Earth Story - BBC documentary - an 8 episode series , that was shown on the history chanel a few years ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIuoNtRBG4w&index=6&list=PL0v0-PLUoiqflFqBMDm9qW2wZFz7fX541

episode called -  the big freeze

I absolutely believe in climate change, i just don't think man is doing it.
watch the whole show if you can, the full episode - please remember this is the BBC.
In it - it states that the temperature 70 million years ago was 15 degrees hotter than now. since then the temperatures have plummeted to the ice age. Basically we were an ice planet - only in the last 8,000 years has the climate stabilized enough for man to thrive. Going from miniscule numbers to Billions. Agrarian society emerging.
it tells you most of Europe was under 4 kilometres thick ice? 4000 metres?
the geoligist tells you that the climate can shift in one lifetime. that the climate went back and forth 20 times in 60,000 years. .

I'm for getting the polluters for pollution, not carbon footprint manipulation?
I see this as a way of shifting blame for pollution from the manufacturers to the consumer - a guilt trip.

If you reply without watching the BBC show, yer a crumb. the BBC is a top man made climate change source that won't give a differing opinion ? it seems they missed their own man doing a job on them.?

Climate change is real,  we are producing way too much CO2, it may already be too late

I'm of a similar view, I absolutely believe in climate change but I'm less and less convinced that we are entirely to blame.

The lady in this clip explains it very well

Watch it from the start. Her basic argument is that science does not proceed by consensus, it is not democratic. Her logical argument of course does not go down well with the enviro-friendly student Laugh

Climate change is REAL - It's REAL - it always was real - the trouble is the whole of our history is in the nice reprieve we've had from brutal nature.

4 kilometres of ice - try growing crops on that.

watch the episode instead of fame academy or jungle tests.

I'm still confused, must have been all that acid rain that's disappeared that's confused me.

But don't like this new global warming ... it's been absolutely freezing since early Nov here in the Midlands.

Once saw David Milliband when he was Lab environment minister doing a piece on BBC news, telling us it would be getting very hot and dry, and that we wouldn't be able to have lawns any more and would have to start planting Mediterranean plants in our garden.

Cue floods and wettest winters ever.

Now we can't have brown toast.

Meanwhile, scientist on a far away planet ...

please watch the episode of earth watch - people are looking at such tiny amounts of one degree wobbling around?

rain and sun in a year are seasons. comparing each day against the next is meaningless.

It was 17 degrees hotter and the lumbering dinos and giant dragonflys were jumping about?

So we lose coasts somewhere and make gains elsewhere - this has been going on for the whole planet's history.
