Climate debate
GUY Johnson (Letters, 30 June) asserts that natural factors alone cannot account for the scale of change in our planet's climate. He then counters his own claim by citing El Niño (natural factor) as being responsible for 1998 being the hottest year in recent times!
As for his assertion that the International Panel on Climate Change data (all based on theoretical computer models) "fits into the pattern of man-made warming", this is hardly surprising. All of these computer models include a line of code which assumes that increasing atmospheric increases earth temperatures. A self-fulfilling prophecy if ever there was one. We sceptics need to keep on encouraging intelligent debate before politicians and their green allies drive us back to the Stone Age.
