riding in a CC summer

I fully believe in climate change just not the "factual" data that "proves" man is totally responsible or even has an impact. We pollute, sure and that is easy too see. Over millions of years this planet, its temperature, sea levels, gas volumes etc etc etc have all been wildly different, ice ages come and go. So many people have lost their critical thinking in favour of joining in with the latest "thing". A great contribution to understanding the worlds history is by the Australian Professor, Ian Plimer in his book "Not for Greens". Absolutely brilliant read with a foreword from the co-founder of Greenpeace.

Take this one tiny snippet from the book which provides lots of data points. "In the past the climate changed between cold and warm periods every 41,000 years. About 1 million years ago a 100,000 year cycle commenced. This involved, on average a 90,000 year cold glacial period followed by a 10,000 year warm interglacial period. We are currently 10,500 years into a warm interglacial period that peaked around 6,000 years ago. In the period from 12,000 to 6,000 years ago sea level rose about 130m at an average of two centimetres a year. Global temperatures have decreased about 2 deg Centigrade and sea level has fallen nearly two metres since the 6,000 year interglacial peak."
