I agree with Jeremy Clarkson - climate change is rather boring

[ABetaDad]

I have never met Jeremy Clarkson but I feel a kinship to him. We were born within a few miles of each other, we both lived in the Cotswolds, we wear jeans are middle aged blokes and even tried to buy the same house once. I also agree with him in this article that the evidence for climate change is rather slim and it is "all rather boring".

As for the young women dumping manure on his drive ... well you tell me he is wrong in his opinion of them and on climate change.

Now before you all go foaming at the mouth. I have not driven a car in 20 years, took one flight this year and work from home. I just think the waffle about climate change is nonsense - very few people or indeed any Govt have the slightest intent in doing anything about it in their personal lives and are raher bored with the whole thing.

Extreme weather does happen, natural cycles do happen: it's whether what we are seeing now is a result of that or being exacerbated by our actions. Even the die-hard cynical old bastard lifelong meteorologist that I know is now convinced we are speeding up climate change, and he was a Clarkson-alike for years.

i might add, i'd welcome a wind farm on the hill behind my house, (yes, i have cable as the reception is crap anyway, and no, i don' think i'll be disturbed by the noise) I think thy're rather lovely.

maybe Iceland should repay its banking debt through geothermal power...

but i think it is fair to say there has been much bad science, and worse science-reporting going on, with hysterical overstatement of what might happen. for instance 'The Day After Tomorrow' scenario...a scenario which, i might add, could happen even if there were not one human on this planet. humanity doesn't control the weather - it may hav a contributory affect, but for the most part is a bunch of pretty helpless monkeys on a rock.

scientists should be asking questions Riven. That's what makes good science.
