The views of another prominent scientist, Professor David Bellamy, have come to my attention. He points out that claiming Armageddon on the basis of short-term temperature cycles is unjustified, and says that average world temperatures have had a tendency to fall, rather than rise, since 1998. Prof. Bellamy is happy to be branded a heretic (heretics throughout history have stood up against dogma based on bigotry), but not to be called a “denier”. Deniers (he says) don’t believe in the facts, but “there are no facts linking the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide with imminent catastrophic global warming”. I completely agree.

Good to see yet another scientist speaking out.
Many of the great advances in scientific knowledge have been made by ‘heretics’ who have disproved the perceived wisdom of their contemporaries.
As usual, the politicians hyping global warming are ignoring the elephant in the room, which is that existing reserves of hydro carbon fuels may be exhausted by the end of this century. That may well trigger a war upon a global scale.
