AJW is a self admitted Marxist. His post mirrors his politics. Global Warming to him is a politicall issue.

Marxists hate capitalism, the military, the police etc. Are you an exception AJW?

Lets say I dont believe, so I dont pay road tax and get a discount on everything I buy! Can you imagine that? - WOW.
That is an AWESOME idea. Let's carry it even further. If I don't believe in education, I don't have to pay taxes for that. If I don't believe in war, I don't have to pay taxes for the military. If I don't believe it's a good idea to travel, I don't pay taxes for roads. That is friggin brilliant.

I even have a few good examples of countries that are run that way.

Somalia

Afghanistan

Those places must be friggin AWESOME!!!

You obviously missed my point David.

Anyway back to Glaciers.

Ok then so all the glaciers are melting. Much of the North of Britian used to be covered in snow and ice a long time ago - upto 1km thick! When the world population was small. How come when the world population was so small compared to now this ice and snow was already in retreat?

There are lots of natural reasons for warm and cold periods. There are changes in solar activity, there is volcanic activity, and there are also changes in sea currents. Right now the heating appears to be the result of humans. At least that's what the scientists are saying.

No, I got your point exactly. You don't want to pay for things you don't believe in. To which I say, move your @ss to Somalia.

I agree with this first half, these are all good ideas.

I don't speak the language. You should at least speak the language of the country you move to its only respectful. Besides, I get sun burned easily.

Right... just like the "relevant section of the scientific community" from four decades ago was convinced that same thing about global cooling.

But none are happening at the moment. The driving force at the moment appears to be the result of huge amounts of CO2 being released into the atmosphere. Do you have any idea who, or what, might be doing that right now?

I hate to break it to you, but Time magazine articles are rarely printed in scientific journals.

Speaking of overwhelming scientific consesus, it wasn't long ago that the overwhelming scientific consensus was that plate tectonics was nonsense.

What is lacking in the global warming debate is data, plain and simple.
