Question is: why is it the generally the political right wing who most
seem inclined to debunk the theory?

Why is it that the left wing want to dress up their attempts to get
something for nothing at someone else's expense and to implement their
agenda of controlling every citizen's thoughts and actions as
"environmentalism"?

Melons, all of them, in the sense of watermelons. It's good to see
someone
like you coming out and admitting that most environmentalism and global
warming in particular is the hobby horse of the loony left.

The left lost the economic battle to capitalism, so they have been
looking
for new ways to achieve their ends. These currently a

They also need something to scare the masses and keep them in their
place now that the cold war is over. Global warming is happening. by
exhagerating and distorting the facts they have a convenient "bogey
man".

Exactly, certain things are siezed upon and used as tools to control our
behaviour.

I would like to know:-

How much global warming is anthropogenic and how much natural ( e.g. the
little ice age was caused by the sun, but what were the early middle ages
and Roman warm periods caused by? It wasn't C02. It was warm enough to farm
in Greenland in 1000AD, its not that warm now, how come ice caps didn't melt
and the atlantic conveyer halt then? )

Also, given the divergent predictions given by the computer models, just how
reliable are they? Even the scientists admit there are problems.

Also, what are the benefits of global warming? Noone ever mentions them, are
there none - is this the Goldilocks climate already then?

I note the left will jump onto a bandwagon when it sees one, look at George
Galloway and his prediliction for muslims, though the whole left seem
inclined that way, e.g. Ken Livingstone. They have spotted a support base
for their plans for gaining power, despite the fact that muslims are
notoriously conservative and make strange bedfellows for people who profess
to champion female and homosexual rights. Same with global warming, see a
bandwagon, work out some potential benefits from it for their designs on
utopian societies, hop on and ride it 'til the end, whatever the truth is.
