G'day Marc,

I have not read the first post yet (only your quote) but am replying to you
off list as I think your response in this case is a bit personal and harsh
(But I welcome your other contributions!). I realise it is easy to fire off
an e-mail without fully realising the implications, or audience.

In our local weather there are long term trends of higher temperatures and
lower rainfall, so I am fairly sure the climate is changing. Modelling shows
that nature on its own would not have caused this, so I am fairly sure that
man is contributing.

But my real argument is that "climate change" is a distracting symptom and
the real need is to rapidly reduce our use of "natural" resources like
fossil fuels and minerals while we still have the option so that our
grandchildren will have the means to exist. If we don't slow down our
"Growth" there will a catastrophe that makes the Global Financial Crisis
pale into insignificance.

All the best,
HOOROO

An invitation to mental masturbation.

Manmade global warming is a lie. The liars have been caught lying. Get 
over it. There are plenty of real problems in desperate need of the kind 
of focus this message is intended to elicit.
