Mr Anthony Butler
Rather nasty thing to say “OTM Spins in his grave while beseeching God... "Oh Lord, why did you have to take young Tommy so soon and leave this one on the earth... " What the hell do you know about Old Tom anyway.
AS for this bollocks about Global warming. No one knows not even you. I am reminded of the talk in the 1960’s of the new pending mini Ice Age about the spread over the Earth, that turned out to be an even hotter 1970’s than expected. Then the 1980’s all seem to settle but by the end up came the hot weather and water reserves very low, running into the 1990’s. Then we move into the 21st Century we are getting mixed messages. But do all our scientist’s agree, of course NOT its still open for debate not to mention the farce of was it Essex Uni who caused some problem last year knowingly pass on false info to back up global warming. The point is no one knows, not even the gifted Anthony Butler, defender of free speech and global warming.
Seems you missed the cull, but with people like you this site is even more limited and restricted because you seem to know it all but alas all you are good for is to vomit crap.
There is a difference in not agreeing with someone and being blood rude about them and introducing dead family members.
What a nice man you are not

Melvyn,
The point is people do know about global warming... it is real and according to 99.9% of the scientific data available it is caused mostly by our activity here on earth. (The other .1% percent being either inconclusive or paid for by the Cato Institute)
The best scientific knowledge available tells us there have been fluctuations in the earth's temperature since as far back as we can accurately establish, but never at the scale or speed of what's happened since the Industrial Revolution. It is ironic that many people in various parts of the world insist that people live their life according to whatever someone called Jesus or Mohammed or Brigham Young or.. allegedly said hundreds or even thousands of years ago, yet want to call into question everything that the finest scientific minds of today say simply because it doesn't fit into their world view.
Go ahead and have your own ignorant opinions, but don't fault anyone else for believing in what has actually been proved or calling you out when you try to infect people with your bull---t theories.
As far as Old Tom Morris goes, since he probably spent a lot more of life outside than either you or me dealing with the elements, I imagine he would be a lot more sensitized as to the impact our activities are having on the environment. That's why farmers were the first environmentalists. That being the case, he'd probably whack you upside the head with a baffin' spoon for trading on his name instead of following in his footsteps.
