Default Damn Julia Slingo 'absurd', says Nigel Lawson

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."
