No One Who Has Experienced The Intense

One Thing That Being A Scientist Has Taught Me Is That You Can Never Be Certain About Anything. You Never Know The Truth. You Can Only Approach It And Hope To Get A Bit Nearer To It Each Time. You Iterate Towards The Truth. You Don't Know It.

I Don't Think We're Yet Evolved To The Point Where We're Clever Enough To Handle A Complex A Situation As Climate Change. The Inertia Of Humans Is So Huge That You Can't Really Do Anything Meaningful.

We Thought We Knew 20 Years Ago. That Led To Some Alarmist Books – Mine Included – Because It Looked Clear-cut, But It Hasn’t Happened. The Climate Is Doing Its Usual Tricks. There’s Nothing Much Really Happening Yet. We Were Supposed To Be Halfway Toward A Frying World Now. The World Has Not Warmed Up Very Much Since The Millennium. Twelve Years Is A Reasonable Time. The Temperature Has Stayed Almost Constant, Whereas It Should Have Been Rising - Carbon Dioxide Is Rising, No Question About That.

I'm A Scientist, Not A Theologian. I Don't Know If There Is A God Or Not. Religion Requires Certainty.

I'm Not A Pessimist, Even Though I Do Think Awful Things Are Going To Happen.
