I have.
There is the same amount of CO2 in the atmosphere now as when records began.
0.0039%
Game over it all a big con.
Is this not the gas thats causing 'climate change'.
And your response is !!!!!

I won't get into a debate on this but I will offer what I know on the subject of climate change, which is a little different, just to add some context.

Around 20 years ago I got to know a very senior scientist working in the climate change facility at the UEA in Norwich. This is where the UK does most of it's work in this area and is a world leading centre. They advise the UK, and do contractual work for many other governments, about the impact of climate change, where it will manifest itself and how. It's also where their frustration at not being taken seriously led them to overstate their case on one occasion causing a huge political row and causing some to believe it is all a scam, which was very unfortunate.

The relationship was personal and close, so I knew her character and devotion to her work. She is modest, of impeccable integrity and extremely hard working. She knew back then that this is a hugely serious problem but that the impact cannot be accurately forecasted other than within a range of outcomes. Their work was to narrow that range.

I well remember our conversations about the political problems that lay ahead and how governments, whilst aware of the dangers, would find it hard to convince the people to make the changes needed to manage their futures safely. She once dropped into a conversation that she had come from a dinner with Michael. Michael who I asked? It turned out to be Michael Meacher who was the responsible Minister at the time.

She left no room at all for any thoughts that climate change isn't real. She knew beyond the slightest doubt that it is and that whilst natural variation is also real, which complicates the analysis, the effects produced by us are significant and will produce catastrophes unless prepared for.

We have lost touch. The last time I had contact she was living in Beijing advising their government, after a spell in Australia and New Zealand doing the same.

I think that both here, and in many parts of the world, we have done rather better than I might have expected 20 years ago. I did not expect to see the age of the electric car quite so close or wind turbines in quite as big a number. We have a lot now, but I have been in California, Australia and New Zealand in the past 18 months and they are all on board too.

So I am very pleased to see the kids being taught to take this subject seriously and encouraged to think and act politically. Doing so on the last day before a half term is hardly going to hurt their academic education and could do wonders for their political engagement.
