Schmallenberg virus and 'climate change'

I posted this link, see url at the end, at the weekend as it is related to our work with Matthew Baylis on blue tongue and the paper he mentions in the interview.

Guis ,H., Caminade , C., Calvete, C., Morse , A., Tran, A. , Baylis, M. (2012), "Modelling the effects of past and future climate on the risk of bluetongue emergence in Europe". Journal of the Royal Society Interface , 9 (67) 339 doi: 10.1098/rsif.2011.0255

But now the climate change debate is only just keeping within the rules of debate - it is interesting to see how people discuss climate change. I suspect we are dealing with a rather selective groups here too.

Lindzen presentation

This is a link to the presentation made by Richard Lindzen at the House of Commons, 22nd February 2012.

Lindzen is critical of some of the climate change ideas that are being supported by IPCC etc. He has held this stance for many years. It is interesting to read his views on the debate.
