Damn lies and statistics!

I remember when Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth were the only ones talking about global warming, lone voices in the dark.

Then governments figured out that it was a good excuse for more taxes and meddling, and if you're a scientist that wants government money, you use the interpretation that favours their point of view.

Now those who do not believe the case for man-made global warming are the cranks, the voices in the dark, but growing stronger.

I suppose one good thing, it does place some value on protecting forest ecosystems.

Now the anti-CFC campaign WAS needed, the evidence that CFC release was damaging the ozone layer was overwhelming. CFCs were also stated to be a more potent "greenhouse gas".

Energy efficiency is a good thing for many reasons, and a valid end in itself.
