ORIGINAL: cyberdude611 Coleman spoke at the 2008 International Conference on Climate change along with Lord Christopher Monckton, who was a policy advisor to Margaret Thatcher. Monckton stated to the conference that science will prevail in the end and "the scare of global warming will go away." http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles/2008/20080303175301.aspx I would not believe anyone who was an advisor to Margaret Thatcher as she employed more proven liars than any other Prime Minister I can think of. However, it all comes down to the math and so far no one has managed to plug the hole in the math without adding the figures for human activity. When 95% of the world scientists seem to generally agree that human activity is having a detrimental effect on the climate and a couple of mavericks disagree, as a none scientist I tend towards the opinion of the mass of scientists. Apart from that, when I am sitting outside a bar in a tee shirt in february drinking a beer when ten years ago I would be wrapped up and skating on the canals and when the trees are budding and there are insects around, something tells me something is wrong. It is not just me, people all over the world are reporting strange weather patterns, something the original scaremongerings scientists who put forward the idea of climate change, said would happen some 20 years ago. Now it doesn't seem sensible to me to believe some maverick that it will all go away soon enough if we sit it out, rather than believe all the other scientists that suggest we err on the side of caution and assume it is human activity that is the missing math and we should do something about it. Especially when you look at the despoilation of the planet and our destroying vast areas of important habitat that helps control the climate
