I remember a while back when Gardner was still doing his old radio show I phoned in once on the whole climate change debate & said that because environmentalists have made such a big deal about climate change its actually distracting from other environmental issues. In fact the whole climate change thing has probably made it harder to campaign on other environmental issues because people have kind of tied all environmental issues in with climate change, when climate change is basically just a theory & there are other proven environmental concerns etc.

I'm brave enough to admit I'm a climate change agnostic I'm not smart enough to know if the earth's climate is fucked. But I know the sense in preventing pollution, in not hunting animals into extinction, in not being over reliant on fossil fuels. In fact my support for renewable energy isn't for environmental reasons but because it would lessen the excuse for war.

I'll admit my suggestion for Gard to debate say a representative of Greenpeace or the Green Party is somewhat mischievous as it would be entertaining if nothing else having opinions that polar going for ir it in a debate, but one never knows maybe there is in fact some common ground & if so that would also be good to hear.
