Over history, the UK has been a tropical paradise, a semi-desert, a temperate grasslands and an icy wasteland. Similarly, the Mediterranean Sea has rotated between glacier thru sea, to hostile desert, devoid of life. The entire globe has undergone natural climate change since time began, and Scientists know this by looking at rocks, fossils and a hundred other climatic 'indicators' of change.
It's obvious our climate is now changing again - a it does about every 150,000 years since its surface first solidified. Things naturally speed up at the end of each cycle, as has been demonstrated clearly & scientifically but intelligent men with test-tubes & stuff. We may be heading to another ice age, or to something more balmy, and we may have pretty horrible consequences on the way.
However - man's influence on climate change is minimal. Carbon dioxide output from calciferous rocks, which erode naturally, is 10,000 times the total of planetary man-made emissions, and other gases known to cause global warming. Man's influence - even at our ecologically most grim, is a mere fraction of what happens naturally - and is therefore out of our control.
Yet Governments choose to frighten us by telling us tales of our grim future, and use false science to suggest man's 'non-green' lifestyle is killing the entire planet. Several scientific researchers have been caught red handed using invalid and even falsified data, the very data used by the UK Government to 'prove' man's role in climate change.
Venus, our nearest planetary neighbor has never hosted life, of any kind, yet it is the Solar System's biggest & most extreme example of Global Warming. Even though, due to it's distance from the sun, it should be pretty much like earth, it's surface is so hot as to be molten, natural global warming in action, in the extreme, no man involved!
The same government, in fact, that is limiting our lives, demonizing cars & vehicle drivers, charging individuals, businesses & communities literally billions of pounds in extra taxes, charges, changing our life-styles and wrecking the world, on 'evidence' which is scientifically flawed and under-pinned by invalid data.
Is there a connection - man is guilty of effecting climate change, and government's reap millions in extra taxes, as people suffer as they are forced to carry the burden? Call me an old cynic.. but I think so!
