    There is a bit of debate going on over here about this "doco" being purchased by the public tv station. The problem with The Great Global Warming Swindle, which the ABC plans to screen and which caused a sensation when it was broadcast in Britain earlier this year, is that to make its case it relies not on visionaries, but on people whose findings have been proven wrong. The implications could not be graver. Thousands of people could be misled into believing there is no problem to address.[^] Personally I'd like to see it

                                  I dont really have any opinion on GW. I doubt if there are more than 100 people in the world suffiently informed and knoledgable to draw meaningful conclusions. I think the politicalisation of the issue is a real shame. If anything I reakon we should err on the side of caution

                                    I dunno, i think before act erring or action the systems needs to be fully understood. They err'd on the side of caution with DDT and that was a mistake. Bryce

                                        There is a bit of debate going on over here about this "doco" being purchased by the public tv station. The problem with The Great Global Warming Swindle, which the ABC plans to screen and which caused a sensation when it was broadcast in Britain earlier this year, is that to make its case it relies not on visionaries, but on people whose findings have been proven wrong. The implications could not be graver. Thousands of people could be misled into believing there is no problem to address.[^] Personally I'd like to see it

                                        I guess the fact that we are all now admitting that the Earth is getting warmer is a step in the right direction. Of course there are other reasons to conserve if the the global warming doesn't move you - dwindling oil supplies, prices skyrocketing, etc. etc. Personally I think both side are a little extreme. Personally I object to Kyoto because it is an international treaty that is being used to gradually make us all accept the primacy of international law - i.e. once we bow down and make our national laws and policy subservient to these international laws, we lose more freedom, and another layer of unelected government is put into place. We should conserve, but not at the pace of some pushy socialist beaurocrats. And carbon trading is ridiculous.
