Hmmm, while there is undoubtably some substance to the claims of the catastrophians, the longer this argument drags on with the ineffective but, of course, revenue raising, half baked carbon footprint exchange schemes initiated to combat it, the more I am thinking the whole thing will turn out to another over-hyped scare like Y2K, bird flu and swine flu to name but a few.
Take X daily to reduce cholesterol, NO! Don't take X it causes cancer, take X under medical supervision, it causes cancer but reduces obesity............and so it goes on. We are bombarded with such pseudo science drivel almost every time we listen to the news or read a newspaper.
It seems there always has to be some dark foreboding threat hanging over us to shape our existance. In the absence of a real war we lived for ages under the threat of the cold war and communism. As soon as that fizzled out or maybe became unsustainable we are now wallowing in Terrorism and Global Warming.
I wonder what the next crisis to club us with might be.
Certainly food for thought.
