In particular the use of the fuzzy term “climate sceptic”. I don’t think Mr Fielding or anyone else doubts the climate is changing, it has been changing for over 4 billion years so why should it stop now? The question is rather to what extent human emissions of greenhouse gases are contributing to the current situation. It would certainly be rather a shame to spend vast amounts of money reducing carbon emissions if it is actually not going to make much difference. Rather spend the money on chocolate, or perhaps more sensibly mitigating the effects of climate change, because it’s going to change whether we like it or not! No…on second thoughts let’s go with increased chocolate funding.
