Everything is the result of climate change we are told- I take issue wit a lot of it because the climate is a dynamic force that has never stood still anyway and most of these people make forecasts and draw conclusions on such a vast scale that they - you- an I - will be long gone by the time they are proven right or wrong so its easy to say stuff with conviction always knowing you are never going to have to answer for it.
If someone got a country to invest in measures at huge expense based on say a 10 year period I'd have more respect because they would have to answer for their mistake. In 2009 work began on flood defences to prevent another "one in a 1000 year event " flooding of the city. Three years after completion they were found to be inadequate. The answer ? Would have been even worse if they hadn't built them !! Hardly a decent answer for those flooded after the reassurances they have had.
In my view we need to accept things have are and will change and look at how we deal with the effects not try and arrest and even reverse climate change.
And my point btw was that Al Gore's film points to the diminishing ice shelf as an effect of climate change
