Somebody should inform the climate change protesters that all our weather patterns and temperature changes are due to solar activity . I don't think there is anything we can do to influence the Sun . However , th at's not to be confused with pollution which is solely down to mankind and is a major world problem to be solved.

Shut up you IMBECILE and stay on topic. We're doing a poll on Jerry later.

These guys may well be right but I always worry when people quote scientists.

We’ve been told, via scientific evidence to switch to diesel cars, then move away from same. Don’t eat butter, do eat butter, don’t eat eggs, do eat eggs, sugar is good, sugar is bad, etc you get the gist. I have little doubt with a little research, which frankly I can’t be arsed to do, I could uncover endless examples where science moves on and with different conclusions.

Sometimes there is a belief and amazingly the findings support their belief. The sugar scientist is a case in point, extolling the virtues of the product. Turns out he worked for the industry.

You don't understand science. Just admit it. We won't think any more badly of you than we do already. Which to be fair is pretty bad.

I understand our scientific knowledge is continuing to evolve and what we believe today to be true may well not be the case tomorrow. Science can prove most things if they want to, even that you are smart, but then again I’m sure other scientists could prove you are not.

The world is full of experts who opinions differ from other experts.

I get that a-holes like Trump will deny it because it doesn't fit in with his political aims but for the majority, who have nothing to gain, just how thick do you need to be to rubbish the solid evidence.

Is it being thick - or is it just "seeing both sides" - see post above yours !

It's a bit like saying that you've got a 50% chance of winning the lottery, because either you win or you don't. Some people never tire of showing just how daft they are - so often in the name of showing how open they are to alternative views (however stupid those alternative views might be!)

I think we're way past the "seeing both sides" of the argument period. For me, anyone who currently denies climate change is a) a complete moron b) someone who will personally gain from impeding changes to slow down the damage being done (also a moron) c) a contrary knob (and a moron) who just loves being contradictory for the sake of it - we have more than our fair share on here.
