The reactions to this interview are exactly what I expected when I saw Alex had interviewed Daniel Pinchbeck.
The arguments against AGW always seem to involve ignoring vast amounts of data, being selective with which sources you believe, and a belief in some sort of 'global agenda' by 'them' (who is 'them'?) and a refusal to acknowledge the amount of money to be made from large corporations from not taking climate change seriously. Barely any country has made any real serious effort to tackle climate change, and fossil fuel industries are still very large and powerful. You don't think Oil companies don't stand to gain from the denial or inaction on climate change?
I think we also need to take related issues seriously, if we don't take AGW seriously, we ignore the overuse of finite resources, the amount of people killed by air pollution, and the fact we have an unsustainable economy and food system. I know some people don't believe in ocean acidification - people who have been to the Great Barrier Reef disagree, but what do my globalist friends know huh!?!
Somebody mentioned the biggest cause of deforestation is cutting down trees for biofuel, it's not, it's trees cut down for animal agriculture. Our love for beef is destroying the amazon rainforest.
At the end of the day most people much smarter then me who are just normal people accept AGW, no real serious effort has been made to tackle it, and if we don't tackle it and it's real, we lose much more then if we do do something about it.
