Lawson made it clear he has not changed his mind about the effects of
climate change, arguing bad weather is nothing new.
"You'll see the Met Office's own report denies it," he said. "It is
just this Julia Slingo woman, who made this absurd statement, but their
own official statement makes it clear there is no proven link whatever.
"There's been bad weather before. And anyhow, climate change is a
global phenomenon, and you don't attribute local things like this
necessarily to some global picture.
"The fact is, there is no evidence whatever to link it."

SHE SHOULD BE SACKED IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!
Try reading this about Lord Lawson and decide whether he is an entirely
independent commentator on global warming. You might also like to
compare his scientific qualifications with those of Julia Slingo.

Nothing would convince these people that they may not be correct. It's a
form of cognitive dissonance. They know what they believe is highly unlikely
to happen, yet they know it will happen and will not in any way acknowledge
the low likelihood that their beliefs will prove correct, even though almost
every scientist on the planet says they are wrong and every scientific
institution on earth tells them the same.
Despite this and despite their generally poor levels of; understanding and
knowledge about the subject, intelligence and even grasp of English, they
know they are better informed than all these other people, who they take
every opportunity to denigrate and attack.
Weird, but true.
I wonder if Niger Lawson understands the chaotic nature of the Earth's
atmosphere. What is worrying for the future Earth is that nobody can
reliably predict how the atmosphere will react to any changes imposed on it.
Chaotic systems can suddenly change dramatically as a result of a very
modest initial perturbation, and the atmosphere is, without doubt, being
perturbated.
