Change.ie - some comments

Re: Carbon foolprint

Before y'all go jumpin the gun i'd just like to point out that i'm no tree hugger.

There is no proven link between man generated CO2 emissions and climate change. I am sick of this nonsense and Frank McDonald ( History and Politics degree) in The Irish Tripe. The most significant greenhouse gas is Water (H20) two thirds of the planet is covered by it. Change.ie site is very carefully worded and does not actually say that there is a link between man's activity and global warming, unlike the TV ad last night which was factually wrong.

Just rang the guy in change.ie, ah jaysus felt sorry for the eijit. He hadn't a clue, he thought science was all about having a good argument and persuading people, facts were there alright but they wern't as important as debate. I complained that the ad last night was misleading as it said that there is a direct link between climate change and mans activity which is wrong.

That is an interesting one - do you have an entitlement to believe fiction is fact ? - probably yes - but you have no entitlement to mislead people, especially stupid and ignorant people.

Thinking people always question consensus. Sometimes consensus is right, sometimes it is wrong, sometimes we don't know whether it is right or wrong. I am saying that we don't know whether consensus is right or wrong in the case of the proposed link between global warming and mans activity, because is not proven. To say it is a fact is wrong, that is not saying there is no link, I am saying there is no proven link and I am not wrong when I say this. I have read all the IPCC reports on climate change, they refer vaguely to a likelyhood. Perhaps you could give me a source that proves the link.

There is no need to be surprised when I used the word "vaguely" because the IPCC findings are not unequivocal.
