You clearly have a different definition of zero to the rest of the world. There is no doubt that the world is warming, and that CO2 from emissions is causing it. More CO2 = more warming. If you want to prove otherwise you'll need to rewrite the laws of physics. No? I thought not. Well, Mike, thank you for stopping by to offer your “wisdom”.

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 04:23:36 +0000 http://hot-topic.co.nz/?p=299#comment-440 There is zero actual scientific proof that human CO2 causes global warming - only computer models, (written by people who have an incentive to keep saying there is a 'problem' - to stay employed spending our tax money). It IS true that termites emit 10 to 20 times more greenhouse gas than human fossil fuel. So wouldn't it be cheaper to kill all the termites than to starve people with this carbon emission reduction crap? Google Al Gore + Maurice Strong ... it's all a scam.

More often than not press releases appear as articles in newspapers that have had no real journalistic value added to them. I have just got back from Europe and miss the excellent newspapers their. At least the newpaper press their adds value to its readership. Another example of lack of balanced and well researched media coverage in New Zealand.

Or even an internet-connected PC they could use to check Garth's gibberish? Does the Herald not have a science editor they can run these articles past?
