SJB's last hurrah

Bishop Hill in Beddington, Climate: other

It is Sir John Beddington's last week in the job, and he has chosen to take one last opportunity to speak out on climate change. He is making a raft of media appearances today, having been on the Today Programme on Radio 4 and BBC Breakfast telly already. There will be more on Radio 5 later on. I gather that the TV and Radio 5 will be speaking to Benny Peiser after 8am.

I'll post links and reaction as I get them.

Olive Heffernan (formerly?) of Nature Climate Change is shocked (shocked!) that the BBC might mention the views of a climatologist about climate. She presumably feels that a population biologist turned adminstrator has views that are simply unassailable:

John Beddington on BBC Breakfast talking on change. Presenter wheeling out arguments by Richard Lindzen. Oy vey. Hard to believe.
