@MegaFlyingcolours, well on the same token: since people who define themselves as 'climate scientists' cannot get a job unless they committed to alarmism - this voids their opinion too.

Thw world may be warming, but the effects and the apocalyptical predictions are grossly exaggerated.

[MegaFlyingcolours]

@LibertyDownUnder I think the 30 000 you mean are the signatories of the infamous Global Warming Petition Project which began life as the 'Oregon Petition'. It was first released in 1998 and was co-published by the EXON-BACKED George C Marshal Institute.

Because the scientists who signed it specified their field of expertise it can be calculated that only 0.5% of signatories had a background of or relevant to climate science.

It is not science it is propaganda.

@LibertyDownUnder I am interested to hear about these 30 000 scientists.  Can you please name 3 which you considered most reputable so I can research them.

[LibertyDownUnder]

@MegaFlyingcolours, there are 30,000 scientists who disagree with climate alarmism. That's not 'very few'. And something being 'peer reviewed' does not excuse it from debate.

Pushing people away from oil & coal will just mean more will turn to uranium which is much worse.

[MegaFlyingcolours]

@LibertyDownUnder All the scientific assertions made in Paul's book are supported by peer-reviewed scientific literature. None of your opinions are.

With 200 years of oil left, that just means that in 400 years humans will have used ALL of a finite resource that nature took millions of years to create. This is unsustainable resource consumption.

Very few climate change skeptics exist (in mainstream conservative politics, much less anywhere else). The scientific literature is unanimous.

this is so true! He makes valid arguments and climate change is so noticeable. and drilling operations are making your habitat hazardous and catch your water on fire. and there are 7 billion people in the world there is no way that we can feed them all. and people starve all the time.

[LibertyDownUnder]

1. Food prices are rising due to excessive regulations on farmers & imports, and too much money being printed. There has been no real increase in droughts when looking at the world's food supply.

2. We have 200 years worth of oil left, we just need the Green movement to stop disrupting drilling operations.

3. The climate is changing SO SLOW that it's barely noticeable.

Sorry Paul, but your whole argument is overblown, way over the top, and in large just plain wrong.
