What a load of old ^%$*s

Keith (Southend)

The likelihood is that we will have a warmer future and that it will
have particular impacts. If we know this now, don't plan for this
likely change and it happens, how will future generations feel?

Should we do nothing because a small minority feel it's not going to
happen? Or should we trust the vast majority of scientists, including
those at the Hadley Centre, who have produced the research to back
these probable and possible scenarios (always possible/probable, the
Hadley Centre/MetO, IPCC and other bodies always deal with likelihoods
and probabilities when discussing climate change).

That's the choice the politicians have to make on the advice that they
are getting. I'd make the choice to prepare, ignore the sceptics and
conspiracists, but keep up to date with current research, employing
the best people possible to advise on this - as would most scientists
and most politicians. If things do change over the next 20 years,
cooler, or even warmer, we should react to the research that shows
those changes happening. That's what the current state of climate
research shows us and that's informing how we should proceed.
