I wish to thank Peter Finlayson for his article on the subject of man-made global warming. I too have been feeling immensely sceptical about the whole notion, and I strongly suspect there is something pernicious behind the world-wide campaign.

While Mr Finlayson has raised objections to the dominant theory by means of sound arguments in a clear, rational manner, on the other hand, I am yet to hear a similar presentation of the scientific evidence in favour of man-made warming. Perhaps one day I will, but meanwhile I remain unsatisfied.
