Well, I post here as often as my job, commuting and expectant wife allows. That's not as often as I'd like and I still have outstanding replies for Merrick. I've extensive experience of working overseas in Europe, Africa and the US. I've worked with agriculture, tourism, antiques, fishing and the 'great evil' of the oil industry and know my light ends from my heavy ends, my ROVs from my sat-monkeys, ewes from tupps and my Mercators from my Ortelius. I like to look in on forums that both agree and disagree with my views and politics. I look at both Warming and Anti-Global Warming blogs, sites, etc. and truly believe there is a scam going on, on at least one level...

I've learnt a lot of great facts from here and I've learnt that some minds will not be changed.

But, if my posts are unwelcome, and this is for only lefty-eco-activists, then hey-ho, I'll just 'jog on'... No harm, no foul and no dummy spitting. ;-)

All the best chaps.


I never suggested your posts are unwelcome, jshell. I guess others may have, but I've not been here for the best part of a year so I simply don't know.

It was people posting comments that were nothing more than cheap insults and sarcastic snipes that I was lamenting. I'm unaware of you doing that, so I'm not sure why you took my post in any way personally.

In fact, I have no problem discussing Climate Change (or anything else) with you, as you can probably tell by my post on the Climate Change thread which was a serious and considered response to your assertion that there is no evidence that CO2 is warming the planet.

I'd be interested in your response to the data I posted (do you accept that it undermines your position? Or do you have information that refutes or disproves what I wrote?). I certainly was not suggesting that this place is "only for lefty-eco-activists", nor that your posts, or alternative viewpoints in general, are unwelcome. In fact, if you actually read what I wrote, it's pretty clear that I wasn't saying anything of the sort.

The usefulness of this forum derives from a range of opinions. Yes, I feel it's gotten too mainstream of late, but that's just my opinion. One among many. And one I may argue over the next few months. My criticism of individuals, however, only goes as far as those who act in an antisocial manner.
