Climate Change – A lot of hot air?

I don’t believe that climate change is happening to the extent the Government scientists claim, I’m sure that is a change in climate but that is cyclical it has happened since the earth was created, and will continue to change with or without our help,  just look at the ice age.

Are we expected to believe our way of life now is affecting the climate, when for 300 years every house in Europe used coal for heat and our chimneys billowed thick black smoke around the clock.

Though we are more efficient in our factory’s now it was not always like that, our factory’s also fouled  the atmosphere with smoke , in China it is still happening, China is the worlds worst polluter of  air.

Climate change is just a tool used as a scare tactic to extract extra taxes from the population, its just the latest scare of many.

In the early 80’s I can remember the adverts claiming that within 5 years everybody in the Country would know someone who had aids or had died of aids, then we had Ebola that was meant to kill half the worlds population, Salmonella, bird flu, Swine flu, its always something, coffee is good for us coffee is bad for us , a glass of red a day prevents heart disease, then a few years down the line a glass of red a day causes heart disease.

Back in the 50’s we were told smoking was good,  it made men manly and attractive to women, ( remember the Marlboro man) it made women  sexy and sophisticated, today it kills us, smoking is bad. Incidentally the Marlboro man died of lung cancer caused by smoking.

So for now they beat the climate change drum with enthusiasm, until its noticed that the World is ticking along ok, and then its on to the next scare.
