The Live Earth concerts that took place on every continent on Earth at the weekend, ostensibly to save the planet from Climate Change, were characterised by huge public indifference. TV audiences, as well as interest in general, was disappointing and it seems that the general public have yet to be convinced by the near hysterical stream of propaganda that tries to sell the idea of Climate Change as the ultimate hazard that faces humanity at this point in time.
And why would the public be convinced when the evidence of their eyes is telling them that absolutely nothing unusual is going on. The world still continues, with the occasional hot or cold spell, and once in awhile we encounter particularly turbulent conditions, when - like as happened recently (see here for details) - nature seems to step up a gear and we get a spate of extreme weather circumstances.
However as this site has frequently illustrated these extreme events can easily be interpreted. Not it should be stressed as a consequence of swirling clouds of carbon dioxide, but simply a matter of easily explained weather phenomenon the like of which have been occurring for thousands of years. In addition there is the role played by the Sun, whose influence on this planet is paramount in maintaining life on this Earth.
See here why Solar fluctuations may have led to a recent spell of extreme weather worldwide.
Reassuringly it seems that vast numbers of the general public are struggling to see the logic of Climate Change when the evidence of their eyes says otherwise. And as this site will never tire of showing this ingrained public scepticism is extremely well founded.
