Perhaps that's the difference. As an Engineer, I was always taught to use the simplest language possible to get my point across. Language is simply a tool to convey meaning. You and Vic are going round playing word games trying to make yourselves look clever and superior. You both end up looking like pedants.

It is quite clear, from Davyboy's posts, that when he says "until there is proof of man-made climate change..." he means, "until the evidence is so convincing that nobody would question it, in the same way nobody questions the earth being a sphere, apple's fall off trees or I have five fingers on my left hand..." Rather than tackle the key point of his argument (i.e. aren't we/governments jumping the gun), you choose to tackle his choice of language.
