Muso - just because a person isn't convinced with either argument - it doesn't stop sensible people from wanting to clean up this planet. We want to find ways to feed the world and keep them healthy for generations to come, but both arguments are pathetic. The denialists are just as bad as the alarmists.

We've got to be practical, which is something our governments past and present have forgotten how to be.

Making a global policy to lower the world's temperature by 2 degrees is seriously pathetic. How would we ever know if we reached that goal if data is only taken over such a short period of time?

Oh no Bozo I find your alarmist spin on everything booooring or perhaps boorish is a better word for it.

You know that comment was in reference to a "graphic" extrapolation and guess what... if you'd bothered to look anywhere except at alarmist literature you'd see that comment although an exaggeration (and clearly such - pedant) is correct right up until the IPCC graphic predictions it is talking about.

Mantra... since I'm not a denialist... I expect honesty and a lack of hypocrisy in debate... all of which the alarmist BOZO lacks. And once again you show that your attitude is more balanced (and closer to mine) than that Bozos will ever be.

Mantra,

I'm trying to put together a reasonably non-technical explanation of the science behind it on a separate sticky thread. You actually gave me the idea of doing that. In that thread, I'll explain the significance of that 2 degress C rise.

Please bear with me. There is an enormous amount of disinformation out there. You're better to stick to sites such as CSIRO:
http://www.csiro.au/science/Climate-Change.html

or the Bureau of Meteorology:

http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/change/

in the meantime.

Grendel my preciousssss,

I knowsss you doesn't like thessse nasssty alarmisssst sites that these nasssty scientisssssts puts out (no we doessssn't), but Mantra is at least interested in getting a balanced view.

Your cool friendz and their "rad Climate sitez" just don't make the grade.
