    Very punny Damian,

    Until the facts get disentangled from the religion, politics and economics there really is no point. Lets just get used to the weather and stop bitching.

    Quite a lucid article in this link on how we've wasted 20 years already in Australia. There was a time when there was widespread consensus on "the greenhouse effect" amongst scientists government and much of industry, you only have to go back to the historical records. Things are swinging around again as I alluded to in this post, but there are still vested interests with myopia, trying to avoid change and get every last buck the can. And you don't think mining companies would trample over just about anything for a buck? From the 60's when Belgium left, to the 90's at least, the Congo had to be one of the sorriest tales of western government and industry influence there has ever been. At various times coups were sponsored by both government and mining industry This video recently surfaced of a Union Miniere spokesperson shortly after the Stanleyville massacres and gives a chilling indication of their moral bankruptcy. You think insidious climate change would bother him? Even that far-right commentator Andrew Bolt has cut ties with one of the 'mainstream' denial movements because of their whacky conspiracy theory.
