Thanks for the warning, almost got puke on my macbook.

They seem to be stepping up the mad made Climate Change myth, I think this is because the first evidence is coming in the planet has started to cool.

I had BBC Countryfile on in the background on Sunday for some unknown reason; I lost count how many times they said 'climate change', but it was hell of a lot. They were implying that all the UK farmers are gonna have to grow grapes and apricots in the future if they want to survive.

yeah, also those sentimental, coming together for green britain, bollock adverts are on all the friggin time..and in my car, the radio is the same, adverts about climate change and coming together to fight it. In layman's terms, give up all your wealth in taxes and give up all your freedoms, to fight a myth. I'm fed up of this bullshit, it's everywhere.

I forget the programme (hmm program-me lol) but a woman was drawing parallels to the "we thought earth was flat" and using the global warming as an analogy as if it was a given now.

'Battle against climate change is like fighting the Nazis': Al Gore urges world leaders to unite

Former U.S. vice president Al Gore has likened the battle against climate change to fighting the Nazis during World War Two.

Speaking at the World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment in Oxford, the one-time presidential candidate called on the global community to approach the climate change crisis with 'a sense of joy'.

He also reminded delegates of Sir Winston Churchill rallying troops to save civilisation in World War Two.

'Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War Two,' Mr Gore said.

'We have everything we need except political will but political will is a renewable resource.'

Mr Gore, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for the climate change film An Inconvenient Truth, said the greatest challenge would be to convince people that the threat from climate change was as urgent as the threat from Nazi Germany.

'It can happen. It will happen. We have everything we need except political will, and political will is a renewable resource.

'We can berate politicians for not doing enough, and compromising too much, and not being bold and addressing this existential threat to civilisation.

'But the reason they don't is that the level of concern among populations has still not risen to cross the threshold to make the political leaders feel they must address it.'

Mr Gore said all countries needed to take action, adding: 'We have to have a global agreement, and the way which we can get one is if politicians in each country act, and the only way that can happen in turn is if awareness rises to the level to make them feel that it is a necessity.'

Young people would be at the forefront of pushing for such change, in the way that those who worked to achieve President John F.Kennedy's goal of getting a man on the moon 40 years ago were those in their twenties, he said.

He admitted it was easy for people to feel discouraged when 'you look at how rapidly we are moving towards this catastrophe, when you look at the lethargy of so many elected officials'.

However, he added that he had spent the past two years holding discussions with scientists and engineers about how to solve the problem of climate change.

'I come away from that journey absolutely convinced that we have the tools to solve three climate crises. We only have to solve one.'

Professor Sir David King, the Government's chief scientific adviser, also stressed the importance of engaging political leaders.

Sir David, director of the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at Oxford University, which organised the three-day forum, said he was 'disappointed' by the poor turnout from members of the Government.

He said he had hoped ministers, including the Prime Minister, would attend.

'That did not transpire. We need to work much harder with the Government.'

More than 200 people, including politicians, business leaders and academics, attended the forum, the first of what is to be an annual event.

Other speakers included former London Mayor Ken Livingstone and president of Rwanda Paul Kagame.
