You have made this assertion repeatedly without providing any evidence to back it up. Would you care do so?
The notion that there is a lack of consensus is repeatedly promoted by the sceptics.
Sigh...
....
It seems more likely to me that the political agenda lies with those dismiss the whole anthropogenic global warming argument as nonsense.
There has been and always will be skeptics. Usually a "general" consensus is reached and science moves on to the next challenges. Biology wouldn't have got very far in the last 200 years if they were still trying to convince each last skeptic of Darwinism.Er, if consensus did exist, surely there would be no sceptics?

It doesn't bother me; if is all goes according to plan I'll end up with a sea front property. Cha-Ching!!Obviously, I'm not in the sceptical group myself. But believe me, this is one issue where I'd love to be proved wrong. Time will tell.

They also make a very good Christmas present at the moment.
Ah yes, the paddies using more energy efficient light bulbs; that will really make all the difference as China opens a new coal powered power plant every week.
Well intentioned though it may be, I can't imagine too many people would thank you for a christmas present like this?
Yep, but it had to be said. Again.But there is a hole in the bucket Dear Liza, Dear Liza - we are back to the first post !

Au contraire !! Parents and Grandparents would be delighted... they feel like they are climate change 'aware', they have made their 'one' change etc etc.... Win-Win.
Ten or twenty years ago, we would laugh behind our backs at a priest or nun who would suggest prayer as a solution to war, famine or the AIDS crisis. Now we are supposed to take seriously the notion that the "global warming problem" (yes the same problem that we are told is based on scientific fact) will somehow cure itself once we are all "aware" and "making one change"
Spot on. It might make you feel nice and fuzzy inside but it'll make bugger all difference to the big picture. Them's the facts, boo-hoo if they don't sit well with the sandal wearers amongst us.Yeah we may be going round in circles, but it won't change my attitute to the whole thing.
I know that people have said 'forget about what the rest of the world os doing, recycle yourself and let them worry about themselves etc', but if you click on that NYTimes link and check out the graphic on the lefthand side, it just shows how pointless anything we do is, in real terms.
US, China and India are over 66% of the worlds carbon dioxide production, and they aren't going to change. Millions of people in Ireland and Europe changing their lightbulbs, recycling their papers etc isn't going to make enough of a dent. Fact.
My point here was that they (energy/money saving light bulbs) make great Christmas presents...IMHO
Re Energy Saving Lightbulbs :
And is it me or do all the old bulbs seem to be expiring a lot more often than they used to ?
Dimmerable energy saving lightbulbs are available at the moment as far as I know.
