Roger Harrabin has an interesting take on the Royal Society extreme weather report, picking up on what is in fact a fairly minor point in the report - namely the response to floods in the Somerset Levels - but in doing so putting things in a very stark light.
...the authors of a Royal Society report on resilience to extreme weather have told BBC News that they believe the campaign to protect the Levels prompted politics to override science.
They say those resident on the Levels may have to get used to living with floods, and they question whether investment to protect farmland is the best use of public money.
Some local farmers have reacted angrily, saying the academics fail to understand the complex geography of the Levels, and arguing that the water management system installed in the 1960s should be maintained.
But experts said that in a world of climate change, people must reconsider previous expectations for managing land.
In essence, the scientists seem to be saying that GCMs, with no proven ability to tell us anything about precipitation, are sending out a message that the Levels can no longer be maintained and protected from extreme rainfall.
You can see why the farmers might be a bit annoyed.
