Personally, I think this climate change due to man is nothing but political hogwash. Have you noticed how those who are active in the anti warming crusade all seem to be doing well both financially and politicaly. What they, the wealthy people can do to save the planet, is a whole lot different from the common man who is just trying to survive in the cruel world created by the wealthy and powerful.
It irritated the hell out of me recently, my city again hosting the international fireworks competition, and it a quarter of a mile from me, all that chemical detonated in the air, thousand of pounds worth of explosive. Explosive which I understand was limited this year due to the Chinese restrictions on the export of fireworks due to the Olympics. Then we have bonfire night, all that burning of wood and again more fireworks. The day after, the smell in the air is the acrid smell of cordite every time.
Motorists are crucified financially for the pollution from their car exhausts, yet we allow fireworks, and bonfires, not to mention all the munitions detonated in the various wars we have become embroiled in.
China was told they had the Olympics on conditions, well, it is my thought, the Chinese rulers when told this had their fingers crossed behind their back, bigger fool the rest of the world. China will dominate the world and it will not let puny attempts by the west to halt it's rise.
There is much to be said about the saying, ''Where there is muck, there is brass''
