Okay - this is a pretty over-analysed topic, but CO2 caused climate change is starting to smell to me like a Weapon of Mass Destruction, i.e. everyone is sure it exists without evidence, until it doesn't.
(Being clear here CO2 caused climate change as opposed to climate change in general, which has happened many times before in history, and at times much hotter than now.)
Reveals that for unknown reasons, the data has been "Homogenised" from showing cooling to showing warming.
Now, my personal position is that I believe that climate change is happening, but am unconvinced as to the cause. I base this on nothing but what I hear and see and experience. I know when I was a kid the winters were colder, sometimes the grass would even be crunchy in the morning, something I have not seen in many, many years.
So why do the scientists have to artificially skew the data so badly to convince people? I would have believed it without the adjustments. Personally I would prefer them focus on what the cause of climate change is.
I don't mind us switching to renewable energy sources, as burning oil and petrol at the mercy of the middle-east has generally never been a good plan for the future - but I don't like us being forced to do it under the guise of responding to a fictional WMD-like threat of CO2.
I worry that too many people have placed themselves in industries that now rely on the "Climate-Threat" to remain real so they maintain their own livelyhoods. "Knights of the C02 Footprint" or some such thing almost treating it as a new religion. So much so, if anyone tries to question rationally the basis for whats going on they become a "skeptic".
It very closely reminds me of the loss of rational thought that happens to people when they buy Apple hardware - but that belongs in a separate rant.
