For global warming deniers it has become one of their biggest pet theories – that it is actually the sun that is causing the rise in global warming, not man-made activity. Except now that is also been proven wrong.
A spokesman for the Royal Society, the UK’s leading scientific academy, said: “This is an important contribution to the scientific debate on climate change. At present there is a small minority which is seeking to deliberately confuse the public on the causes of climate change. They are often misrepresenting the science, when the reality is that the evidence is getting stronger every day. We have reached a point where a failure to take action to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions would be irresponsible and dangerous.”
Channel 4 and Martin Durkin, producer of The Great Global Warming Swindle, declined to comment.
