"Not sure if your confusion about science posts are really that much better than your xenophobic trolling. Still, makes a change." Doesn’t feel right to debate such things when so many are suffering but no confusion on my part. I have never posted anything xenophobic. | |||

"My best friend from school lost his parents in the floods. They were accross visiting relatives at the time. They were one of the first families that set up shops in Central Scotland and have helped many locals as well as myself over the years. My heart goes out to all those struggling in Pakistan at the moment. "It really resonates when you know someone involved. | |||

Perhaps this wasn't mean to be a debate and just a chance for us to say "Oh yes Seb you are 100% right - thank you pointing that out"  | |||

You said the usual suspects ARE saying it's climate change. You stated this at the beginning, before anyone here commented so you couldn't possibly be referring to the people here.

All that is missing to compete the pattern is to say it was just humour. PS please don't take the seriously - it was just a joke | |||

"Seb, is climate change a thing ? And, if yes, did it pay any part in the floods ? I'm sure you have the confidence in your opinions to state your view. " I’m not a denier but I am a sceptic. The climate has always changed. The ‘science’ is more speculation really. It’s clearly not right to burn everything and we must change our ways. Let’s not go back to the Middle Ages though. We don’t know that the climate has changed. We have only been recording it for a couple of hundred years and of course the way it’s recorded has changed. We’ve only had digital for what - 20 years or so? 25 years ago these floods would have been a couple of lines in the paper with a grainy mono image. Now it’s wall to wall 24 hour news channels. The Pakistan climate change minister has blamed climate change. Well, he would wouldn’t he. What hasn’t been mentioned but it’s a fact unlike climate change speculation is the staggering population growth. From 58million in 1970 to 226 million today. Many of them living in known flood plains. Let’s all do our bit but don’t give in to the climate fanatics and “don’t panic “ | |||

One of the problems is the often self appointed climate change experts  don’t do themselves any favours by claiming every extreme weather event is due to climate change. Earlier this year they claimed the famine in Madagascar was ‘the first climate change induced famine’. Right, no mention that on an island the population has grown from 6 to 26 million people.
Also the nonsense in Australia where a few years back they claimed after a drought it ‘may never rain again’. Guess what? Possibly the same experts that said the GBR was ‘bleached’ and would die off in a few years. Guess what - it’s now bigger than ever. | |||
