    The same reason you ignore the fact that the global population is still rising fast.

    Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

          It is enough to push people over the edge. Green taxes are killing people, right now, in the UK.

          How many die just because of that tax? And pollution kills more people.

            You can argue about the interpretation, but not about the facts the paper presents. GCMs run way too hot. CO2 is not causing any where near as much warming. Period.

              Poor people find the £10 a month hard to find, so they turn the heating down, move into one room in their flats. The incidence of respiratory diseases is increasing and is costing our NHS a lot of money. Green policies are killing people. Right now. In europe. All to save some other people who *might* be affected in 50 years. Its a disgrace. A foul and nasty disgrace.

              According to the following taxes on the fuel bill are 15%. All taxes. Five reasons why energy bills are so high – and still rising | The big energy debate | The Guardian[^] Even presuming that that 15% could be entirely eliminated as per your contention it would still leave a heating bill (where 15% is 110) of 623 and, based on history, that would continue to go up. So one can certainly presume that if that extra 110 now, then in a couple of years 50 would still be a problem. Following is more recent and suggests that the total cost is only about 30 more than in 2009. Infographic: Bills, prices and profits | Ofgem[^] Additionally it seems unlikely, per one google link that that extra 110 would be the difference between heating one room in a house and the entire house. Cold homes caused 9,000 deaths last winter, study suggests - BBC News[^] Also the above does not fit the following Fuel poverty: An anatomy of a cold home - BBC News[^] Per the above "Hayley estimates they spend £15 to £20 on electricity and £15 on gas per week....They can't afford to keep the heating on during the night" So at 15 per week even it went to 100 per week, to warm it at night, most of that would still not be taxes. And if 15 is a problem then a percentage of that is unlikely to be a differentiater. If anything it seems likely that if people are dying from the cold it is due to the total energy costs and not the taxes on those.

                Global birth rate is down to 2.4 kids per family. That is maintenance levels. In 20 years the worlds population will decline. By the way, there is 5 times the mass of termites on earth than people. People are really no more over populated than many other species.

                Again - that is not the same as maintenance. The global population is going up and it will continue to go up for some time. It is possible that at some point it will actually reach the level that you are claiming it is already at but that has not happened yet.

                  Based on that one would not discuss anything because nothing is known. But the trend line that his statistics actually represent suggest that that population of the world will reach a plateau sometime in the future. But his claim that it has reached it already is incorrect.

                    Not sure what that means. The rate is rather low and it has been decreasing for a very long time (it is not zero as he claimed.) But I would certainly not claim that it is "fast". Scroll down to the "Growth rate" graph. World Population Clock: 7.6 Billion People (2017) - Worldometers[^]

                      Who cares how you interpret the effect of 4C of warming, the take home message from this paper is that models run way too hot.

                          Yes, there are lots of causes of death. The green energy levies are just one of them.

                            Are you stupid? I stated that todays low birth rate will cause the population to level of in 20 or 30 years, ie, when THSOE kids become parents.

                              the extra cost pushes people over the edge. Dont you understand that? That some people have very little income, and are on a fine edge, and can just afford to live?

                                Ah, you see the point then. I'll guarantee you two things: 1. The world population will decline at some point. 2. Nobody has any idea when that will happen or what the total population will reach before that point. "Suggests" is the keyword. It's a guess, doesn't mean it'll be any more accurate than my or your guesses. Take it with a pinch of salt.

                                  Oh, so you have moved the argument from what people eat to all animals? The earth is 25% greener since 1980 due to CO2. That is what the animals will eat.

                                  Ok, you asked what a 2 degree C temperature change effects.. here you go for starters: [Marine problems: climate change | WWF](http://wwf.panda.org/about\_our\_earth/blue\_planet/problems/climate\_change/) [Global Warming Effects on Salt Water Species](http://www.climatehotmap.org/global-warming-effects/salt-water-species.html) [Impacts of Climate Change on Marine Organisms and Ecosystems](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982209011816) [Insects feel the heat: scientists reveal rise in temperature affects ability to reproduce](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/insects-effected-by-rise-in-temperature-1.672122) This is the natural food chain - without these creatures, we (and lots of other larger animals) don't eat.

                                    Mid 40's.. old enough to not take some things seriously, be cynical about most stuff and trust my instincts and experience over other people's vague opinions.

                                    Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

                                      Ok, you asked what a 2 degree C temperature change effects.. here you go for starters: [Marine problems: climate change | WWF](http://wwf.panda.org/about\_our\_earth/blue\_planet/problems/climate\_change/) [Global Warming Effects on Salt Water Species](http://www.climatehotmap.org/global-warming-effects/salt-water-species.html) [Impacts of Climate Change on Marine Organisms and Ecosystems](http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982209011816) [Insects feel the heat: scientists reveal rise in temperature affects ability to reproduce](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/insects-effected-by-rise-in-temperature-1.672122) This is the natural food chain - without these creatures, we (and lots of other larger animals) don't eat. It's all well documented.

                                      Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

                                      Supposition, over simplification, ignorance of the facts, and fear mongering. That is what your links contain. A few points: 1) Coral bleaching. This is due to many factors, land run off of agricultural/industrial waste. Water level falling (as happens to the GBR in an el nino), rapid rise and fall in temperatures, and predation. 2) What is 'optimal'? So what if species move to higher latitudes? Why is that a bad thing? 3) The planet earth has consistently had an average temperature 7C higher than today, yet life evolved quite happily. Why is a rise of 2C necessarily bad?

                                        I find it surprising then that you cant not differentiate between the past, and its effect on today, and today, and its effect on tomorrow. Todays birth rate is the population in 30 years, since that is when those kids grow up and have families. With the birth rate at 2.4 globally, down from 7 30 years ago, the result is obvious.

                                          I find it surprising that you think what's happening today is what will happen tomorrow. How do you know that in 5 or 10 years time, young adults won't be back having large families again?

                                          Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.
