Manhattan Declaration signatories comprise mostly businessmen, policy-makers and economists plus a small number of scientists. The Heartland Institute who hosted the NIPCC conference behind the declaration receives funding from Exxon.

Clarence Threepwood

Tedious evocation of Nazism by rightwingers again, based on a flawed knowledge of history and science. Eugenics had little to do with the holocaust, which was much more to do with historical anti-semitism. Eugenics was not only about race, indeed most of the early 20th century policies were more to do with class and health than race. it had no evidence behind it GW does.

Nope. I imagine the Eugenics example serves to prove that it is possible for the majority of scientists, politicians and opinion formers to be collectively fooled into endorsing unscientific nonsense on the back of marginal evidence.

As the man said, "A group of men loose their minds quickly, but regain them individually and slowly." Well, that was the meaning of it.

Hi. I know it's off topic, and probably a little presumptuous of me to butt in, but I just wanted to jump into this debate, to state that I honestly believe it would benefit mankind greatly, if Gordon Brown, and his cronies, were all hung, from trees or lamp posts, whatever really, by their necks, until they were all dead.

You're right. Last week I went to a BNP rally, there were so many skinheads there, I guess they needed to go grade one to cool off. Strange thing though, sandals must have been in short supply as they were all wearing jackboots.

I think spring will be a thing of the past. Just walk around Moss Side, Manchester and other towns like Birmingham, Rochdale, Bradford, Oldham, Leeds, Nottingham plus a few more and you will find that a lot of the inhabitants have now got a lovely sun tan and sport Asiatic and Lawrence of Arabia clothing, suggesting that our climate has indeed changed for quite a while now.
In fact even the smell of cooking has changed from traditional English to a more sub tropical asiatic type.
