There was a seriously unfortunate moment on Countdown this afternoon

    Hard to argue that our climate is not changing.
    And we have done zilch.
    Worst in Europe and Scotland is best.

    @bill clear: For millions of years, every year, seasons have not been the same as before. I am not saying climate change isn’t happening, but you cannot blame climate change because it’s cold in March.

    @Stephen O’Donoghue: the world is a living evolving organism. Climate changes have and will always happen
    But I do believe human behaviour is accelerating the process.
