More Stormy Weather Ahead

As we all pick up the pieces after last week’s storm, it probably comes as little comfort to learn that, with global warming, such storms are likely to become more common. That’s according to a new report about to be published.

 

I think that majority opinion in the UK is about to accept that global warming is real and a threat. The reason is less to do with authoritative reports, and rather more to do with the fact that a media figure, whom they all instinctively trust, has been on the telly in the last week with, not one, but three programmes saying that, basically, we’re all screwed. Yup, no less a figure than Sir David Attenborough has announced, in those grave tones of his, that "climate change is the biggest threat facing our planet". So it must be true. 

 

Now that the experiment is over, I can now remove the climate modelling client from my computer and switch it off when I’m not using it. There, that’s my bit to reduce my carbon footprint.
