"this is undisputed (amongst those that matter)"?. Sorry Daniel i do not know you, but to me this issue effects everyone, and therefore everyone matters, and this type of statement smacks of "the emporers new clothes" I have no doubt that there is a change of climate, and that there is scientific evidence to suggest that our habits could have an effect on it. however science does get it wrong now and again, and it wasnt that long ago that the scientific community were elated that fossils of microscopic life had been discovered on Mars, only to find that this was a mis interpretation of the data. Climate change is real, and there is no hard evidence that our lifestyle has any significant effect on it, and i think we are flattering ourselves if we believe we are significant enough to control this planets cycle. however that does not stop governments and agencies jumping on the band wagon at any opportunity to find financial gain in it.
Just in case you think i am some sort of heretic that is attempting to create conflict here, i am not, i am an ordinary person who believes that we should preserve our environment for the future.
