Gorge on climate change denial, just make sure you know it's poison
As the IPCC readies their report on global warming, the deniers are out in force
I had what some practised dieters call a 'cheat day' the other evening. I binged, I gorged, I guzzled. After years of trying to restrain myself and not read stories that deny or poke fun at climate change, I browsed a ton of them. It was pretty decadent. I learnt that the ice-caps aren't melting. I learnt that the climate isn't actually heating at all. I learnt that a cadre of scientists (sorry, 'boffins') were falsifying consensus and pushing governments to invest in ludicrous green schemes that only hurt people like me in the long run. Then I looked outside. A cool, dusky breeze brushed across the pavement. For a moment, everything felt so right. I could join them. Be the junior J. Clarkson.
Given time the high wore off. And as of this morning, with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change about to convene (Lord, how boring just to type that), I'm feeling a little more like my old self. Back to the grind. Back to expressing support for the scientists working on a problem that neither seems all that present (it's a lovely Autumnal Monday) nor all that simple. I looked at the leaked briefings for the IPCC report, which comes out on Friday. It will say that the chances of man being the main cause of global warming since the 1950s have upped from 90 per cent to 95 per cent. So nothing new.

............and there's far, far, far less ice than there was twenty years ago, or should be, or will be if
we continue to let nonsensical objections and pseudoscience drown out the boring, dangerous truth.
