Climate Change is here and man made

One other reply to an earlier comment about a burning a tree being the same CO2 output as natural decay. Sorry to say, but this is nonsense! In simple terms, burning a tree releases as CO2 all the carbon that has been captured by that tree throughout its lifetime in one go; a decaying tree however keeps much of the carbon locked up for a far longer period. Some of the carbon is not released at all as it remains locked up in other organisms that feed off the decaying plant such as fungi or insects, keeping the carbon part of complex molecules that enter the foodchain.
In that case why are wood chip burners considered an acceptable environmental way of producing energy?
 
That hits the nail on the head. There is a huge amount of political- and corporate weight behind the scepticism on climate change because the pay-offs from ignoring the issue are short-term, which benefits politicians (they get re-elected) and corporations (they make more money). Doing something about it only benefits the next generation.

Just love the use of big corporations as way of perpetuating the man made climate change sham, it boils down to anti capitalism and a way to stop third world countries using their own natural resources just like the developed world did. Keeping the poor, poor!
