Yes, really, take it from me, I've been reading research papers :-

You should listen to the experts. If all decisions made by our governments were made on the sole basis of public debate, this country would collapse. Honest.
Do you honestly think that people who believe in the healing power of diluted water (for example) should be able to influence health services provision ?
I don't claim to be an expert on Climate Change. I'm not a Climate Scientist. But I have studied enough Science to be able to understand some of the research into Global Warming and Climate Change.
Although I cannot spell out the whole story, I do want you to take it from me : Climate Change is real, it's happening now, and mankind's activities are the largest factor in causing it.
I can also convey to you, with relayed authority, that there are high risks to the natural world, and all Life on Earth, from the progressive and emerging changes to the Climate that are taking place...

What a nice guy that professor is
I followed a couple of the links and came to this quote
"He said they were variously called sceptics, denialists, contrarians, delayers or delusionists.
"Whatever the label you attach to them, they are all cut of the same anti-intellectual cloth," Prof Brook said in an article published in the latest issue of Australasian Science."
I can see why you like him. I find his attitude both offensive and obstructive. I trained as a scientist, worked in the industry for 10 years, am all for intellectual debate and happy to be convinced either way on the MMGW debate. So far neither side has convinced me. Evalgelising and insulting people that don't immediately agree with you is best left to religion and politics where it can be safely ignored.
