Hello,
It seems as though for all his tirade against scientific consensus, we find a very deep financial interest in keeping things the way they are.

Very astute observation.

Welcome to the Black Vault Hood.

That is the problem with science nowadays isn't it? It's all political, and if it's not political it's financial, or sometimes it's just about getting ones name out there. The scientific community could do with a review of what it means to follow the scientific method IMO.

Conflict of interest=skewed results.

However I do believe he is correct in that Global Warming is simply a political concept, I've not read a lot of non-extrapolated data forming any conclussions supporting that the climate is shifting for the warmer. We had a 3-5 year warm phase, but overall I believe that the planet is in fact growing colder. on average. The geographical north seems to be rising in temperature though.

Hi Hood,


I think your right in that there is a very deep financial interest in keeping things the way they are.


However, the groups for change also have many financial interest in the so called clean green tech aswell.

in short .... dont matter if its a good or bad move, it will still be corrupted.

hay Tairaa ...

Global Warming is simply a political concept,

So then Tairaa if Global Warming is simply a political concept, does that mean that Global cooling is a political concept as well.

Surly you cant have one & not the other.

Sure you can, because I've never seen any non-extrapolated data regarding global warming. Whereas the average temperatures on the planet as a whole have been depreciating, have they not? Over the course of a long period anyway, the last 3-5 years have been pretty warm, last year wasn't so warm though.

It's been cold here for years.

and wet.

Cold and wet? That sucks. Warm and wet is better.

that's a NOT............

temperatures in most places are hotter & Dryer for longer.

Africa ..... Australia .... Asia.

cause & effect.


cooler in 1 place means hotter in another.

when weather pattens move it = chaos.


Remember ....... the last time earths weather pattens changed so much, Australia was still in the
northern hemisphere.
