No wonder pollies can manipulate opinions when here are two people, clearly on the same side, getting their knickers in a twist over a question of semantics................

The fact is, is that it IS GLOBAL WARMING... You are the one to have failed to see the point. The GLOBE is warming... there's no arguing that. what you deem to call it is up to you... I'm just stating facts here, not opinion. Global Warming is not a "CROCK", it is the truth. ''Just shut up and read this if you've made it this far"... WTF? Just shut up? yeah right!!! Like I'm just gonna roll over and take it as you say it! I've seen the evidence, and I'm not just about to shut up about it. YOU are the the one who needs to get their facts straight before you go around tellin people what to do. And don't fret.... I'm not worried about you... I'm worried that there are more out there that are LIKE you.

Yes, it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen.

Well, there is some amount of blowing up around this issue, particularly for monetory reasones, but there is a definite element of truth in it. The sad part is no one can be sure about the trends and results of the climate change. For instance noone knows whether the climate change will lead to complete destruction of life on the earth and if so wheter it would be in the next 5 years or 5 million years! One thing is very clear and that is we have done so much harm to the nature in the last 50 to 100 years. Prior to that for millions and billions of years the human life on the earth was mostly within the boundries of the nature and did not influence it much. This must cause some change... only thing we dont know if it will be warming of the globe or cooling leading to the next ice age
