Another underqualified environmental correspondent

Timmy notes another piece of half-witted environmental journalism, this time from Fiona Harvey of the FT. Ms Harvey notes that the Thames Barrier is being raised more often than in the past (climate change is the culprit of course), while apparently being ignorant of the fact that the south-east of England is sinking at 2.3mm per year.

Fiona Harvey has a degree in English Literature from Cambridge University.

It figures. One can't help but notice that there is something of a theme developing here?

Never mind the science, feel the empathy.

I understand that the RSPB are asking for the government to help them set aside land for waders, etc., because 'large areas of Britain will be underwater'. Mmmm...
It is also my understanding that wild creatures react to natural events in an appropriate way. I'm surprised the folk at the RSPB haven't twigger this.
