You can't watch or listen to anything these days without hearing the words "as a result of climate change....".
Without getting into the whole argument about the causes of climate change what exactly is climate change?
Are natural oscillations in the world's weather patterns climate change? Or is climate change an observable change in the world's weather that can't be attributed to any natural phenomena?
Because if it's the latter, this cannot be statistically proven until the mean global temperature has risen by an amount that can't be explained by random factors alone and ISTR this rise was 1.5 degrees c and we are not there yet.
So, is talking about "climate change" as an absolute given fact bad science / shoddy journalism?
I can't even listen to the RHS podcasts anyomre without somebody sounding like Jo Brand lecturing me about "Climate Change" and I've had enough, to be frank.
