it isn't duck a l'orange - yet?

despite all the evidence?

Climate change is a fact, it's the causes that may be argued.

>Climate change is a fact, it's the causes that may be argued.

Indeed it is... so what's become of the irrefutable scientific proof
that the cause is anthropogenic?

Still, if our illustrious PM's gone cold on the idea (pun intended)

sure we all receive our fair share of the profits from the filthy
