"I think too many people accept what they are told without thinking for themselves."

Sadly TH many people are prepared to express themselves without the background/knowledge/ or research capabilities to be able to present a logical argument  based on fact.
Supply some facts regarding your statement regarding our used tyres : "Did you also know that most are then shipped to places like India to be burnt"  It is nonsense.

"more than 20 million passenger tyres require disposal in Australia each year. Only 23% of these tyres are recycled. A huge 64% are landfilled and roughly 14% are dumped illegally."

As for global warming, allow me to indicate (yet again) that natural global climate cycles take  100,000 years, this debate concerns accelerated increase in CO2 levels with associated mirror rises in global surface/air temperatures over only 100years.

You quote a short term (experimental) forecast, from the UK's met Office, based upon  a few years observations whist ignoring : "The warming trend has not gone away," Julia Slingo, the Met Office's Chief Scientist told a newspaper. The temperature predicted for 2013-2017 is 0.43 degrees above the average between 1971-2000."


here you have a few years temperatures from the met Office TH, as savaged by a newspaper (where is the X axis scale?)

Here you have a  relevant  period TH, also from the Met Office.:

Trend over a suitable time period TH, that is what matters, together with scientific examination and explanation from credible professional bodies.

TH research the CSIRO or the BOM, because the UK Daily Mail does not qualify
