I've been a scientist all my life and there's never such a thing as a 100% scientific consensus. It's pointless to wait until there is one before doing anything about a problem that most scientists agree is urgent, and our fault.
All of this looking for the minority views that support the anti-argument smacks of a) deliberately countering a solid argument for journalistic 'integrity's sake and b) making excuses to carry on the way we are (notice that Jeremy Clarkson's usual knuckle-dragging rant about "leftie loonies trying to stop us having a good time" is linked off this page).
Don't get me wrong - if an equally well evidenced argument could be put forward to disprove the theory that Climate Change is being accelerated by human activity then I'd be willing to accept it. I just don't see it. The media seem restricted to finding the occasional scientist that disagrees with the widely evidenced dogma.
The article cites that one single scientist claimed he was 90% certain he'd achieved nuclear fusion (when he hadn't) many years ago. Does this mean that, by inference, we should therefore mistrust the views of several
hundred scientists? I think not. The author of the article doesn't even mention if the fusion scientist in question had even released any data to support his claims - there is a massive body of evidence that has been poured over for years to show that climate change is being accelerated by our activities.
I could go on but I frankly can't be bothered. Nothing significant will get done about this problem for the simple fact that all governments worldwide are paralysed from making any significant changes to the way that we live our lives for the simple matter that is democracy. What government would politically shoot itself in the foot and enforce such tough restrictive measures? Turkeys don't vote for Christmas and I can't think of how to sugar coat the vote-losing measures that we so badly need. You only have to look at the front of the Daily Mail (or Daily Wail as it should be called) to see the media's frothing-mouth reaction to the relatively tiny, insignificant matter of switching bin collection routines
