    It’s Not Climate Change, It’s ‘Climate Chaos’
    May 19, 2014 – French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, gearing up to host a major U.N. climate conference at the end of next year, wants to start referring to “climate disruption” or “climate chaos” rather than “climate change” – since, he says, “change” can be seen as a positive thing.

    Yeah, back track 30 odd years and they would all have been Moonies. When they were caught out telling lies to garnder donations they excused the lies as "divine deception". Har har har! remember that? Todays agw cultists are not far removed from Moonies or even Hare Krishna's for that matter. Probably closer to Scientologists actually. Maybe I can start a spin off climate doomsday religion and persuade these fools to give me all their money!!!

    LOL, WOW, are you trying to tell us that people with Obsessive compulsive disorder are obsessive, well I learn something every day. They also hate cracks in the pavement.

    I think you have CCDOD. Climate Change Denial Obsessive Disorder. Take two asprin and call me in the morning.

    There is an element of cultism to the AGW following. The AGW hype has all the elements for a lemming stampede.

    'At Least 98, 99% of All Scientists in Our Country’ Believe in Climate Change
    June 18, 2014 – At a time when debate is swirling over the assertion that 97 percent of scientists endorse man-made global warming, Secretary of State John Kerry – a frequent citer of the 97 percent figure – in a speech Wednesday nudged the figure up to “at least 98, 99 percent.”

    Trouble is the 98% figure is actually fraudulent, as has been pointed out over and over again. But that doesn't deter the agw cultists from continuing to use it.

    Follow the money trail. As for percentages. Would be interesting to know the percentage of people, scientologists included, who blindly follow the AGW theory with zero effective personal knowledge of the fledgling science of climatology. How many follow AGW, based on political persuasion, emotional appeal, fear or a natural tendency toward mas hysteria.

    I don`t profess to be a climate expert, so I`m an AGW agnostic, but there are too many aspects of this issue that have all the hallmarks of controlled mass hysteria.

    I am only too happy for you guys to be right, I honestly hope you are right and I am wrong.

    Just answer this.

    If you are right, what damage would be done? But if you are wrong, what could the consequences be?

    You know what is so bloody pathetic about deniers? They will scrounge any pathetic scrap, they will believe absolutely anyone, no mater how vested an interest they have. They will clutch at any straw. All so we can mine the crap out of our forests, turn prime grazing land into desert, spoil our waterways and in particular the great barrier reef. What for ... money, greed, luxury lifestyle.

    You are all sick puppies. Disgusting little money grubbing worms.

They will scrounge any pathetic scrap, they will believe absolutely anyone, no mater how vested an interest they have, they will clutch at any straw, anything or anyone who expresses support for their agw religous beliefs. They cannot think for themselves.

    You have lost the plot, what the hell has that got to do with a belief in agw or not???

    Doesn't it make common-sense - If it was really as bad as they claim, they would certainly be doing more to stop it, then they are. They wouldn't be digging up more dirty coal to burn, sell and pollute - would they? :roflol:

    They would not be destroying our forests, trees, and water - would they? :roflol: They don't have another planet to escape to - do they??? :eekeyes:

    Run, run, run, the sky is falling, but don't forget to pay your carbon tax before you leave so the banks and the UN can stay wealthy off your hard earned money :roflol: :roflol:

    Congratulations you win 2nd prize, now really, who is it that can't think for themselves, admit it, you have no answers of your own, you can't answer that simple question I asked, so you parrot back my question sarcasticallly because you have absolutely nothing, zero, zilch, just your hysterical belief that you know everything. ROFL

    As previously stated, follow the money trail. Above, we see many examples of the hysteria that the AGW high priests have whipped into the gullible. We don`t see a mention of the biggest threat to this planet, human population expansion. Why? Could it be because there is no money in that issue? No opportunity to get sticky fingers on other people`s money? Bearing in mind, that people of the unthinking political equation, who suffer from the "bottomless pit" syndrome, are not mentally calibrated to comprehend the ramifications of simple issues like, mounting debt, they aren`t responsible for doing anything, that`s the responsibility of those "other people".

    For a conservationist to have any credibility, their major focus needs to be the population explosion. The resultant expansion of industrialisation of the developed world has environmental impact, obviously. Expansion of undeveloped population, also impacts negatively on the environment. Over crowding of hunter gatherer communities, unsustainable cottage farming activities, all of this has a negative, and sometimes irreparable impact on the environment.

    The feelgood of self righteous wristflapping and moral posturing, is nothing more than self satisfied narcissism.

    Get real, or get out.

    I think even most children understand that you don't believe a word politicians say, when they tell you, to do as I say, but not as I do.

    It sure does, if you ever post an intelligent comment then maybe I would understand but when you post your self indulgent rot instead of just answering a straight forward reasonable question then I do worry. I am at a total loss as to why intelligent people would rather bury their head in the sand.
