Global warming

This week there have been a number of scare stories about global warming in the papers, how we are all going to drown because the ice caps are melting etc. As usual it is all a bunch of crap.

These scientists, whose main priority is getting their budgets renewed, tell us about the ice that is melting yet conveniently forget to mention all the places where the ice is getting thicker and expanding. They tell us that the average temperature has risen by 0.7 degrees in the last 100 years (wow) but neglect to tell us that several hundred years ago the average temperature was a much hotter. In Roman times, for instance, the same grape vines that now grow in Southern Italy were growing in the north of England.

Many many scientists, including David Bellamy, have come to the conclusion that global warming is a myth and that the only reason these scientists are still given money to study it is because governments throughout the world are too scared to admit that the trillions of pounds they have spent studying it has been a complete waste of money.

Also, if they were to admit that global warming doesn't exist, then how could they justify taxing us so much for petrol? Personally I hope it does exist and that it gets a move on. I'm sick to death of living in this miserable climate and the sooner it gets warmer the better.
