I take a very different position to you on where the evidence lies on global warming (although indeed I'm not a climatologist) but I'm still impressed by the sheer amount of effort you put into defending your position. Now you might want to say that you are just standing up for the truth pure and simple. However, there has to be more to it than that, because there are any number of things out there being claimed as true that many of us don't believe but we don't go out of our way to debunk (I don't know, astrology, homeopathy and alien abductions for instance). Why is it that the global warming global conspiracy (as you see it) gets you so fired up?

For those of us on the other side, the reason is obvious why we get involved - we think we all have a lot to lose. What do you think is under threat by stuff like more renewable energy, smaller cars, more public transport and more bicycles on the roads?
