are the next great ski destination.

Airbag, what you don't quite seem to grasp (perhaps because your hands are full of straws) that this is true to form from Fat Albert. Remember that he was recently slapped down by a British court of law for lying through his teeth about sea level rise.

Nope, not a wheel. Just more the of the mud your ilk have thrown recently coming free of the bodywork and being left back with you and everyone else who ignore the elephant in the room.

Airbag, do you have money tied up in this MMGW con? You seem to be defending it to the death. Or are you just a diehard religous believer?

Religion have nothing to do with it and finance even less, that I can assure you. I defend these types because the attacks levied against them are ridiculous distractions from the matter at hand of dealing with the impact of climate change.

Stop being such a deluded tt and get a fking grip. Can you not see with your own eyes? Look at the evidence, rather than the religion. When you can see both sides of the argument, your debating skills are welcome here. It seems you have little to offer beyond slogan. Either debate properly like Ludo or fk off. smile
