Global Warming

[Markone]

The current Global Warming mania is nothing new. As long ago as the 1830’s a book was written entitled “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” which set out even then to debunk such frauds.

Quotes from the author in the quaint language of the period show extremely well that the more things change, the more they stay the same:-

"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one!"

"Of all the offspring of Time, Error is the most ancient, and is so old and familiar an acquaintance, that Truth, when discovered, comes upon most of us like an intruder, and meets the intruder's welcome."

I'm sick about hearing it all.Just another way for those in power to tax us more and to take our minds off other subjects(Iraq etc).

Obviously part of Blairs masterplan, do you know how much CO2 a cow can
produce.....

since we are cooking here

Someone on Radio 4 asked the question that surely volcanoes put out so much gas, anything else is irrelevant. The answer was that actually they churn tons of greenhouse gases and not CO2.

That being the case, surely the amounts in fridges and aerosols are miniscule by comparison
