CO2 will decimate humankind, a clever bloke says so!

[Lost_BMW]

Paraphrasing but pretty close to:

"all the data and the computer models show that if we put this amount of co2 in the atmosphere there's a possibility we'll have a temperature rise of 4 or 5 degrees and decimate civilisation...

claims the media scientist Lord God Brian Cox, on "The Infinite Monkey Cage".

So the science is settled then and mmgw death it is.

And it's fact, as he (oh so subtly, not) got this in in the 'fact' bit before moving to his 'opinion' (we must "..stop!") in a programme claimed to be about balance.

Well worth a listen -

if you are either in love with mmgw as a hoped for lifestyle choice or like having your blood boiled. Also features my favourite voice-box, Sir Paul Nurse ("Worms, what worms?")

I st you not, of course, that's his job. God luv the BEEB!

although the revised Charter is particularly vague about it

Only a tenth? There's lucky.

I thought better of Brian cox. He is a favourite of mine when it comes to bbc science docs, but I wouldn't be expecting him to tow the line like this. Little bit of respect gone there.

Can we choose who goes?
