"i say this is poppycock"

The research (about the sun being the source of climate change) adds weight to the views of David Bellamy, the conservationist. "Global warming - at least the modern nightmare version - is a myth," he said. "I am sure of it and so are a growing number of scientists. But what is really worrying is that the world's politicians and policy-makers are not.

"Instead, they have an unshakeable faith in what has, unfortunately, become one of the central credos of the environmental movement: humans burn fossil fuels, which release increased levels of carbon dioxide - the principal so-called greenhouse gas - into the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to heat up. They say this is global warming: I say this is poppycock."

GLobal warming survives as a scientific concept because it is easy to believe. When you ask people who do believe in it how the weather was 300 years ago, they can't tell you. Notice comparisons commentators make when they say this is the warmest time since ..... If global warming was true, then it should be the warmest time ever- unless there was a volcanic explosion
