Climate Change/Global Warming is a natural occurence and is governed by a range of factors. As I have mentioned in another thread, we seem to be in an interglacial at the moment and this interglacial is getting warmer. But it won't always be so. Eventually, it will get cold again here in Britain and very cold at that.

Milutin Milankovitch, a Serbian astrophysicist, described subtle perturbations in the Earth's orbit, which govern how much sunlight reaches us at different latitudes. Consequently, we get periodic expansion and contraction of the Polar ice-caps. Seemingly, Milankovitch's theory seems to explain nearly every fluctuation in the Ice Age.

However, we are not helping! But, I don't think we are making a huge difference to Global Warming either, and building ineffectual swathes of wind turbines and destroying precious habitats and landscapes is folly.

And for those folks yearning for a return to tropical seas, you are going to have to wait awhile, when Continental Drift will plonk the British Isles back in the Tropics again!
