He should go back to the oil company who pays his salary. He should take the logic course he says we should go on. Claims climate can't be predicted (as the weather can't) and we can't modify the climate anyway, but wait for it (!) we should accept it's going to change - abandon Holland, shift Mediterranean crops to N. Europe ! Doesn't seem to consider modelling the climate to try and say when it might happen, so we can plan ! <[1]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4066189.stm> Should be working for the Bush govt, with this sort of logic !
