Yet another thing conservative supporters have got right.

As usual, the Government attempts to demonise its opponents. We are not 'climate change deniers' but people who have scientific questions about the validity of the data being used. And yes, I have read all the bloody reports, and checked the raw data that's been published, and I'm a scientist, and I've still got big concerns about the validity of the data.

If this is meant to be a scientific debate, then why won't the CRU answer the criticisms? If it's just a slag-off, then I suggest slagging off this Government is rather like taking candy from babies.

Can we get a cast iron guarantee on that please  
mmm maybe not the torycon's never keep there word anway lolololol

Hardly surprising!  Lefties just love a good do-goodie campaign to make them feel superior without actually giving anything up.

Me, I'm a scientist and I believe in reducing pollution and population (and, if I am the last person to leave the UK, you can trust me to turn off the lights!): most other problems with our planet, real or imaginary, will then sort themselves out over time.  Climate is a moving average and as such it moves!

Just shows how very dim the Tories are!

This was probably an inevitable result of the increasing shrillness of left-wing activists, and the emphasis on "hairshirt energy policies".

The left/right split on this issue has broken cover in Australia, Canada and USA. Cameron won't be able to resist it much longer.

Can someone explain the results of the second table to me?  Why does it show that most members of the 4 groups think climate change should be more of a priority, yet the totals say something completely different?  Surely the only explaination would be a vast weighting to the Tories...or I've misread it.

Someone, anyone, please explain these numbers to me!?

Thanks.

Numbers say one thing, how they are interpreted is a totally different thing - this is how they keep unemployment fogures below 3 million when in fact there are at least a million more people not included as they are on "training"  or "work experience "  courses. They're still unemployed, but put on a different list. This is why you can get two differing "results" from the same set of figures - the spin doctors use different interpretations to suit their agenda. The only way to get the truth is to look at the figures yourself and make up your own mind .

Anyone who believes that the threat of global warming is anything more than a politically motivated scam should read the book by Christopher Booker "The Real Global Warming Disaster" which was published about 2 months ago.  This is a magisterial, minutely researched and referenced, comprehensive analysis of everything that has led to the world being in the position it is today.  It is an absolutely horrifying story of how vested interests can get in the way of real science.
