[Marxism] Alan Woods's "expert"

[Paddy Apling]

On the contrary I must congratulate the In Defense of Marxisn web-site, for 
publishing this article and beginning  a discussion on the fad of Western 
governments - so-called anthropometric global warming - which they are now 
calling climate change - since they have to admit there has been no global 
warming for the last 10 years according to the surface measurmeents and much 
longer according to the information from satellites.

In my experience most people suspect the whole attitude to governments to 
carbon-dioxide emission is just a crude way of extending further taxes and 
control on every aspect of our life - and are just about fed up with the 
concentration of the media on it.

The main arguments, much extended with scientific references by the author 
of the article referred to, have been on my web-site since 3nd November 2996 
at http://apling.freeservers.com/GlobalWarming.htm and my attempts to raise 
the question on left-wing web-sites have met with such opprobrium, and lack 
of substantive argument, that I have long given up trying to deal with such 
closed minds.

No on can deny that climate is changing - it always has and will continue to 
do so -whatever governments claim to be doing about it on the basis of the 
output of compute forecaste untested against real world data - which I am 
most of my friends regard as GIGO - garbage in, garage out, despite the vast 
amount of government funds extended on them.  It seems to me all of the 
usual attempt of governments to create a climate of fear.
