G'day Marc, I have not read the first post yet (only your quote) but am replying to you off list as I think your response in this case is a bit personal and harsh (But I welcome your other contributions!). I realise it is easy to fire off an e-mail without fully realising the implications, or audience.
In our local weather there are long term trends of higher temperatures and lower rainfall, so I am fairly sure the climate is changing. Modelling shows that nature on its own would not have caused this, so I am fairly sure that man is contributing. But my real argument is that "climate change" is a distracting symptom and the real need is to rapidly reduce our use of "natural" resources like fossil fuels and minerals while we still have the option so that our grandchildren will have the means to exist. If we don't slow down our "Growth" there will a catastrophe that makes the Global Financial Crisis pale into insignificance.
