Ssssssshhhhhh, don't mention Reform.

validates their opinion, making it equal to climate scientists. It doesn't.

Sadly this has been normalised by our media.

We are being led down a dangerous path.

we have mainstream Television channels that are happy to put an experienced climate scientist on to debate against conspiracy theorist or some fossil fuel lobbyist and make it seem like each voice has equal expertise.

 

[Highway Man]

Their opinion is that it's bollax. That doesn't deserve consideration.

I disagree, some points in opposing opinions can be actually missed or disregarded in the face of science.

 

[Highway Man]

Do you believe that man made global warming is happening?

Oh most definately.

 

[Highway Man]

What you actually mean is that people pushing misinformation cry they are being denied a voice if they are challenged.

Sometimes yes.

 

[Mottie]

I fully support debate,

…unless it’s with ficko's. Problem is, you believe everyone on here with a different view to you is a ficko.

 

[MNW67]

Oh most definately.

I do as well.

Although, in my experience, it is unusual to find somebody who believes in man made global warming who also believes that alien fish people built the pyramids with space lasers.

That would be an interesting Venn diagram!

Like what, when it comes to the opposition to man made climate change?

As an example, the ozone layer, there was lots of talks going on about the polar ice caps and the ozone layer that is so thin and fragile with a huge hole in it that couldn't be repaired. Suddenly started to heal.

with a huge hole in it that couldn't be repaired.

I don't remember that being claimed.

 

[Highway Man]

I don't remember that being claimed.

yes well I suppose you don't know everything then

Recovery projections:
Scientists predict that the ozone layer will return to its pre-1980 levels globally by 2040, with the Antarctic ozone hole fully healing by around 2066

The ozone hole healed because we banned the things that caused it!

 

[Highway Man]

Nope the montreal agrrement along with the Kyoto protocol had differing views and opposition from scientists in the early years of the ozone layer depletion talks. These two are the result of those talks

 

[Highway Man]

There were initial disagreements and skepticism surrounding the ozone layer depletion theory, particularly regarding the role of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

 

[MNW67]

Are you now just posting random sentences?

CFCs were banned and the hole healed. It is that simple.
