The screening of the other side of the global warming debate was welcomed on Prime TV last night. The programme underlined how there is so much information out there and we human beings are  spending  so much time and money  trying to understand what is happening .Scientists are split so who is right.?

The Panel Discussion

The most credibility had to go to the scientist who explained various facets of climate in an easy to understand way and he kept extremely calm given the circumstances.There was a believable air about him whereas the NIWA scientist and his ipcc supporting colleague  were very defensive  and appeared  unable to listen to alternative arguments.The other chipping agitator  was a plain  nuisance .
Leighton Smith didn’t have the scientific backup but then that is where most people are sitting.

Can’t help but think a common sense understanding and thinking carefully around all the issues being debated brings one to the conclusion that man is not the enemy in all of this and what lies ahead if governments make stupid political  moves on  climate change is  frightening indeed.
Worst of all,  is the  part we in New Zealand play in the big picture.  We are contributing nothing.We are a  blip  in the world and our emmissions are   pitiful. We are being taken for a ride and are making a mistake trying to lead the world on this one.
