Being sceptical about climate change is not unreasonable, doing nothing about it is reckless

This is a science documentary. The scientists featured in it are all active in their respective fields (collecting data, publishing, etc.). If you think they are wrong, all you have to do is get your views published in a forum that requires more than a click on a 'Submit' button: the science literature. Good luck with that, yootoobers.

What a load of hot air...

LOL, so in otherwords global dimming counteracts global warming. Nice, no need for action and a good explanation for why we havent seen global warming in 15 years.

[Jonathan Thomason]

Green plants metabolise carbon dioxide. No rise of low level of this gas in the air is possible

The BBC have bigged up Global warming to such an extent that energy costs have trebled in just a few years, are they working for the energy companies to give them an excuse to put up prices!!! And just like petrol the price always goes up but never comes down and of course the Government gets it's cut and the people of Britain suffer especially the elderly.

Remember pictures of empty reservoirs, no water, the climate hotter than Spain etc etc etc!!!

xchopp, How old are you?

@13andincradiblycutt I repeat: 97% of credible scientists think that the +ve radiative forcing of CO2, CH4, CFCs, HFCs and other man-made gases is enough to overwhelm the -ve forcing from aerosols and clouds, although the latter is far from negligible (the subject of the documentary). If that is not enough for you, well, then what would be? You are the one lacking in skepticism; you are the one who has to justify their position here. P.S. The word logic does not require scare quotes.

@13andincradiblycutt You do not know that I am not a scientist -- but you should know that 97% of credible living qualified and active scientists (those who are performing research and publishing in peer-reviewed science journals) disagree with you and the late Dr. Bryson. Did you watch the documentary?

@13andincradiblycutt I can tell you that 97% of scientists think that the +ve radiative forcing of CO2, CH4, CFCs, HFCs and other man-made gases is enough to overwhelm the -ve forcing from aerosols and clouds, although the latter is far from negligible (the subject of the documentary). If that is not enough for you, well, then what would be?
