Lots of people have views on climate change. As subjects to disagree about I find it hard to think of weather forecasting as "loathsome". We have a local weather forecasting service and they frequently report stuff the "popular media" "create climate change hysteria" about has happening before from their 150 years of records. Sensationalism sells papers and ratings. To point out the facts are being sensationalised does not make someone loathsome. To hold a different view to the "popular media" does not make someone loathsome. Well; certainly not if the focus is weather especially given the acceptance of agro chemical behaviour having a more immediate influence on the future of the planet. Inflicting pain, harm, suffering to people or animals, especially shooting them for fun; that imho is loathsome although i know that some people think it acceptable.

• weather forecasting is not the same as predicting climate change, this video may help illustrate the difference http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/02/weather-versus-climate-change-cosmos-video_n_5432366.html
• around 97% of publishing climate scientists agree that humans are responsible for climate change, rather than being overstated by media sensationalism, some argue that the media underplay the case by wanting to present 'both sides' of the argument and end up giving the 3% dissenters equal airtime to the 97% consensus
• is thought that if climate change proceeds at its present rate, people are likely to die from floods, famine, heat or cold
• somebody might reasonably consider it loathsome if an unqualified but persuasive individual argues against the majority view of experts so successfully that efforts to mitigate climate change are so diminished that people suffer and die
• weather forecasting is not the same as predicting climate change (I know I've said that already but I thought the point was so important that it was worth repeating ;-))

What do we know about this guy? This presentation is powerful

Funnily enough i was just watching this video on Youtube and the link brought me here.

The Grain fed to farm animals is a bit worrying.

The biggest worry is how all the food industry and Drug companies seem to be involved in the biggest con in history.

Making us all ill with their food then selling us the drugs to cure us.

But the drugs don't work and as he says they just keep us alive so they can keep selling us more drugs.

It's costing the NHS billions it cannot afford. Showing me that the Government are in on it too.

How many MPs have shares in drug companies?

Remember what happened with Low Carb High Fat, researchers that wish to study it did not get funding and could not get their work published. This is still going on with LCHF and the establishment trying to exclude anyone who believes in LCHF. Doing a PHd related to LCHF may still exclude the researcher from getting a job.

Lots of people on this site think the same is going on with Statins and their side effects, I yet to make my mind up on this.

I disagree with Robin Willcout on Climate Change, but we must always be open to “group think” in the establishment stopping any other ideas being published, hence counting the number of publications that keep to the establishment view is not a valid way to decide if the establishment is right. (We see this in the UK with bankers saying the top bank staff must be paid a lot, and everyone going along with it.)

Until LCHF becomes the establishment we can expect that “outsiders” will be much more likely to embrace LCHF.
