The BBC have been polling people about climate change and have come up with some interesting results. As they say, 'Climate scepticism is 'on the rise'.' Well there have certainly been some disappointing news stories about the science which seem to show, more than anything else, that scientists are human, make mistakes and don't always handle the resulting publicity well. Oh yes, and it's been cold. Really quite cold. In the UK. Despite this I have no doubts myself that the climate is changing, and the causes are predominantly our activities. I occasionally wander over and have a look at 'Climate Denial Crock of the Week' by Peter Sinclair. His recent video is, 'It's so Cold, there can't be Global Warming.' It's well worth a look.
There was a great sequence in The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Feb 9th which showed a montage of cable news commentators saying the cold spell proved Al Gore was an idiot. It certainly proved something, but not about Gore...
