The author also needs to discuss and explain some non-science issue. Why has the IPCC pulled its main graph from its 2001 report. The infamous ‘hockey stick’. Do your own research. How come How come the 30,000 scientists who have signed the ’skeptics petition’ are never mentioned by most of the media? How come the global cooling over the last 9 years is never mentioned? It is interesting how in the stolen emails it is discussed. They wanted to hide it. Go read for your self. If you can read computer code go and see how the programmer fudged the data. It is all there. How come some much ‘raw data’ was lost. Scientists don’t loose raw data.

BBC:

{Negotiations at the UN climate summit have been suspended after the African group withdrew co-operation.

African delegations were angry at what they saw as moves by the Danish host government to sideline talks on more emission cuts under the Kyoto Protocol.

As news spread around the conference centre, about 200 activists responded with chants of “We stand with Africa – Kyoto targets now”}

Typical.

Between the “Climategate” leaks, and another set of leaks about how developed countries planned to screw over developing ones, the whole thing was doomed from the start. And even without those snags, it was all talk.

There’s no way all the countries in the world can come together and unilaterally slow down their economies for something as vague as climate change, potentially a century off. That’s the bottomline.

If climate change is going to cause us harm then that might be a problem but it might also be unavoidable.

To be civilized suggests we live in a 20`C medium humidity environment with lots of electronic gadgets and endlessly debate the pros and cons of civilization.

I wonder if we are living in a dream created by lazy simplistic attitudes brought about by our forebears, who brought us to safety but did not give us the skills to live within the limits of a safe place.

Are we doing the same to our next generations? It is obvious that future generations will have to undo some of the damage that living in such a free world has allowed to occur. Especially if the human race is to live in harmony with nature as we need to. For nature will behave as it must.

It is a shame that the planet become a victim for our struggle for civilization. And it will become a patient there is no doubt about that. We not only need the planet fit and healthy for the next generations, we need it for fit and healthy for now.

The reality is the problem is with us the humans not with the planet. What is happening to the planet is in the nature of things. We want, and only we can influence the change we want. First we need to work out what we want? For that we need to know what is available. For that Humans must start to be honest.
