I am not a prolific poster on here,but I read all the comments on a regular basis & also on TWO. I have to agree with Jethro's observations. The same comments can be made regarding the posts on TWO also. I find it very difficult to understand why the thoughts of pro AGW supporters are considered sacrosanct , and any alternative idea or questioning as uninformed. There obviously is global warming ,and with 60 plus years of experiencing it I can also confirm that there have been periods of cooling.I certainly do not dismiss AGW out of hand,but I dont think this has been proved conclusively nor properly quantified.Surely alternative thoughts to the " accepted"? theory should be considered and not dimissed out of hand, as is happening too often.
