Now I could accept differing opinions on Climate Change and environmental issue, but after that you and me are going to fight  ::

so you were either a sanitarian or a sewer plant operator, nothing wrong with either as they are important jobs.

Both involve managing crap, something we've seen quite a bit of in this thread

Crap is right! Shrek gets his info from Koch bros paid "studies", studies designed to discredit real science. Hasn't fooled anyone paying attention, only right wing, pro corporate zealots.
I bet he's got Fox news on 24/7. You Brits/Aussies know Fox news, right? Rupert Murdoch owned/Roger Ailes managed? You must be so proud ... they've done such a nice job in the UK! 
Their motto is "Fair and Balanced"!
Others are being tricked by little companies like Exon/Mobil, who are now being investigated by US Feds involving covering up facts they knew regards global warming going back to the 1970's. Gee, what a surprise. 
It's clear (from their own employees and internal memos) they knew then what was happening (lots of documented studies) and saw clear patterns, had the data... and then set out to cover up facts, discredit legit science and use FEAR and bullshit to push forward their agenda. Have spent hundreds of millions to do this. Anyone surprised to see this?
I could post THOUSANDS of links refuting everything deniers posted here. All I would ask is read legit studies from established, accredited scientists, not crack pot right wing nut jobs we've got stinking up this thread.

Oh dear
There is quite a bit of hysteria in the pub bar tonight.
Fortunately, for those who live in India, China and Russia, their governments have pretty much said that they will be ignoring the mass climate alarm of western "civilisation".
Didn't Pres Obama say something similar before the non-binding conference in Paris?

this has what to do with the topic at hand?
People who own stacks of bikes impress me not in the slightest, I would state why but why bother?

Gee,ice discus[/quote] yea, the articles I posted up clearly came from faux news, you know the same company which posts skeptical science, live science, Forbes, bloomberg as well as the university studies I reference.
as I mentioned to another member in here earlier, you would do well to read something other than opinion nonsense. Perhaps you could try reading some actual studies yourself? It goes miles for having an adult conversation, and is far more pleasant than talking to chicken little.

Here's a thought from a self-educated scientist
 Nature is our kindest friend and best critic in experimental science if we only allow her intimations to fall unbiased on our minds. Michael Faraday, 1791 – 1867

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
