Climate change: Skeptics turn the heat on IPCC report

The fight against climate Change appears to be losing momentum. A new poll carried in Britain reveals that a growing number of people are sceptical about global warming. It found around 26 per cent, a rise of 10 per cent in just three months - do not believe the world is getting hotter. And as Pamela Asigi reports, environmental experts fear that these latest figures could jeopardize efforts to tame global warning.

The story of the Emperors New Clothes,comes to mind.

But we all know he's naked, but still choose to go along with the lie?

there is climate change but the question is whether man alone is responsible. Mr odhiambo we know you wouldn't have a job without this problem. then why did the scientists at Uni of East Anglia doctor their results..eh?

High school biology teaches that says green plants evolved 650,000,000 years ago carbon dioxide can only rise in an ice-age. More available carbon dioxide, more life on earth. Not more carbon dioxide in the air. Global warming is fiction funded by nuclear power. The IPCC their paid stooges. And

Of course, this is the funy part of this global warming scepticism. What´s the matter if we are wrong? We end up with a sustainable, eco friendly energy production...

Its the lack of retardation, and more of the human curiosity.

Even if it is false. We should still try and find a way to prevent pollution. Should we not?

@jefhd It is pointless to argue against those who lack education in the sciences. To exact any change in the public attitude toward climate change then you must take your argument to people who have the ability to influence policy or start your own local movement. As with any major scientific revelation there will always be a significant opposition because people are inherently habitual. In other words they don't readily accept change. You have accepted reality, that's step 1.

mate what can I say the whole world is not really running on fossil fuel its running on bullshit

[critchley3819]

My friend spot on If there is climate change its all caused by the big boss and thats theSUN and no matter what us poor dumb people (thats what our leaders think we are) do there is not a thing we can do about it , this has happend before and it will get colder again then they will put a tax on warm clothes

Any of these eminent climate change advocates predicted the recent earthquake in Haiti?

[vancarbus]

I think, if you look back about 30-40 yrs, all the so called scientists then, were predicting an ice age. No one know whats happening. The climate is to chaotic, with many element affecting the out come. You've got , the gulf stream, volcanoes, continental drift., precession of the earth, jet stream, the sun, and many more, to tired to think any more. I let other people add to that
