    Take it you've never read Homage to Catalonia by Orwell? Catalonia wasn't perfect but it was an successful example of anarcho-syndicalism. A more modern example would be Rojava in Kurdistan.

    Natural, yes, with inevitable cycles of hot and cold over the eons. Man-made, locally, to a minuscule extent, yes. Globally, no. It's a scam promulgated by major companies. When will some idiot government suggest plugging all the volcanoes, etc.?

    Yes, you take it right, I never have, nor am I ever likely to.
    I take it you haven't read Horace Lamb's 'Hydrodynamics'? It's a long-time classic, and a favourite of mine. You should try it ... it's about real-world stuff, affecting all our lives. And its contents are unlikely to be affected by the passage of time.

    What I really don't understand about conspiracy theorists is the faith they place in the ability of governments?!?!

    I mean governments are really ****ty at keeping things secrete. Assange, Snowdon, Bernstein etc have been exposing US secretes for decades.

    Yet some people still believe that the US government is actually capable of keeping fake moon landings, twin tower demolitions and alien space ships a secret.

    They couldn't even invent some fake WMDs to justify the Iraq war to keep the dodgy dossier on message.

    So you're saying the Spanish Civil War was just a figment of people's imagination, that it wasn't real-world stuff?

    That's exactly the point, they haven't kept any of the above a secret ! That's why we know about them. Now they have been exposed they simply flatly deny.

    Often find when deceivers are devoid of any intelectual argument they resort to abuse or violence.

    Volcanoes bang out less than 350 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. Man releases 30 to 40 billion tonnes. Whilst it's true that the planet has been both hotter and cooler in the past, it's the rate of change that we're going to struggle with.

    You won't have to struggle or deal with anything, but your grandchildren will.

    You'll need a big ****ing cork. As long as you're aware that "Globally, no. It's a scam promulgated by major companies." is nonsense, we're on the same page.
