Ha ha Nigel.

A good way to deal with Ians' nonsense, replace his
no-links with a real link to an article written by those who believe in man-made climate change which explains that many Americans fail to realise that the scientific consensus in favour of believing in man-made climate change is over 90%, and which also deals with some attempts to rubbish the idea and dismisses them. The article also explains that some politicians (US Republican ones linked to the fossil fuel industry) have said that a good way to combat public concern about climate change is to convince them that the scientific community is heavily divided on the issue, because if people realised how many scientists believed in it they would be more likely to believe in it too.

Some, of course, go further down the line and just seek to discredit science as a whole. My understanding is that this may be easier in the US because a lot of religious people prefer what a book called 'The Bible' says to what science says on a number of issues.


It cannot be a coincidence that so many people who object on ideological to regulations and controls on big industry and multinationals also seek to argue that stuff like pollution and climate change don't exist.
