I've been behaving myself much better lately. Yes, earlier on I was lashing out against Greenpeace and their antihuman lies and deceit throughout the decades, but people like Swift called me on it and I've tried to leave it outside the discussion with varying degrees of success.

The problem is the media and the politicians. They paint it as a done deal. The Hockey Stick was the burning bush. Kyoto is the Ten Commandments. There is no more debate.

But we know there are so many things that are dodgy about it. The Hockey Stick has been shattered. The best correlation has been with sunspot activity. The CO2 lag has all but destroyed the connection. Then there's chaos theory, which leads me to believe that reducing greenhouse gases will not do a thing to control the climate to our liking, therefore things like Kyoto are naive, purely political, and a waste of perfectly good time and money.

Whether or not you believe that there is a strong anthropogenic influence, you cannot deny that the media and the politicians do not reflect the true state of science. It is a non stop stream of propoganda that gets us worked up. I don't know how it is in America, but no-one would dream of challenging AAGW lest they be burnt alive as a heretic and that's no joke. We don't like what AAGW has become. It has become a vehicle for political agendas and somewhere along the way, the science got left far behind.

If you could highlight some particular examples of misbehaviour (no doubt from me) then I'll either explain them or apologise for them. (I already apologised for the tsunamis thing.)

BTW, I behave even worse when it comes to nuclear power. It's just that I have virtually unanimous support on this board.
