Rev Dr John Cameron - Saturday, November 28th, 2015

“In the 1970s climate scientists claimed a new Ice Age would cause global conflict and that the edge of a giant glacier would reach a line between London and Bristol. In fact from the middle 1970s we had a series of scorching summers and climate scientists went to ground only to return triumphantly in the late 1980s to proclaim catastrophic, man-made global warming. There were mock-ups of a flooded London while the IPCC warned in 1990 that rain forests and Himalayan glaciers would be gone and the Maldives submerged by the year 2000. All were still here in 2000 but the Met Office now predicted a snow-free UK and ice-free Arctic by 2010 – the year Prince Charles and Gordon Brown said we had five years to save the world. In late 2015, the world still spins, the first snow falls, the Maldives, rain forests, glaciers and icy Arctic remain and the revelations of the Climategate whistle-blower seem ever more relevant. ”
