The new look, part 2…

It seems to be working nicely, don’t you think.

Of course I could always try this site’s approach. I wonder what nightmare world could be created if Nigel’s Eco Store behaved like that… Not being a Dutch person, I have no idea at all what that site is really meant to be selling, but it got my attention.

And watching that certainly cheered me up from listening to this morning’s news.

In public, climate scientists and European politicians are generally optimistic that rising carbon dioxide levels and temperatures can be curbed.

In private, some are less sanguine; but there has been a widespread unwritten code of optimism to avoid being accused of scaremongering or creating despair.

Now, science advisors to two governments with claims to leadership in global climate politics, Germany and the UK, have told BBC News it is unlikely that levels of greenhouse gases can be kept low enough to avoid a projected temperature rise of 2C (3.6F).

Professors Sir David King and John Schellnhuber say the world is more than 50% likely to experience dangerous levels of climate change.
