Response to the Bishop of Chester from Prof. Bob White
The Bishop of Chester, Dr. Peter Forster, recently wrote an article in the Church Times (21 Oct. 2011) which was highly sceptical of human-induced climate change. The article was reproduced in full on the web site of the Global Warming Policy Foundation, a climate sceptic organisation chaired by Lord Lawson, and for which Dr Forster serves as a trustee. You can see it at Look To Adaptation, Not Alarmism. Two weeks later (4 Nov. 2011) the Church Times published a number of replies to the Bishop’s article, the majority of which were highly critical of his position. One of these was from Prof. Bob White of the Faraday Institute, who is also a Director of JRI. Bob gave us permission to reproduce his article It is Crucial to Act Now to Address the Global Risks. Operation Noah have also reproduced the excellent response of The Rt. Revd. David Atkinson under the title This is not alarmism. It is happening now.
We are expecting increased activity from the sceptic lobby as Durban climate change conference approaches and will play our part in the response.
