You may remember this popular post written by AM reader, Clive Francis, An Open Letter to the Chancellor. Clive has contributed another excellent piece as a guest post for the blog titled ‘Of Course Our Climate Is Changing‘.
At just over 10 pages long it is too big to upload as a user friendly post, so it has been converted to a PDF and is now available to download. But please do come back to this page to share your thoughts and comments. Many thanks Clive!

A very thoughtfull piece. But will any in government listen, given the vested interests.
An excellent summary without being too technical.
The only thing I would add is a reference to the more general problem of complexity. It is too easy for incompetent scientists to take part of a problem away from its complex context and make spurious claims under the guise of specialisation. This is essentially what happened with AGW and what the IPCC fostered.
Would you mind if I posted the link on my blog? Of course I will credit it to you. I feel strongly that these thoughtfull articles should be promulgated wildly. Otherwise how will the message ever get across to our political class.
Not at all TFE. Link away to your heart’s content.
E M Smith has a nice piece on ice ages and all the terminology and relates this to melting ice caps. It helps put todays climate into historical perspective.
