Climate Change Anyone?

I had an interesting conversation with the cab driver who drove me from Liverpool to Manchester airport today. He refuses to belive in climate change because "if the scientists are divided in their opinions about it, one better think twice about taking in that concept". Its another thing that I kept trying to explain to him that we scientists are no superhumans and we are not infalliable but I dont think he got that!

Today's report on the BBC had shown how life has come to a stand still in the midlands thanks to the wettest season in recorded history in the UK. Unsurpisingly, most flights to Heathrow were cancelled from Manchester leaving hundreds of us stranded in the airport with no flights out for the next couple days or so and incessent rain expected. And thanks to the 'very supportive' BA staff who had no suggestions to offer for alternative accommodation arrangements ("sorry we cant help you"), we had to find our way to some decent place for the night. No idea if the flight that I am put on (from Manchester via Abudhabi reaching my place just twenty four hours behind schedule (thats a blessing given that passengers behind me had to wait until Monday to catch their flight to Hongkong)) will even take off on time tomorrow.

Talk about climate change again and I will really kick you!
