<p>Hi Allan</p>
<p>Re: our climate change debate.</p>
<p>Although this article takes what I consider to be an alarmist
view that is intended to create a fear response in its readership
it does agree with some of the conclusions of so called climate
change deniers. The truths:<br>

are looking at a long term trend where we will not see the
effects of our attempts to reduce carbon in our life time so why
all the hypocritical rash action with useless urgency. Wars
create more CO2 emmissions than driving cars. We should be
focused on adapting to a warmer planet if that is what is
actually happening. <br>

mongering about the climate is great for controlling people but
