As a little artistic interlude, I thought I’d just share this rather witty global warming inspired work of art that I found on the Creative Review blog today. It’s by the glue collective, and formed part of Sydney’s sculpture by the sea event.

sorry this is off subject
I agree with you about many things and I love animals and the planet and used to believe in global warming.
I think there is information avaiable to you that you have not looked at concerning global warming.
For instance their was a book written by Alexander King, Bertrand Schneider , who are members of a global think tank titled The club of Rome. Check it out on wikipedia if you want.
So in their book the first global revolution they came up with this great idea.
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill.”
Oh I see, they search and invent enemies for us so we can go to war for them and accomplish their agenda all the while we think its our own agenda.
Modern medicine and science has taken on a bizarre phenomenon where you cannot question the “experts” and all that they tell us is taken as the absolute truth. Sound familiar? Because only 800 so years agon, people were not allowed to read the bible. Only a priest (“expert”) was qualified to interpet the word of god for you and basically be able to tell you what to do on a daily basis to get to heaven.
Michael Crichton a brilliant scientist in my opinion has given a great speech as to a lot of the flaws in the global warming movement, the speech title is humours but itself is not and contains a lot of great information.
Search google, “Crichton Aliens cause global warming”
Not only that but you can find on scientific websites, I could post the links if you want, that the other planets and moons are heating up just like the earth. This would indicate the sun as the cause of heat on the earth and not mankind.
Hi Patrick, I appreciate the information and will look those things up. The idea of a common enemy is familiar to me, something Orwell wrote about. I would think the ‘war on terror’ is nearer to that than climate change. If climate change was hatched as something to unite people around, it hasn’t worked very well!
As for the science, I’ve heard all kinds of things about global warming, both for and against, and I don’t have the scientific background to decode it all and know what’s true. What I do know is that the world is changing, and that many people are going to suffer because of it.
There is definitely a lot of inflated talk around global warming, and it can easily be hijacked by people with other agendas, like the nuclear lobby for example. I’m more comfortable with the term climate change than global warming for that reason, but it might be even better just to talk about ‘environmental crisis’. Whatever our views on climate change, we can all agree that we have an environmental crisis, of overfishing, deforestation, erosion, pollution and so on, many of which feed into the changes in climate and in weather patterns that we’re seeing and don’t yet fully understand.
But whatever. I keep writing because even if 90% of our current science turns out to be false, there are still a million good reasons to live differently.
Some useful comments, Patrick. However, whatever one may think about climate change and global warming, fact remains that we in the west take vastly more than our fair share of the world’s resources, and continually skew the system to suit ourselves. Even if climate change were not taking place ( – it is indisputable that it is, though the causes of the change may be open to debate – ), we urgently need to address our ever-expanding rate of consumption of the planet’s resources, and the appallingly cruel inequalities that result from it.
