Writer fails to note evidence

Well, Mr Pullimore, of Shrewsbury, has certainly given pause for thought to all those climate scientists with his letter telling us climate change is cyclical and we can do nothing about it.

All those ice core samples from Greenland (where the ice sheet has lasted 11,000 years), from Svalbard and from Antarctica which show a greater concentration of atmospheric C02 and methane than ever before; the report from the Climatology Department of the University of Colorado to the Inuit Circumpolar Conference which said that the North Polar ice cap is at its thinnest since the last Ice Age; the fact that this year Lewis Gordon Pugh swam in open water at the North Pole, when 49 years ago the USS Skate surfaced in July through three metres of ice at the same place; all this is as naught, and can be scrapped because Mr Pullimore it's natural and it always happens.

Mr Pullimore and his coterie of climate change deniers resemble more and more those princes of the Renaissance Church who, in the face of all the evidence, maintained that the sun orbited the earth.
