On yer bike



Which is an English expression for.................. get lost, go away
.
And this is what is now appearing in British newspapers and blogs about the increasing understanding that Global Warming was a con, a great big scam
.
Making bankers and scientists, researchers large amounts of money
.
Also there is increasing anger that at first it was Global Warming which was then cleverly mutated into Climate Change
.
No one argues with Climate Change it is constantly occuring and has been so since this planet first formed
.
The anger is about the IPCC and others lying, cheating and falsifying information then turning  round as the Chairman of the IPCC did recently and accusing anyone who doubted the IPCC of being guily of voodoo science
.
Smear tactics of calling those who do not agree with you deniers or other such names is nasty at the best of times, but when about a subject as important as this anger mounts
.
This increasing irritation is about a wider range of subjects though
.
Subjects that should be of critical concern if we truly care about the future of our planet
.
So if you want to talk about how we can clean up the planet from the chemical toxins of the PetroChemical Industries, the Mining Industry which has laid waste entire ecosystems, the depleted uranium contaminating the battlefields of Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan, the minefields around the world killing and maiming civilians,
.
The toxic chemical contamination of our food chain, the plastics contaminating the oceans of the world, the Infant Formula Industry coercing third world mothers not to breast-feed as they make formula with putrid contaminated water.......
.
One could go on with thousands of examples of destruction of the planet and most if not all of that driven by big business making big money.
.
The fact that big business and banks sought to grab more cash by compromising the very principles and integrity of science, governments, and the mass media is an affront to any person capable of independent, critical thought who refuse to cringe and comply in the face of ridicule and contempt by the fraudsters, banksters, money-grubbing politicians and lying journalists.
.
What should be mentioned is that things went pear shaped when ego, earnings, industrial/contractual subventions, hidden financial and other persuasions kicked in.
.
In a corporate environment some are paid to produce factually and absolutely accurate information.
.
Others are then paid to doctor this to whatever advantage is required, usually the management chain's compensation targets with direct linkage to the stock market via ' analysts groups etc.
.
But both are vital and are therefore remunerated the initial accurate information usually being poorly paid and the doctoring of information being highly paid
.
In the scientific environment we as a society actually need better behaviour than this .
.
Why?
.
Cooking the numbers to ensure further funding is one thing , cooking the numbers that results in trashing half of the living organisms on this planet is quite another.
.
Producing vaccine base in a hurry, knowingly cutting corners, in the hope of being 'first to market' irrespective of the carnage that might result, getting a whole chain of review and release to act in the name of 'being first' and/or to assuage the endless thirst of 'friendly' corporate interests...is another also .
.
The fact that climate is changing is fact.
.
The fact that human activity is contributing to speed of change is a fact.
.
That humans cannot change the natural 'universe' related aspects of climate change is a fact.
.
That we can change our contribution to the speed of change is a fact.
.
That governments can plan now to 'manage' humanity as and when the climate changes start to impinge on living organisms, and on the life support systems and living environment of humans is also a fact.
.
The subject of interest is whether governments have taken the above as facts and whether and how they are planning to deal with the next 25, 50, 100 years.
.
To summarise: climate change is a natural phenomenon.
.
It is happening.
.
We are accelerating it.
.
We want to know what governments that is all governments are doing about it to cover the next 100 years of impact
.
That simple
.
And that is what the increasing irritation is about

We have so many real problems that need our money, energy and attention
