sorry fascist, too bad the scientific community (ie those who aren't merely corporatist spokes models dressed up like "scientists") don't agree with you. SO when you show me your PhD in climate studies, I'll be apt to believe you. Otherwise, it seems it is you who are the one full of propaganda and ZERO FACTS. Newman is repeating FACTS and you can live in denial all you want. The planet doesn't care. It is resilient. It doesn't need the willfully ignorant human race to survive.

Newman's as perceptive as ever. The real tragedy of global warming here is that he's been re-tasked from doing really eye-watering comedy to politics. Wish the govts would sort the problem so we can have our comedians back!

@anotherblonde we know so little about Mars that it's impossible to say what trends in climate the planet is experiencing, or why changes occur and there is no water let alone ice on Venus as it has all boiled off.

If you're interested in learning more the windows2universe site has some good info.

The ice is melting on Mars and Venus too, perhaps the cause of that is also a cause here on earth. That all species ebb and flow is obvious, even if the dinosaurs thought it could never happen to them. Nature takes it all back in the end, regardless of how careless and mercenary we have been with her bounty. Let's try and live in peace.

A tax on emmisions per head globally could only be enforced by a global authroity of some kind. I never thought Robert Newman might be an advocate for NWO. Bit surprised really.

The world is warming. But as some of you say: so what? It always has warmed up and cooled down, with or without people. True. So ok forget the temperature, how about all the animals and plants we're killing? Don't we care about them? This isn't like trashing our hotel room for fun - there ain't another hotel, for us or our kids.

Rob Newman is still a brilliant man, activist and comedian.

@silverlake77 Yes, and let's be sceptical of the existance of the Sun, because it might get dark tonight. 97% of the scientific community agree on climate change, but yes, you know better being a... what? A janitor?

[priorzola]

@soulcru5h See that 97% of all climate scientists that support that geezer on the bench's opinion, that's called "scientific consensus", that is. That's how scientific facts are established not corporate sponsored denier BS.
