Has anyone seen this extraordinary interview with Mike Hulme, who is Head of the UK's Tyndall Centre? Apart from anything else, his treatment of the 2005 Exeter conference, funded I think by NERC, is somewhat disrespectful. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6115644.stm Given the scenarios Chris Keene has just posted, what point might he be trying to make? Or is this what he actually thinks? Would 5 degrees not be a potential catastrophe? I have already seen this interview used by a climate sceptic to argue that Stern is just alarmist. Chris – aren’t you at East Anglia? Do you have a view?
