Global warming never was. Even now they call it climate change in an atempt to cover for the fact it was all bollox it is still a con.
The climate may change but its nothing to do with mankind, its called evolution and the planet has been doing it since the big bang.
Of course it is far easier to rob the public blind with environmental legislation than think up real reason for taxation. it has simply been used as a cash cow by government.

Now science is starting to admit its screwed up I can't see taxes being reduced as a result. Perhaps it may become a little easier to generate electricity once it is properly debunked.

Good. Thankfully I've ripped the catalytic converters off my massive V8 to give it even more power. I'm going to de tune it slightly so it chucks out even more CO2. Luckily it already produces enough CO2 to fill an entire solar system. I'll then strap a couple of Foxes to the exhausts just to piss the animal rights freaks off.

I asked one of my friends who fancies himself to be a proponent of the global-warming/climate-change/etc crowd, "Well, how high will the sea rise if the icecaps melt?" whereupon he quoth "At least 6 inches!"

Well, that's me frightened then... :D

I told him that as the Romans at one time grew grapevines on "that nice south-facing wall built by Hadrian" to get back to me when the Northerners started producing wine again. Until then, the govt can fack off with their taxes.

We've hammered this to death on previous threads on ARRSE. Those who don't believe never will. Either way, a single report in a newspaper doesn't mean that climate change is debunked... As a single cool (or warm) year doesn't mean that climate has changed, this is simply called weather.

Sorry to be a pedantic tw@, but changes in the earth's climate are not evolution (although climatic shifts can lead to evolution).

Bloke down the pub might not be the best source of info. By the 2080s cockneys might need to think about moving upstairs during the winter, as UKCIP02 (see here) suggest increases of ca. 70 cm under the high emissions scenario...

Not that I've met him, but I think that the Big Man (God) was a bit cleverer than the average human being, and all eventualities were accounted for. And us humans being a bunch of cnuts with his planet was well within his long term business plan for planet earth.

However, I just wish that he could do something with our Mr Brown...

You are right, it has been done to death repeatedly, however science still refuses to take into account that this planets weather has been constantly on the change throughout its history.
Whichever way it is painted there is no evidence to support global warming, so little infact that we have now changed its name to climate change to cover a few more bases.
There is also no evidence to suggest that mankind has any impact on the weather at all. There is a lot of supposition, largely supported by those with a vested interest, but no conclusive evidence at all.

Fcuking excellent excuse for Raising bulls-it Taxes though.

Global Precession affects Temperature as the Earth tilts on its axis and lists to and from the sun over a period of time, also, we have only been keeping records of weather for a couple of hundred years, the Earth is millions of years old and has gone through many "ice Ages" and periods of increased temperature. Seems like blaming Co2 is a nice little earner for governments.

And its worked, as using a car is now classed as a henious crime.

Never mind the fact that a cow farts and burps more methane a day than a Land Rover produces Carbon Monoxide. But still they beleive every word that our government speils.
