mean less flooding. There are many more worthy examples to work from and they are more workable and laudable than Kyoto.

There is also an important message about data usage. Most data on storms, temperatures, glaciers, polar bears and penguins' deaths, have been misleading or ignored. The Medieval Warm period (never a bad word said about that!) and the Little Ice Age have had more of an effect upon modern times than reported, but the data is often misconstrued or details unreported by those wanting to present a picture consistent' with the supposed consensus.

For instance, hurricane strengths have not increased over the last century. There was more damage (measured in today's terms) during the early 1900s than today; then there was a lull in strong hurricane activity between the 60s and 80s, until it picked up again. Some scientists only measure from the 1970s, with uncorrected data, so of course it looks like strength has increased, but it ignores natural cycles within storm systems. The same is seen with glaciers melting; many of which were melting before any effects from 20th century climate change and were retreating from their absolute maximums gained during the Little Ice Age, rather than being permanent glaciers on their way out. Depending on populations and territory, more polar bears are killed through hunting rather than by climate change, and most penguin populations are increasing. In both cases, scientists have taken isolated incidences and presented them without context to the wider populations of polar bears and penguins. This selective data splicing is disingenuous, especially when it gets re-reported and becomes fact. So why all this doom and gloom, eagerly spread by scientists? Who does this benefit?

Well, the media does play up to this, reporting worse case scenarios and Hollywood blockbusters have also shown extreme havoc caused by climate change, but their agendas are to sell news, or to sell tickets; the worse, the bigger, the better. Politicians have also joined the green bandwagon, begging for Kyoto to be implemented, knowing that they cannot deliver on a promise that will damage their own economies if not perceptively planned and enacted. But the media and politicians are not to blame. They have no control over the climate change agenda; they surrendered and are in the hands of the ultimate climate change stewards.

There is money to be made in climate change and the private industry is reaping the rewards. It is in their best interests
