 Today representatives from every nation on earth have jetted to Glasgow, in the wake of enormous fuel emissions, for a climate conference where they all agree that man is totally to blame for global warming. Yet, climatology is complex. When I was born in 1947 England, December saw snow piled high and people skated on rivers. Scientists then warned of a new ice age. But that couldn’t be blamed on industry because most CO2 emissions then were small. And what caused the ice age billions of years ago, long before man? Most believe that the causes were the movement of continents and volcanism. So, as world leaders jet in, smug like children that there’s only one reason for today’s climate change, ask them what caused the ice age before man and industry appeared on earth? None can answer. What then should they debate today? Forget dismantling all of the improvements introduced during the industrial revolution and discuss how to move people away from danger areas like coasts, rivers, volcanoes etc and build/renovate all buildings on climate-resistant sticks, high above the ground.
