this sums it up

[Robin Hewitt]

Here in the UK the media and politicians seem to have accepted it as Gospel truth so the argument is over.

TGGWS was fun but only served to fill in the blanks for uneducated heretics and enrage the fanatics.

Whether I believe or don't believe on webchat doesn't amount to a hill of beans, both sides have dug in, nobody is going to sway anyone either way.

Positive aspects of global warming in the UK...

1: We may get to build some nice new carbon neutral nuclear power stations. Buying Russian gas and French nuclear electricity means I'm depending on people I don't get to vote for.

2: I'm getting old. Warm seems a lot friendlier than cold.

1: Whatever happened to the proposal for a really long extension cord from Iceland to tap into their abundant hydro power? I don't think I am joking, I seem to recall reading about such a proposal.

2: Don't bank on being warmer; if we have messed with the thermohaline circulation you might go down to the temperature regimes warranted by your latitude....Brrrrrrrrr. At least according to some doomsayers.
