Benefits of Climate Change

Today’s news papers (for example the Guardian) have been talking about the report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which says that, for those really slow on the uptake, climate change is influenced by human behaviour.

(before anyone gets all hyper, the title was a joke – it is not trying to imply there are any “good things” about Global Warming. If you were offended – get over yourself.)

More on the Weather…
A while ago I posted about how “uncommonly warm” the weather was for February. This got me thinking about the recent weather in general, and it seems fairly safe for me to say that despite the one or two days where it was cold enough to sno…
