The other view on global warming
by Professor David Bellamy. Find the full text here
Whatever the experts say about the howling gales, thunder and lightning we've had over the past two days, of one thing we can be certain. Someone, somewhere - and there is every chance it will be a politician or an environmentalist - will blame the weather on global warming.
But they will be 100 per cent wrong. Global warming - at least the modern nightmare version - is a myth. I am sure of it and so are a growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that the world's politicians and policy makers are not.
Instead, they have an unshakeable in what has, unfortunately, become one of the central credos of the environmental movement. Humans burn fossil fuels, which release increased levels of carbon dioxide - the principal so-called greenhouse gas - into the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to heat up.
They say this is global warming: I say this is poppycock. Unfortunately, for the time being, it is their view that prevails.
As a result of their ignorance, the world's economy may be about to divert billions, nay trillions of pounds, dollars and roubles into solving a problem that actually doesn't exist. The waste of economic resources is incalculable and tragic.

Businessmen have always found ways to make money and generate wealth. Don't think that asking them to keep check on their pollution will stop them. Glaring example is Carbon Credit. This is doing business of less pollution ! People winning Nobel Prizes for working on this awareness, http://usanewstoday.blogspot.com/2007/10/nobel-peace-prize-un-climate-panel-al.html
Generating more awareness should be encouraged. Cheers.
