I’m of the view that climate change is happening and that the evidence suggests that man’s actions are playing a significant role in this. I’m even in favour of a carbon tax to deal with the problem. But I’ll admit that this is a political issue as well as a scientific, and one that will become more politicised in the years to come. All of which makes me wonder if it is wis...

A few faked email stats and suddenly the entire edifice of climate change is in the balance. There's no doubt that the revelation of less than pure scientific method being used by the prominent climate change boffins at the University of East Anglia has given a new lease of life to the climate change deniers, or climo-sceptics. But, as we get ready to see our leaders parading their concern at the ...

The Guardian has one of its climate change scare scoops for us all to panic about today. Their good friend and climate change guru, Professor Robert Watson has held court and it is clear from what he says that we are all doomed. The UK should take active steps to prepare for dangerous climate change of perhaps 4C according to one of the government's chief scientific advisers. In policy areas

The BBC reports that "Gordon Brown is "unequivocal" about the scientific case for action against climate change, No 10 has said, ahead of the forthcoming Copenhagen summit." But there isn't a scientific case for policy action against climate change. There...

As ministers from 189 countries gather in Poland here to hammer out a new climate change treaty, advancement is delayed by the absence of one delegation: the team that will forge Barack Obama's climate policy.

To dismiss the implications of climate change based on an error about the rate at which Himalayan glaciers are melting is an act of astonishing intellectual legerdemain. Yet this is what some doubters of climate change are claiming. But the reality is that our understanding of climate change is based on

This morning, Tim blogged about the enemies of the next Conservative government. One of his entries was: "The climate change industry or energy consumers. One of these groups will end up unhappy. The Tory leadership can keep the climate change...

I've been rather a sceptic about global warming, Al Gore and man-made climate change but this article from today's Daily Mail makes me think there could be something about it. This could be the wettest August since ..... 1912! And as we all know 1976 was the driest since records began (in 1913 presumably, because the archive was lost in the floods of August 1912).
