When I was a "hobby bobby" in England many years ago, if I had radioed in that a group of people with hammers was damaging property, the entire police station would have turned out immediately to arrest them. Nowadays I would expect the firearms squad to turn out, but who knows?

Climate Change: Definition

The popular but false belief that climatic factors (temperature, wind, rain, ice formation) are achieving more extreme peaks and troughs than in pre-industrial times. Includes the false belief that Carbon Dioxide levels have a major influence on global temperatures. (Actually, the effect is insignificant compared with that of sun, clouds and volcanic ash.) Includes the false belief that sea levels are rising significantly because of melting ice caps and will continue to do so.
