“I think near-term catastrophic man-made global warming is a hoax, certainly.”

Do you mean it is caused by many thousands of people with a malevolent sense of humour- which would make it a hoax- or do you mean that catastrophic global warming is taking place, but it isn’t man-made or that there is no global warming whatsoever? The last would not involve a hoax but a worldwide conspiracy or delusion on a grand scale.

The reason why governments are not responding as you think they would is probably because even those politicians who are intellectually persuaded by the evidence, like nearly everyone else, cannot adjust their emotions and minds to recognise what is likely to happen in the very near future.

I think near-term catastrophic man-made global warming is a hoax, certainly.

If it wasn’t, why aren’t governments across the world rapidly building nuclear power stations to produce huge quantities of CO2-free energy (instead of playing about with wind turbines and other weather-dependent toys which can only ever be a supplement to fossil-fuel energy, not a replacement), and shooting dead any anti-nuclear protesters who try to stop them?

(Unless governments and business are controlled by monsters who actually want a mass die-off to happen…)

It is certain that there is no upper limit to how much CO2 the atmosphere can contain except the amount of carbon on earth. It is the effect on temperature of the earth that varying amounts of carbon dioxide have that is important. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere appears to correlate very highly with atmospheric temperatures and is higher than it has been for a long time and is growing steadily higher. Equally, water can absorb a lot of CO2. It already does absorb increasing amounts and it is damaging some forms of life in the sea.

And so are surface temperatures on the moons of gas giant planets…

I don’t go in for all this man made global warming nonsense. There was a time when I believed it but, if one looks carefully, then real evidence is scant. It is highly likely that there is an upper limit to how much CO2 the atmosphere can contain. CO2 is soluble in water and it rains a lot on earth.

There is a lot of evidence that the earth;’ atmosphere is getting hotter, whatever the cause.

Man made global warming is a hoax.

If even the most hopeful expectations about the effects of global warning are correct we will have mass immigration or mass extermination or both.

I remember a time when the Green Party wanted to reduce Britain’s population to somewhere between 20 and 30 million. This was seen as a highly controversial move. Some Green Party members even proposed that certain sections of society should be reduced more than others. One such example was that a middle class couple in Surrey should have two children whilst a lower class couple in Sunderland should have none, rather than each couple having one child.

Curbing mass immigration is one thing, but reducing Britain’s population by a third is quite another.

Scratch a Malthusian and you’ll find a genocide advocate underneath…

No, that isn’t a counterargument. I don’t want to see England covered in concrete and tarmac. Why can’t immigrants move to a country where there is more land?
