What is it that bugs
you most when talking with someone about climate change?
Personally, discontent arises when those who are absolutely
unqualified to comment, make sweeping observations about the climate, weather
and present events and qualify those comments by pointing to one historic and isolated
similar event – it’s the “we live in a land a sweeping plains, droughts and
flooding rains” syndrome.
Many with an innate reluctance to change, to make the necessary
changes if we are to ever mitigate climate change draw some strange, and as time
will show, perverse comfort from their adherence to that Dorothea McKellar
inculcation.
Now, The Guardian has asked just a few of the world’s
leading climatologist and researchers a similar question and their responses
can be read in the story headed: “What really annoys scientists about the state of the climate change debate?”
