"Wrong on THREE counts, according to quite a few people here: RoadRat and Singers to name but TWO!"
Where are the three counts? It is a measurable fact that the globe has warmed. It cannot be disputed. It's as much a fact as the electric charge of an electron being 1.60217646 × 10-19 Coulombs. Anybody who does dispute it is ignorant and their opinion is not valid.
The earth has warmed by 0.6 deg C on a 100 year moving average basis.
The great thing about democracy in the modern world is, you don't have to convince the general populace, you only need convince opposing parties that are a viable opposition. If there's no differentiation between electoral candidates on a given issue, then an election ill not be won or lost based on that issue.
Of course, no government is going to try to push through a wholesale reduction of emissions because of all the knock-on affects (I could imagine economic failure, riots, starvation etc). In other words, it would not be for the greater god of mankind.
