STOP PRESS:

The Earth could easily cope with 30 billion people. 25 trillion cars, 8 zillion coal-fired plants AND NO RAINFOREST.

After all, anything other than self-destruction would be a complete breach of civil liberties, wouldn't it?

Shouldn't they be wearing gloves when handling these ancient and valuable documents?

[FluorideHead]

@roac Oh my, I genuinely love these knee-jerk replies. Hey - if you want Fluoride in your drinking water, and Al Gore making a fortune from Carbon Taxes, that's your problem, not mine. It is of course, laced-up nerds such as yourself that love this Nazi life style garbage. Enjoy it lads!

Science is being attacked by conspiracy theorists and idealogists. Darwin and global warming deniers and the religious amongst our fellow primates do not wish to know the truth because it conflicts with their self opinionated mindset.

REE RINGS DO NOT INDICATE TEMPERATURE CHANGES. This is a major fault in scientists interpretation of data for changes in the worlds temperature over the past 2,000 years. Tree rings are barely affected by temperature change. The two most important factors that affect growth of trees are in fact sunspot activity and the cycle of the moon.

This has been proved many times over the past 100 years, firstly by Edwards and then by Burr and can be read for free in the book BlindedbyScience.co.uk

Some of America’s leading billionaires have met secretly to consider how their wealth could be used to slow the growth of the world’s population and speed up improvements in health and education. They include - David Rockefeller Jr, the patriarch of America’s wealthiest dynasty, Warren Buffett and George Soros, the financiers, Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York, and the media moguls Ted Turner and Oprah Winfrey. They gathered at the home of Sir Paul Nurse on May 5 (The Sunday Times)

@FluorideHead More conspiracy theorist nonsense. Research real scientific facts. Global warming is caused by man made activity. Get real.

@roac7777 I'll just say his nickname fully explains why he's saying what he said =P

[FluorideHead]

@lIlLLinIlI The nickname is a highlighting of the Fluoride in YOUR drinking water. You enjoy it though, you 'yeah, me too!' merchant. Why don't you and roac rent a room for an hour? I'm sure you'll have just tons to bitch about.

[FluorideHead]

Well done the BBC. Yet again you've let show your true agenda for all to see. If you want to know why the public are losing faith in Scientists, AND the BBC, Sir Paul Nurse is a prime example of the cause. He's held secret meetings with the planet's most wealthy and influential people - people who many of us simply do not trust. Next time you want to sell your agenda BBC, don't make your choice of the 'voice of reason' such an obviously dubious character.

I wish these programs were available in the US.

Young Americans are in desperate need of more education.

They are too fascinated with killing games.

@gjsterp I tried recording this program from an internet stream but couldn't do it completely so i'm just watching previews of this online. This seems like a good show; over in America there's PBS with good science docs.

[Imtoold]

Interesting.
