Default Re: global warming true or false?

Hi
Thanks for your level headed responses, my post appears to have been read in the spirit it was intended. But id just like to qualify my remark that Paul responded to with. "I've not actually seen any rational and reasoned explanation of how getting a "false" acceptance of global warming can readily make anyone (or any government) extra money,"
It seems "in the uk at least" that every aspect of climate change is being exploited, from recycling whereby we pay through or taxes to have the raw materials extracted, only to buy the product back at an inflated price. through to the recent hike in air fares where people (even though they had already paid for their travel in advance) are now charged an additional "green tax". Now most people would not have an issue if they could see that this additional money was channelled directly back in efforts that could improve the environment, rather than it just being absorbed in the government coffers. and squandered on items such as MPs expenses so they can live a more lavish lifestyle. and if governments want to do anything about the real issue, then they have to act and not just talk.
