[quote spearmint]No folks I am not kidding. You believers have been had. It is a Theory! There is no proof.
You have no idea what a theory is, do you?
Do you equally dismiss relativity, gravity and evolution?
In fact, your conjecture that global warming is a hoax falls under conspiracy theory.
The only one who has been "had" is yourself.

Even if it were only a theory, it makes no sense to ignore what could possibly be true. The act of positioning ourselves to avoid the possible ravages of global warming is the only intelligent response to this particular theory.
In addition, there is no downside to doing whatever we can to reduce greenhouse emissions unless one has a preference for polluted air, rank water, contaminated foods, and unusual un-natural disasters.

Prince Charles was talking to plants twenty years ago, they said he was a crazy tree hugger then, but have since discovered that plants do thrive when talked to or have music played to them.
He was an advocate of organic farming twenty years ago and they called him a 'looney, now they say Organic is healthier than pesticide sprayed food.
He now uses an analogy which is rather eccentric even by 'Brit' standards, but he's always been a little 'off the wall', but he's been right, so far.
If something isn't done about 'global' pollution we will see death on a scale never seen before.
It has been estimated that GB will have a third of it's coast under water in fifty years time, due to melting polar ice caps.
His words may lack the sheen of a Hollywood blockbuster but his message is still the same, if we don't change our ways and soon, we may never be able to reverse the damage done, if it's not already too late.
I may be biased slightly as I am a 'Brit' and see our Royals as a bit of a National Treasure, I'm not a total monarchist.
But I do respect the man for going out on a limb to raise awareness of this possible catastrophic problem.
Remember, he doesn't have to say anything, he just turns up wherever he's told to go. He may be right, he may be wrong, but can any of us afford the luxury of avoiding what he has to say?
He has chosen this particular subject as it's something he feels passionately about.
I actually met him at a small luncheon party that my dad couldn't attend, (about thirty local businessmen were invited to the opening of a new government building and luncheon afterwards, so I went in my dad's place) I was surprised, he doesn't seem to be the 'nutter' he's portrayed as by the press. He only shook my hand and asked me what it was like working in the area, but he was pleasant enough, it was about three weeks before he married Diana.
Now Camilla, just don't get me started?
Slapper.

I will add that I am also a UK citizen but cannot be considered bias as I am more against than for the monarchy however I still agree with everything you said about Charles.

He's been saying it for years and now others are starting to say,'Yeah the bloke was right,' We can agree to differ on the Monarchy, but the planet is something we all need to deal with,and soon. :-)

I don't think any of us can afford to sit and think of this as a hoax.
If it is it doesn't matter, if it's not we're f u cked.
I'd rather go with the ' we're f u cked' and start trying to do something about it.
Better to be safe than sorry. YES?
