Many other planets are heating up in the solar system too.

I think the whole global warming theory is just that and it has been a presumption that has been subverted as a way to make more money through carbon taxes and I believe that the polar ice caps are melting because the sun is melting them just as the sun is heating up mars all the way out to Pluto.

Fluctuations in solar activity could be the reason why the earth is undergoing climate change and I do not subscribe to the theory that it is human kind that is wholly to blame for it.

Sure we are probably contributing but I sincerely doubt that we are the major cause and I also think the PTB are aware of this. Either they jumped on the early theories that pointed to it being humankinds fault and now cannot back down because they will look foolish or perhaps they can see money making angles here through the implementation of carbon taxes?

I am not stupid, I have no doubt that greenhouse gasses are playing a part but I think they are nowhere near as being the primary cause as we are led to believe.

I put global warming down to cyclical solar fluctuations and the government are just using it to gain more taxes.

Governments pushing carbon tax policies should be taken out back and spanked (with a howitzer).

Double fail for the BBC then. They have been the government mouthpiece first for global warming, then for climate change since this whole scam started.

Then like a bolt of lightening, 2 admissions in one article. First that everything they have been telling us for the last 11 years about rising temperatures etcetera has all been a lie as there has been no rise in those 11 years. Second that carbon dioxide has no causal effect on global mean temperature. Basically everything a lot of us have said ever since we vomited during An Inconvenient Truth.

Though there was the typical BBC WTF moment when the author suggests there is no evidence that the earth has natural cycles of warming and cooling. "The Skeptics Argument".

Ice Age Denial, it ain't cool. (no pun intended)
