Since when did weather stay the same??
The weather and climate is constantly changing, always has, always will. That is why it is so easy to market to the gullible as an impending disaster
and get a lot of money in the process of doing it. Don't believe the hype.

cycle?
For the record, CO2 is not a toxic chemical. In fact, it is neccessary for all life on Earth. And secondly, the amount of CO2 pumped out by natural
sources far exceeds our output. So I
do seriously believe that the majority of climate change IS due to natural cycles.
In saying that though, I do know that we are having a negative impact on our environment. Being an avid surfer and snowboarder, I have a deep concern
over the way we treat our environment. But that doesn't mean I have to swallow all the fallacies surrounding AGW.
IMO, there are far, FAR more important issues than a slight increase in trace atmospheric gases. What about deforestation, over fishing, heavy metal
poisoning of water ways, over fertilisation wreaking havoc with natural eco-systems, toxic chemicals and pharmaceuticals in drinking supplies etc
etc.
The problem I have is that the AGW alarmists cry for action will do nothing to stop any of the REAL problems that face humantiy, other than give more
power, wealth and control to the elite that run this world.
