I wrote to Marcus Brigestocke a while ago following a rant he did on Green Taxes (he is a big Global Warmer), he relpied:
Thank you for your email. I'm not particularly aware of the changes in the Antarctic so it made for fascinating reading - which I will try to research further when I have time. I'm not entirely clear from what you sent whether you are saying that all the research suggesting that the climate is changing perilously fast is hysterical nonsense or just that there are other views out there which should be considered. Is it your position that anthropomorphic climate change is a myth? In other words do you feel from the research you have done that we should continue with our current rate of greenhouse gas emissions?
My own position, as I'm sure you are aware, is that at present we seem to be standing in the middle of a large road while an enormous truck is hurtling towards us. Instead of stepping out of the way we are currently staying pretty much where we are - in the middle of the road - busily discussing
whether or not the truck is red or blue.
I look forward to hearing from you.
All the best
Marcus Brigstocke
Well, I wrote back about two months ago with massive amounts of evidence that Global Warming is a big scam.... He has yet to repsond!
Meanwhile he is the main act on this (FREE) gig.
Any Hecklers out there want to go?
