Doomed again

Why has it become common practice to release stories about man made global warming as if it is fact? No one has come up with conclusive evidence yet and the counter argument is never included.

That is a good question but not really connected with the article that you link to! That article said "The UK's carbon emissions rose by 1.25% last year, according to provisional government data". Are you disputing that?

The article did not make any claims about whether there might be global warming, or what might be causing it, if any.

So why, may I ask, do you think that it did?

Yes, because the drying out of the moors has caused more than that on its own.

And the reason they're drying out is because the water table is being lowered.

And the reason the water table is being lowered is for water for all the extra homes.

And the reason for that is fsck all to do with global warming.

2 points here.

1. Provisional Government data - can this really be trusted?

2. Even if this data is correct, it is a decrease in real terms when inflation is taken into account.

Not to mention cows' farts.

But my point is that the article only said that carbon emissions had increased; it did not say that this was causing global warming.

The OP condemned this article for claiming that global warming is man-made, but it did not say that.

I think you might have missed reading this bit.

While these figures are provisional, they underline why concerted effort to tackle climate change, both from government and wider society, is absolutely critical,"

what sort of percent has the population gone up by?

Actually I think water usage is a good indication of how much the population has increased. I find the government manipulation of population statistics is just so cack handed it is leading to bizarre results from different departments.

Apparently in the last 5 years the average water usage per person in the Uk has increased by 5 liters per day. Yeah, like everybody is using so much more...

Hence why I suggest the population statistics are bollox.
