From Peter Otway's letters it seems he believes we are all going to fry or drown.
With all these fanciful, universal subjects the question must be asked ‘Who benefits'???
And then follow the money!

In 1972, Zbigniew Brzezinski, US Secretary of State published a book titled ‘Between Two Ages'. In the book he said that weather manipulation would be one of the new weapons of war!

In the mid-1970's both USA and Russia began experimenting with weather manipulation and control.
In 1989, the Club of Rome, another of those un-elected global think tanks, decided that –in the absence of a Soviet threat,- the threat of Global Warming would be an excellent ploy to unite the world's population against a new enemy.

This unilateral decision served several purposes:-
[a] It disguised the fact that since the 1970's America and Russia had been manipulating global weather patterns.
[b] It scared the living daylights out of much of the population, leaving the multinational corporations free to pollute the atmosphere and the oceans with obnoxious gases other than CO2.
[c] The ensuing Carbon Taxes provided a further source of income for financially beleaguered governments.
[d] Provided yet another profit source for speculating corporations on the international Futures/Derivatives markets.

In the 18th Century Europe survived a mini Ice Age. If Mother Nature did throw a wobbly and global temperatures rose between 1.5 and 6 degrees C, we would surely adjust to it. We would simply be moving from a temperate zone to a sub-tropical zone.

Nations to the north of us tolerate far higher temperatures than we do.

Anthropogenic global warming does exist, but it's caused by the military/political elements in the superpowers; not by us peasants burning fossil fuels!
