Is Global Warming a con to get more Taxpayers Money?
In the pursuit of tackling Climate Change severe restrictions are put on companies and individuals and hefty taxes are put on us to comply.
But isn't mother nature able to tackle the problem. Only this week temperatures have been lower than at Xmas. There has been an exceptional amount of cloud cover meaning the sun's rays are unable to reach the ground.
Storms and tornados have diluted the carbon in the air. While we have been acting like King Canute hasn't nature tackled it much more successfully.

True, mother nature will compensate for the changes and the planet will survive.
Unfortunately, the conditions here will change making it less habitable for humans and as a species will decline (we'll take a lot of others with us) and maybe eventually die out.
Global warming (and cooling) has happened before in Earth's history and is natural. The difference now is that we as a species are clever enough to see it is coming and that things we are doing are accelerating the adverse changes.
Unfortunately short term self interest (both personal and global political) prevent us doing the right thing. We say we can afford to be wasteful with polluting energy. Taxing is an attempt to make it so we cannot afford to be as wasteful with energy.
Stop polluting or everyone dies is a no-brainer. Unfortunately, we still need a big stick (Tax) to stop us doing the bad things we are addicted to.

Birdie's quotes are irrelevant. He has chosen them to illustrate his prejudice. The are a vast number of other quotes that could be chosen to support the Global Warming Theory.
The fact is there is a vast body of observation and other evidence that indicates human activity is resulting in an increase in the heat being retained by the planet.

I will be delighted to 'do my bit for the environment' as the saying goes, or 'reduce my carbon footprint' as the nonsensical red-braces-brigade phrase tells us, and I will, as soon as China stops building coall-fired power stations at the rate of one a week!
Individual input such as recycling is futile unless nations do their best to address polution.
Not because of 'global warming', but because it is good for us. The globe has always warmed up and cooled down and always will - but we can avoid poisoning the air, and should do, but that is for governments, not individuals.
The idea of rec-cycling is about as much as use as the boundary signs around the city where I live proclaiming it as a 'nuclear-free zone'. I assume this meant that they didn't allow weapons to be driven along its roads, since the flying enemy nuclear missiles which may be headed here cannot read.

Andy-Hughes I am sick of hearing the trite responses from ignorant fools with no interest in the facts nor changing any of their indulgent wastage of resources.
China is building modern efficient coal fired power plants and closing down old inefficient ones.
They have booming solar and wind energy industries. Indeed the plummeting global price of photovoltaic panels is largely due to Chinese industrial development.
China is also investing heavily in reconstruction of buildings to be far more energy efficient.
