But then someone else has posted this information.

So what are we supposed to believe? I'm not very good at taking orders unless I understand why and currently I am not sure what to believe: the scientists working with the governments who are raising 'green' taxes and looking to make a pretty penny, or the scientists who are independent and don't stand to make anything except the title 'lazy' for not taking action.

Can anybody help me here?

Interesting stuff...

Another consequence of "action" but "global warming is false" is that we end up with a less polluted and more sustainable future. It's not because of global warming that I'm trying to change - I have been on this road for 10 years or more, well before I heard of this threat. I am doing it because I can see that we are messing the planet up - forests are being cut down right now. Landfills are filling up and polluting waterways right now. Industial polluting is destrying habitats right now. Oil has to run out one day - whether it's this year or in 100 years or in 500 years, and we'd better sort out what we're gonna do now.

So my choice has already been made, and I don't have to decide which outcome I want - taking action has to be better all round. Economics aren't everything.

Well said, Magpie.

And I hate watching them anyway - quality is pretty poor most of the time - I wish people would write more rather than film!

So I have no idea what they are on about either.
