Why are you lot so desperatly trying to attack the people in the programme, rather than what they actually said?

Its a really bad way of constructing a proper argument - ad hominem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

Secondly, you have pointed out a few graphs from the program, and, because a date is not where it needs to be, have dismissed the entire idea. Considering the graphs where only there to make a visual point, and was not intended to be the full reason why global warming is happening - I think you lot seemed to have missed a point.

I've noticed how no one has commented on some of the other points raised in the show. The number of people who's livelihoods depend on global warming as it is currently being presented. thousands of jobs have been created by this industry - and it is almost all funded by governments. Seems to me that if it turns out not to be true, the tax payer is going to be looking for some serious answers.

No one has mentioned how the IPCC got close to a legal dispute before finally removing one of the lead authors names from the list.

Seems to me that there is a lot of negative thinking on this forum. People unwilling to believe that there is another reason to why it is getting a little warmer. The worst suggestion for these posters is it might not have anything at all to do with man. Which leads to a suggestion that in the great scheme of things means man is irrelevant - and what a smack in the ego that would be?!
