		<description>Aw c&#039;mon Will - this thread is just getting interesting!

Let me guess Bill stepped over the line? (again)

He&#039;s away next week so your blog should be safe.

This is a very good blog Will - keep up the good work!</description>

		<description>This chain is getting a bit nasty. I&#039;m not going to take sides other than to say that one commenter stepped over the line with a personal attack and I&#039;ve removed their comment.

Be passionate, but be nice, or I&#039;ll put an end to this thread.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s kinda obvious that the whole global warming situation is far too complex to calculate what caused it and/or how we can cure it.

Anyone who does try to figure it all out should take all factors into consideration - the sun, the moon, magnetic fields, asteroids (and the effect), o3 depletion, blah, blah blah!

Even then, with all the evidence, all you can say is a guess!

What we should do is play the odds and try fix things as best we can, not bury our heads in the sand like a stupid bird.</description>

		<description>Rupert Read - so you do want to be an MP (what a surprise) - I&#039;ve just checked the Norwich East results where you came in behind UKIP.  With the backward views you force on other people I&#039;m surprised you got any votes at all. I guess you &quot;Can fool some of people all of the time&quot;.

[I&#039;ve removed this last statement - on second reading, it definitely falls outside our comments policy - WS]</description>

		<description>Rupert you need help - calm down, it&#039;s just a blog - why are you so serious in life?  If you can stop ranting for a minute and catch your breath you might want to answer the points raised here.

Wolfgang Knorr says CO2 absorption isn&#039;t included in Climate Change modelling - like the suns heat.  Since our own government proposes carbon capture then why not?  His data shows (data Rupert - not opinion, it&#039;s called science) that CO2 is absorbed at a higher rate than previously believed.

&quot;The study relied entirely on empirical data, including historical records extracted from ice samples in the Antarctic, rather than speculative climate change models&quot;
  
Now, without ranting Rupert and placed with the EVIDENCE in front of you and knowing, as everyone does, that the planet is getting colder.... explain why you&#039;re right, as a responsible representative of people in Norwich, to be ringing and emailing people with stupid unproven scaremongering.

Read the Times this morning Rupert. The majority of people in this country disagree with you and do not believe man made CO2 is causing Global Warming.  You are in a minority (doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re wrong) and you and your other Flat-Earthers need to get your facts straight.

You can smear, discredit and lie about people with views different to yours all you want Rupert but you are arguing without any scientific basis whatsoever because the planet is getting colder.

Let me guess Rupert. You believed it was right for this government to sack the scientist Professor Nutt over his FACTUAL reports on cannabis?

As regards to reporting your behavior to Caroline Lucas I do so because I have voted Green in the past and hate it when people like yourself make the party look foolish.  I&#039;m sure she cares how her party is perceived even if you don&#039;t.  

Same with the BBC. If you rang as an individual I&#039;d have no problem with it but you huffed and puffed up your chest thinking you were important because you&#039;re a Green Councillor and that that gives your opinion and yourself more credence.  It doesn&#039;t Rupert because you have NO scientific basis on which to be making your claims.  Just flawed opinion.   

Mankind going extinct if an agreement isn&#039;t reached....PAH.  Grow up.</description>

		<description>And yes: How DARE I email our state broadcaster questioning their decision to air unchallenged the views of a man who stands to make enormous financial profit from lieing about (denying) the greatest threat facing humanity? How DARE I &#039;step out of ine&#039; to do that?</description>

		<description>I need to go to bed - keep hitting F5 to refresh.

Rupert Read (that name has got to be made up!) I&#039;m going to email Caroline Lucas about you tomorrow. 

I find your patronising tone to be beyond the pale and I have voted for the Greens once in the past but if you are typical of their members, with your hectoring, holier than thou attitude, then people need to be aware of it.

You do the Green Party no favours with your selfish ambition and I am simply not going to let the matter rest here.  Rupert Read you are out of order :-(</description>
