Climate change: Why we don't believe it

"Global warming is a threat that is going to wipe out civilisation as we know it. The liberal elite and political classes are signed up to the message that, unless we take urgent action within ten years, we are all literally doomed to burn up.

But who else believes them?

Beyond the corridors of Westminster and the offices of environmental pressure groups, where global warming and sustainability are buzzwords of the moment, British consumers continue flying, driving and buying with unchecked enthusiasm. The gulf between the pronouncements of our politicians and what the majority of people think and do, could scarcely be wider."

This is interesting, a discussion on why global warming message is not getting across to the masses. My thought is the alarmists have over sold the issue, most already know that the planet is getting warmer, but we do not trust the idea that it is caused by human actions.
