Climate change evidence is no exaggeration

THE Royal Society, one of the leading academies of science in the world, states on its website: ‘It has become fashionable in some parts of the British media to portray the scientific evidence that has been collected about climate change and the impact of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities as an exaggeration.’

Steven King’s opinion piece (Irish Examiner, August 2) is just as erroneous in its claims on global climate change.

One could forgive Mr King’s ignorance, I suppose, as he is not a scientist, and therefore could not understand the significance of the figures he quotes, or the mechanics of climate change.
