Climate's changed before
It's the sun
It's not bad
There is no consensus
It's cooling
Models are unreliable
Temp record is unreliable
Animals and plants can adapt
It hasn't warmed since 1998
Antarctica is gaining ice

  1. The BBC interviews Antonio Guteres, the head of the UN about Covid 19.  At the end he says we need to learn from the virus experience and use what we learn to respond to the challenge of climate change.

    I thought it was important that climate change action was so strongly supported.
