Seriously, you ought to go and read up on this stuff before you
shoot
your
mouth off again. It is a serious topic.

I have done.

Well, keep it up, old chap. Read more widely though...

Have you ever done anything on environmental protection? Maybe
you might like to publish your credentials.

Nope. I won't ask if you have because if you had you would surely know
better....

In that case you forfeit the right to comment further, since you have had
access to my qualifications since this started. I have answered every
question correctly, and received a string of snide remarks from someone
who
is obviously afraid to reveal himself. Anyone with experience of the
subject
would have been able to do far better.

Stop blustering Terry!

Your qualifications are not the issue here.

Denying the strong possibility that human activity has and will have a major
effect on the Earth's climate is a minority view, almost putting you with
the holocaust deniers in my view. Let's call the position you are taking the
Global Warming Denial position.

The reference you provided contradicted the spin you were trying to put on
it! Far from you 'answering every question correctly', you have made rather
a fool of yourself so far. There are certainly many sites available to help
the GWD believers continue their self-serving beliefs. However it is a fact
that most climate scientists do not take this view, whatever acquaintances
of yours may say or believe. I am not foolish enough to think that my
Chemistry degree gives me any special right to be right here. But FWIW I
think the GW hypothesis is fairly safe; perhaps you should ask the people of
Boscastle what they think!

will give you a balanced grounding in recent climate research.

Read it, (properly!) and then come back if you want to discuss global
warming further. It is a serious topic and deserves proper research. It will
affect the future of trains in this country in many ways; but of course that
is the least of what it will do.

Denial will not help you in the long term.
