Environment

Could someone explain?

By Robert H Olley in Beamlines
December 20, 2010

This has recently appeared on Telegraph Blogs, from one of the few sensible authors.

Could someone explain why global warming has to be a disaster?

Could readers please help with a reasonably concise explanation, which I could post within a day or two?

Many thanks in advance.
