Minority Report

It should be no surprise that sceptics
are unscientific about climate change-
sceptics are unscientific about everything
except their own scepticism-which they like
to think is scientific. But for what the planet is worth
the weight of proof of global warming is now sufficient
for many to believe. Those who most readily accept it as fact
are mostly the consumers of goods from the manufacturers
who cause it, who can't see how to reduce their dependence.
As oceans laden with human detritous rise and heat up
whilst being overfished, it is proof enough for fishermen
of every nation state to wage war with each other over
shrinking fish stocks. The ice caps melting is proof of the need
to stop,  not a reason to drill for oil in the arctic, which is
the furthest yet we have got to science as alchemy in reverse.
