CO2 supports life - no effect on the weather. THagt is a lie from nuclear power

[GreenpeaceUK]

@JonThm Good to have you back Jon. Your dogged insistence that Greenpeace is pro-nuclear power (even though we consistently and publicly oppose it) is a refreshing, if a little confusing, break from reality. Hope you will be feeling better soon!

The video begins with, "Someone at work told nme that 300,00 peopel die each year from Global Warming, and I was shocked". Notice she didn't ask for proof... she just beleived this factoid with no evidence whatsoever.

[GreenpeaceUK]

@Marcus1947 hey marcus, for your information that 300,000 figure comes from a recent World Health Organisation (part of the UN) report. So no, she didn't "just make it up", Ok?

@jjwesley2525 Wow, thanks for the heads up JJ, I was beginning to worry there for a while. Now your bold factless assertion that 'there is no climate change' has reassured me completely.

Now all you have to do is convince the scientists; in 2007 the IPCC released a report from 800 scientifically accredited authors, with 2500 scientifically accredited unaffiliated peer reviewers from 130 countries, who estimated a "90% certainty that global warming is real, and caused by human pollution."

Well done..so few people are wiling to take action..they deserve an award! Wish I was there. Time the politicians really listened and like you said we've done the petitions, etc In Cardiff Fib Dems & Plaid Cymru insist on building a new BRIDGE and ROAD into a listed park for ARTICULATED lorries! Insist on incineration as answer to waste probs!

WAKE UP before its too late! Stop whinging about allowances.

Man's CO2 boosts life on Earth - no effect on weather!

[JonThm]

@GreenpeaceUK I like life. Almost as much as plants love CO2, which is why there has onyl been 0.0002% in the air for the last 200 years. No GW. No CC

[JonThm]

I was active with Greenperace at university. They have gone so wrong!

[JonThm]

CC is nuclear fiction, as the world cvooeld from 2005

[JonThm]

Nuclear power kills: The sun makes teh climate, not man!

[Wilmersdorfer2010]

Well done, Greenpeace! Keep up the pressure on British politicians until they finally develop the courage to take meaningful, systematic, long-term action against global warming. And some lobbying to change your electoral system wouldn't go astray (a single, very lonely member of the Greens in the House of Commons!?).

@TesterofIcicles it also includes people who just don't want to believe because the thought of going a tiny bit out of their way to stop everyone on the planet including their own descendants from dying horribly is just all too much for them.
