Of course, cognitive dissonance will play a role here; the reason for such stats could not be because the counter argument is unfounded and unrealistic with what we know and understand of chemistry and the physical world, instead there is a global conspiracy out to undermine the "truth"
It strikes me as interesting how PopTech is able to have such a lengthy list of "quality" literature to the contrary...
This is why it’s so important to pay close attention to Lord Monckton? He might get lost in the crowd of people who think that climates really could be changing?
Quite. eg http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/dec/07/doha-climate-talks-ukip-lord-monckton but what I’m wondering is, how’s his mental health? Being a climate-change sceptic is daft, in my opinion, but impersonating a delegate at a political party conference isn’t just daft. It sounds to me like a psychotic episode. I hope he’s getting good care.
Living in a place where the weather maps had to incorporate 2 new colours (pink and purple) to show a degree of heat previously unfathomable (50C+) is a most disturbing thing to have to contemplate…even in Tasmania, the home of the beige 20 something summer temperatures we are experiencing heat waves, dry conditions and multiple bushfires…this piece has nothing to do with temperature and everything to do with science being given its rightful place in mainstream society rather than co-opted by big business…science belongs to the people! If you hadn’t read it, I thought that it might be something that you were interested in.

Yes the news about your Aussie bushfires is terrifying. There was a piece on the telly about sheep having no grass to eat after it had been burned away.
Thank you for that link. I hope to find time to read it.
