    I'm sceptical too, so who do i trust to give me the right information, men and women who have achieved a high standard of education and have established and even honored careers in the field of climate, or politicians with their own agenda regardless of which political side they come from, or members of industries who have the most to lose should climate change be excepted as absolute, or for that matter members of industries that stand to gain the most.
    It seems according to every opinion i read that nobody is to be trusted, well ok what to do then.
    well i could hedge my bets and make sure i am protected from the worst scenarios while trying not to give up anything in my current lifestyle so long as it doesn't cost much because i can't afford it, i can support new technology in the hope that it might benefit everybody, but see no reason to throw bucketloads of cash at it, especially if it means ultimately a better quality of life and it's a benefit to my environment, i have lived in smog filled cities and won't go back to that filth, i have lived beside highways and wondered about the black dust all over my roof and my washing so not going into that situation again either, i have had to move well out of town to breath clean air and enjoy a night sky filled with millions of stars that can't be seen in the city and i really love being totally independent from the energy and water grids that suck up so much of the hard earned and doesn't need to be spent in the first place, well it does need to be spent, on my kids education and dental and medical care, but at least i have the cash for that now.
    I wonder about those who are against what could be seen as the positive side of climate change, whether we need it or not wouldn't it be nice to live in a world with less pollution and greater investment in new technologies, i think if you love coal fired power stations then you should go live next to one, just like those extremists should go back to the country they come from and fix up their own mess.
