Neil Collins finds flaws in the stand that global warming is going to be catastrophic and wonders if we should be worrying about global cooling instead.
"[To claim] that climate change is the gravest threat we face, is arrant nonsense...Kyoto ranks as the most expensive confidence trick pulled on the world since Yalta in 1945...The evidence that the world is warming is now pretty conclusive, but it's far from clear why, and the consequences are not obvious, either...A warming world will melt the icecaps, and raise sea level, won't it? Well, not so far...erhaps, instead of prostrating ourselves on the altar of global warming, we should be worrying about global cooling."
