I like the 'matter of fact' way that you put your arguments Nick. They are presented somewhat as a teacher would present 'facts' to a class of pupils. No matter how hard you try to represent the opposing views, using somewhat extreme examples from obscure websites, as a lunatic fringe, the fact remains that the majority of scientific opinion is on the side of global warming and over-population.
These are not my personal beliefs but, in the interest of balance, they most certainly should be given creedence.

As for AIDS being purposely introduced Pete, well........what can I say against such logic.......it's dumbfounding

I am always careful to give links, where possible, to the opinions, statements and data, to use the acronym IMHO (In My Humble Opinion), and to say "I believe something to be true". I don't believe I act like a school teacher. I hope not, anyway.  :-/

As for the "majority of scientific opinion being on the side of global warming", I would contest that.

But even if there were a consensus, my views concur with those of Michael Crichton:

"Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results."

So would I , IMO the reason to believe that the majority of scientists are agreed an AGW is that no atteneion is being paid to those who disagree. Just like the author of "Heavan and Earth" was rejected by mainstream publishers. AGW is the religion of the PC police. Nobody wants to disagree for fear of damaging their reputation, thats why many "celebrities" have also jumped on the band wagon to make themselves look better.

I'd love it if the whole globally warmed, over-populated(plus political correctness and a few other things) bandwagon fell off the road. But I doubt it will.

I found this, and I think it's true:

"Manhattan (population 1,634,795) has a square mileage of 22.96, resulting in 71,201 bodies per square mile.
World population is estimated at 6,706,993,152, and the square mileage of Texas is 268,820.
If the entire WORLD lived in Texas, the population density would equal 24,950 people per square mile, or approximately 30% that of Manhattan. Overpopulation is a myth, perpetuated by urban “intellectuals” who could not conceive of anyone living anywhere but New York, London, Tokyo, Los Angeles etc etc etc."

The other thing you need to remember is that the birthrates for many Western countries (including Russia) is actually falling.

I found this article very amusingly written:

"...then Mr. and Mrs. Peasant start remodeling the hovel, adding a rec room and indoor plumbing, replacing the emaciated old nag with a Honda Civic and driving to the mall in it, and next thing you know, instead of just having an extra yard of mead every Boxing Day at the local tavern and adding a couple more pustules to the escutcheon with the local trollop, they begin taking vacations in Florida...."
