@ludocrat I owe you an apology for calling you a name caller. Unusually for a sceptic you are patronising as well. Your hubris does you credit as it exceeds the normal dross we have to put up with for daring to have a different opinion.

Scientists "...in the climate field of research" eh? Interesting qualifier (and unusually accurate for an alarmist). Well, they would wouldn't they? Given the fact that they invented the nonsense in the first place. As for you, "surly" is definitely the right word. Although I would add "brainwashed" and even "incoherent". But not dangerous - I don't think you people are dangerous any more because you've been comprehensively found out. Including the air miles-addicted Moonbat.

respect. love the arrest attempt. a real human nowadays, should be heralded.

Surly the name calling and insults of the sceptics just go to show how shallow their arguments are and that they only have insults and not facts to throw around. More than 99% of scientists in the climate field of research believe in global warming which is stronger than the HIV - AIDS and the smoking and lung cancer science, yet we go with that without question becuse the evidence is still so strong. The truth is that the sceptics have nothing. Nothing, well except their name calling.

This is the bitterest pill as far as I'm concerned

Unbelievable. Disgusting nwo Fabian crypto communist liar!

[TroyaE117]

Well, well.

Love miles don't apply to Monbiot, do they?

Not for him is the pull of the moral compass.

[justcallmetheKING]

at least he's exploring realistic options/solutions as a human race... there will come a time when humans influence climate change at a frightening magnitude; before that time comes, his book will provide some guidance for us to prevent catastrophe. at

also, this topic isn't just engineering related. much more is involved, such as politics and economics. so when it comes to technical details, give him a break.

[justcallmetheKING]

no other alternatives? especially when he has to be somewhere on schedule?
