  • I will make a prediction that the Daily Fail will repeat this nonsense tomorrow morning.

    I guarantee in 15 years current climotology theory will look nothing like it does today.

    Around 70,000 years ago, the human race was almost extinct as the result of an ice age caused by natural factors.

    So, if climate warming is being caused by natural factors, it doesn't necessarily mean everything will go along all okie-dokey.

  • I would be very surprised also if the human race is still around in another 70,000 years.

    This is true, but it's all the more reason we should be concentrating our resources on things that matter to human survival, like real science instead of bogus, politicised, psuedo-scientific fads.
