"to the growth of microscopic creatures in the oceans" All those trawlers stirring up all that food. Go microscopic creatures in the oceans. "a firm and ever-growing body of evidence points to a clear picture: the world is warming, this warming is due to human activity increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere" A statement with no ever-growing body of evidence presented that shows how all the below are not supported with an equally firm and ever-growing body of evidence. • Human CO2 emissions are too tiny to matter • We can't do anything about climate change • The 'hockey stick' graph has been proven wrong • Chaotic systems are not predictable • We can't trust computer models of climate • They predicted global cooling in the 1970s • It's been far warmer in the past, what's the big deal? • It's too cold where I live - warming will be great • Global warming is down to the Sun, not humans • It’s all down to cosmic rays • CO2 isn't the most important greenhouse gas • The lower atmosphere is cooling, not warming • Antarctica is getting cooler, not warmer, disproving global warming • The oceans are cooling • The cooling after 1940 shows CO2 does not cause warming • It was warmer during the Medieval period • We are simply recovering from the Little Ice Age • Warming will cause an ice age in Europe • Ice cores show CO2 increases lag behind temperature rises, disproving the link to global warming • Ice cores show CO2 rising as temperatures fell • Mars and Pluto are warming too • Many leading scientists question climate change • It's all a conspiracy • Hurricane Katrina was caused by global warming • Higher CO2 levels will boost plant growth and food production • Polar bear numbers are increasing
