During the next few days, our media will suffer a collective bout of hypochondria over global warming and the future of the Earth. But even this would be to accept the ecohype of the global warmers.
Climate always changes.
It would be newsworthy if climate stopped changing. A rise of between 0.3 and 0.6 degrees Centigrade during the last 150 years, although there has been cooling as well during this period. Some measures, such as those from corrected satellite readings, still indicate overall cooling. No single factor can account for climate variability. The biggest myth of all' The idea that climate change is brought about by just one or two factors, such as carbon dioxide emissions, is simply nonsense.
