Why didn’t they tell us before the science wasn’t half as settled as they pretended? Did they lie to build the case for war against warming?
Tony Blair on September 14, 2004:
WHAT is now plain is that the emission of greenhouse gases, associated with industrialisation and strong economic growth from a world population that has increased sixfold in 200 years, is causing global warming at a rate that began as significant, has become alarming and is simply unsustainable in the long term. Apart from a diminishing handful of sceptics, there is a virtual worldwide scientific consensus on the scope of the problem.
The end of certainty. Blair in Copenhagen on Monday:
IT is said the science around climate change is not as certain as its proponents allege. It doesn’t need to be. What is beyond debate, however, is that there is a huge amount of scientific support for the view that the climate is changing and as a result of human activity. Therefore, even purely as a matter of precaution, given the seriousness of the consequences if such a view is correct, we should act. Not to do so would be grossly irresponsible.
