where?

The population of Kiribati have to leave soon and the Maldives are threatened. Next could be lowland Bangladesh.

i don't claim Earth self-regulates perfectly - I say we don't know enough to be able to judge

Very good that you don't claim that, because you would be wrong. What has been established beyond reasonable doubt is that man-made climate change is a huge threat to life on our planet.

And GDP's are rising, production increasing, the worlld's population is increasing at a horrific rate and the Chinese are now making and producing cars. Sea levels are rising, species are becoming extinct, the world's climate is changing and we have a ticking time bomb.

Actually there wasn't. The notion that the earth orbits the sun was being talked about since the 3rd Century AD, if not earlier and was known to scientists.

Ya see the thing is man, that there is no climate change debate, you guys lost, it's over, now just do everyone a favour and separate your trash, burn less coal, walk to the shops instead of driving and help the earth out a bit, it all helps if everyone just does their bit and stops dragging their heels

Very true. The worst offender over the past 100 years has been ethyl lead used in cars and various industrial processes. That and the vastly expanding human population.

I hardly think her politicians knocking the science of global warming is a plus for Poland.

It isn't

I'm not going to rehash the global warming debate, and neither should Poland. The established science makes anyone who does look archaic and contrary.

Exactly.

Shale gas

Environmentally dreadful.
