Climate change: one of the best
Tuesday 28 August 2012
For those of us who know better, this is an absurd proposition but it makes no difference to argue it either way. We have ourselves here a dialogue of the deaf. Those who believe current ice levels arise from man-made climate change will continue to believe that. Those of us who disagree will continue to disagree.
As always, you pays your money (or not) and pick the headlines that suit you, as with the rainy summer. According to the Failygraph, we are heading for the wettest on record, while the Gruaniadtells you (under the headline "weatherwatch") it cannot beat the record set in 1912.
When it comes to headlines, though, you would have a job beating Süddeutsche Zeitung, which has us believe that the levels of Arctic ice amount to a problem more serious than the euro crisis.
This is a timely reminder, if nothing else, of how much trust we can place in newspaper headlines.
