"It's been a summer of near Biblical climatic havoc across the planet, with wildfires raging in Russia and floods claiming lives across Asia. But the moment the Petermann glacier cracked - giving birth to the biggest Arctic ice island in half-century - it may symbolise a warming world like no other."
We need to ignore the climate deniers, show them the intellectual contempt they deserve and force change because politicians only listen when they have to.
Nor am I.

as soon as you start quoting bomber, you lose all sense of reality, I'm sorry to sound negitive but he is a plonker and so is the garbage thats spurts forth from his keyboard. He is the modern green man, only he talks garbage!
Call me a climate denier (I'm sure thats not actually a word), I don't mind. I just prefer to base my opinions on different facts, not a carbon guess.
......that should get your keyboard rattling......
Can't take a Bombing, eh Southernright!
Me neither, he's too ott for me but I read between his rants and he has a good nose for wrong-headedness.
You're not one to accept that the climate is becoming de-stabilized and causing grief like that Russia is experiencing now?
I think man's industrialization has produced exactly that and that we are doing too little to avert extreme problems.
What do you say?
There are too many conflicting facts out there. Southernright chooses to believe a set from somewhere - others take theirs from different sources.
We believe what we want to and are driven by personal circumstance. Its hard for someone who works in the farming sector, for an oil company, in the transport industry to embrace a human-induced climate change that threatens the planet. Those industries have an interest in keeping the status quo and may even be investigating the climate change question in order to provide facts of their own.
Even those that do believe climate change is being driven by human activities find it hard to stop driving cars.
You said it anonymous!
The path to understanding the global situation with regard the climate is/has been made, unclear.
My thoughts are that we have been subjected to stalling and misdirecting but that that comes from a shared desire to maintain our levels of comfort. It won't end comfortably, imho, and preparations have to be made on a personal, commmmunity, regional, national and global level. I'm very interested in the developments being seen around the rise of 'everyman's voice', even over minor issues such as the driftwood 'animals' on the estuary at Riverton. I regard this as a very positive sign. I'm thinking also of the mining marches, the Neurology marches, the crossing of the harbour bridge by thousands of cyclists and a whole range of 'grassroot' actions of recent times. Go us!
