You might have gone even further, and pointed out that the records DO NOT show that “temperatures around the world have risen steadily since 1900...” From 1900 to 1910, they were pretty steady; from 1940 to 1975, they declined slightly, and from 1998 to the present there has been no detectable rise. Perhaps the Environment Agency consider steps to be a form of ramp.<br /><br />You could also have pointed out that CO2 is NOT the main greenhouse gas, water vapour is. Carbon dioxide <i><b>is</b></i> released by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas, but, as the burning of these fuels has risen exponentially, the rise in CO2 has been more or less steady – in other words, the two may not be linked; the principle source of CO2 might be something other than fossil fuels.<br /><br />They are right, in that climate change is inevitable – just as sunrise and sunset are, and summer and winter. There is not much we can do about any of those, other than adapt. The changes in climates have been pretty minimal, when compared with those others mentioned, and the slight rise in temperatures that we have seen since the Little Ice Age have been almost entirely beneficial, so ask yourself: <b>why</b> is the prospect of warming/changing climates being hyped up as such a disastrous occurrence?Radical Rodenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09098158811572687268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893698629458358623.post-24072144509449126462015-08-14T16:53:23.737+01:002015-08-14T16:53:23.737+01:00Another fab post; I haven't thanked you in a w...Another fab post; I haven't thanked you in a while....
