[John Whitworth]

Here's an idiot's guide by a non-scientist.

1. Is the climate changing? Yes/No

2. If Yes then is it because of something we humans are doing? Yes/No

3. If Yes then can we reverse it? Yes/No

4. If Yes then should we reverse it? Yes/No

5. If Yes then what do we do?

1. Yes it does seem bloody wet round here. I'll give this a tentative yes.

2-5. I haven't the slightest idea. And don't tell me. I still won't have the slightest idea. I have to take it on trust.

6. Why should I trust you?

I'm Al Gore.Of course you can trust me.
You're a politician. I wouldn't trust you to tell me the time.

I'm a scientist. Of course you can trust me.
The why do you keep on LYING to me?

I'm not lying? Why should I lie?
For money. For career advancement. Because you are so certain you are right that you can't be bothered to try and convince fools like me. Scientists have behaved in this way in the past.

Scientists A,B,C,D,E...... all agree with me.
What about scientists Y and Z?
They are not real scientists.
How so?
Because if they were real scientists then they would agree with me.

That is as far as I have got with this one.
