   Green MEP Caroline Lucas has hit out at the media after a poll revealed that a majority of people in the UK believe that scientists aren’t agreed about the facts of climate change – or that it is being caused by human activity.

   According to latest figures by pollsters Ipsos-MORI, some 56 per cent of respondents agreed with the statement: “Many leading experts still question if human activity is contributing to climate change”. Just 22 per cent disagreed.

   Dr Lucas, who is a member of the European Parliament’s Environment and Climate Change committees, said: “This is very worrying. Politicians will never take the steps necessary to cut emissions unless voters demand that they do so, and they won’t demand it if they remain sceptical about their role in changing the climate in the first place.

   “The media are, at least in part, to blame: their obsession with appearing to be balanced means discussions of climate change tend to have a naysayer arguing either that climate change isn’t happening, or that it isn’t manmade, as though there is a serious ongoing scientific debate about this.

   “But the fact is that there is an overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change: almost every scientist in the world agrees that climate change is happening, that it is being fuelled by human activity, and that our best chance of ameliorating its worst impacts lies in dramatically cutting global greenhouse gas emissions.

   “By suggesting otherwise the media is, albeit inadvertently, promoting dangerous scepticism about climate change – and undermining our chances of doing anything about it.”

   Dr Lucas, who was named Politician of the Year in the recent Observer Ethical Awards 2007, likened climate change scepticism to holocaust denial.

   “The media’s attempt to seem balanced is in fact distorting the public’s understanding of perhaps the most pressing issue facing us all today – and it’s tragic. It doesn’t make any sense: would the media insist on having a holocaust-denier to balance any report about the second word war? Of course not – but by insisting on giving so much airtime to climate change deniers, it is doing exactly the same thing.”

   Those green party people absolutely cannot STAND for people to have a contrary opinion questioning their dogma.

   SwampMan was watching a program, I walked in and started telling him a litany of the fallacies that the program was based on, and he got really, really annoyed, turned off the television, and stomped outside and started mowing the grass (undoubtedly to provoke a heart attack and I’d REALLY feel bad then). I do feel really bad because I was trying to provoke him into doing a tuneup on my vehicle so that I could go to the beach and leave him in peace and quiet.

    So instead of going to the beach, I’m having to amuse myself with things like advertising slogans instead. Just enter your name into the word portion and hit sloganize.

    I lead a sad, sad life.

    Here’s my slogan.

    Yeah, there goes that consensus thing again. The scientific method sure has changed since this gorebal warming hysteria began.

    Swampie, not telling you how to work with SMan, or nothin’, but most men tend to prefer the direct approach, without ambiguity. Like, “SMan, would you please tune my pickemup truck?”
    Try it, you’ll see.

    Dang, lots of interesting pieces up today.

    We need Zell!

    Silly Democrats.

    The direct approach does not work well when it is above 90 degrees, sunny and humid outside.

    Although “Hey, I’m gonna take your truck to the beach and run it through the surf on account of mine needs a tune-up” might get a reaction.

    *Sigh*
    Most women just do not understand the direct approach.

    Tune up my vehicle or I will put a boot through the television?

    /Heh. I’m programming the satellite to switch on the hour to Oxygen interspersed with Logo this evening.

    No…once again, “would you please tune my pickemup truck?”
    Simple direct interrogatory.

    He will do it when he feels like it. Therefore, I’m trying to make him feel like it.

    I would take it to the only garage in town (I don’t think I’d reach the next one) but again, I’ll have to wait until the mechanic “gets around” to doing it.
