i'll admit i was a serious man-made climate change or GW sceptic for a long time, but now i would class myself a fence sitter or agnostic even, and i get a sense we are in the majority? thesedays.

one thing the sceptic in me finds hard to get past, is to my mind and perception, of all the climate change whistle blower's the many earth scientists from NASA are the heavyweights in the pro GW camp for credibility. I mean what do they hope to gain from it? its hard to imagine they are working for the nuke plant people, who have the most to gain of anybody really, sat pics dont lie, is the glacier that supplies the ganges suddenly replenished? have all these glaciers suddenly restored to their former glory? how does that fit in with the charts?

anyway it is well proven that particulate pollution stops/hinders rainfall in those areas under it, that isnt rocket science for a start, so pollution does matter just from that alone.

and anyone that doesnt believe the sudden dramatic urbanisation/and western-like consumption of more than 2 billion people, and more to follow in africa and elsewhere eventually, and its affect on the planet and how in the long term, sustainable that is enviromentally, should be maybe concerned about the long term future or even short term of the entire planet in some way?

i say build the damn newk power plants now, and shut them up, or otherwise get used to Earth MOONTH every second month thats your choice!
or we could just turn tassie into one giant series of hydro electric power dams - thats my plan
