Down with lurgi

I seem to have one of those illnesses that isn't drop dead fatal, but is just draining and refuses to clear up quickly. Richard had three really bad days with it and then was fine. I seem to be getting it less badly, but for longer.

My voice is really croaky and I keep feeling wobbly.

For anyone who watched the recent Channel 4 programme about climate change...

"the programme - and the channel - is facing a serious challenge to its own credibility after one of the most distinguished scientists that it featured said his views had been "grossly distorted" by the film, and made it clear that he believed human pollution did warm the climate."

"is the sun responsible now?

Some sceptics say so and probably it played the major role until quite recently. But over the past three decades, solar activity has scarcely risen, while temperatures have shot up - a fact disguised in the film. What has gone up is CO2 and even top sceptic Nigel Lawson admits it is "highly likely" that the gas has "played a significant part" in global warming this century."
