\"ImageThe myth fostered by some parts of the media in recent months – that somehow the scientific evidence for climate change is deeply flawed – needs to be laid to rest, and soon. <\/p>\n

Sloppily expressed e-mail exchanges involving researchers from the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU), and a blithe assumption that the Himalayan glaciers may melt by 2035, were both irresponsible and damaging. But we cannot allow a few errors to undermine the overwhelming strength of evidence that has been painstakingly accumulated, peer-reviewed, tested and tested again. <\/p>\n

That evidence shows overwhelmingly that our emissions of greenhouse gases are having a serious impact on the Earth’s atmosphere, and that – as a result – climate change is happening and will accelerate. The damage that has been done by the glee with which sceptics have seized on one or two scientific mistakes and attempted to use them to undermine the whole consensus about the evidence for climate change cannot be underestimated.<\/p>\n

Not if but when<\/p>\n

In recent years, the public here in the UK, and across much of Europe, had come to accept the reality and the urgency of climate change. There were still debates about what precisely to do to counter it, but at least the fundamental recognition was there. <\/p>\n

I think that is probably less true now than it was four months ago – and that is a tragedy. We need to take the argument back to the sceptics, and make the powerful, convincing and necessary case about climate change much clearer to everyone. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
