Very much so. I tried reading a couple of books, but the science got too heavy. It seems you have to know everything about the earth and the solar system and how everything reacts with <I>everything</I> else, that it all gets too complicated. But my skeptism is more about what we should do about it, and the individual led anti-consumer ''politics'' that is put out to promote being concerned about your <B>personal</B> carbon footprint. And so, another thread on this website is titled ''Concern about climate change ‘highest ever’ ''. Most people understand this stuff like they understand the Lisbon Treaty on Europe. I'm in an all night internert cafe in Kuala Lumpur right know. 50 brand new Samsung computors and the air conditioning on 24/7 so cold that I have to wear my jacket when I'm in here. It fills up with young people playing the very latest computor games and drinking soft drinks from the fridge. Outside many businesses and street cafes are open 24 hours too. There is a 24 hour 7-11 shop on nearly ever corner, and everything comes in disposable bottles and packaging. In my hotel I had to ask them to turn the air conditioner down as it was too cold. Same on some on the buses or in the cinema. You walk about in light clothing because its hot outside, then inside it's too cold. Maybe George Monbiot needs to come over and lecture them. So my skepticism is more, that back in England when you hear some event like the Glastonbury festival, going on about how they are using ''locally sourced'' cooking fat to power some of their generators and biodegradable tent pegs and such, when it makes no difference what so ever. It's just boring. I would certainly be skeptical about neo-con opinion on climate change too. Very much so. I tried reading a couple of books, but the science got too heavy.

This is a very good answer to Kojak’s question @4.

The Conservative base is now as wing nut and stupid as the base of the Republican party. The party of Churchill has become the party of Dale and Clarkson and Mel. I have never believed a word call me Dave says and I think if he wins, all science matters will have to be run past the anti science Mad Mels of this world.

The Right is reverting to it's old habits of burglary, and criminal theft to try to make it's point. Just like Watergate we now have climate gate. And with the news that a climate research centre has been broken into in Canada we can see, just like Watergate this is being orchestrated by powerful, wealthy elites who want noting to stop their greed. The fact that Mad Mel and all the other suspects are nothing more than stenographers for their wealthy corporate masters is no surprise. “This was just yet more anti-scientific ignorance and ideological propaganda”
