Risking not to have understood your subtleties, it's the environmentalist unholy alliance with climatists which is my point. I don't deny that there may be some temperature fluctuation afoot - our november this far north has been rather mild - not since eighteen.. something the meterorologists say. Well, then it was just as warm before any man-made CO2! Another thing. The doomsayers makes it sound as if CO2 now fills the air and the gullible populace swallow it, but the fact is that the atmosphere composition is remarkable stable, the nitrogen part 78%, oxygen 21% and CO2 a feeble 0,030 plus some rarer gases. How can this insignificant part play such a huge role? No. there's something rotten here. > Arlo has said repeatedly, the truth is somewhere inbetween, but is > tired of the idiotic Holy War whose only goal is to blindly advance an > ideological view rather than discuss real concerns (just as with "PC"). > As for sounding like "Jehovah's Witnesses", those who insist there is a > global, one-world conspiracy afoot, where "the academy, media, > government and entertainment" are all anti-liberty, freedom-hating, > tyrannyists bent on enslaving the world... well, they sound like > "Jehovah's Witnesses" to me as well... "Somewhere in between" sounds like trying to reconcile SOM's dichotomies. However pitting the establishment against people isn't so pronounced over here, it seems more like the mentioned plebeian "howling with the wolves" phenomenon. The bio-fuel issue also caused a stir when it was "discovered" that it was burning food, again my wry smile again over the politicians' effort to be correct - always. Bodvar.
