Debate hots up

Most important issues, for example whether we should be in the EU, are debated in the mainstream media. But t he truth or other wise of the global warming claim is almost never debated. So I thank Carolyn Taylor for responding to my letter, albeit in opposition ( Letters, 17 November).

As part of her argument, she makes non-specific references to“incomplete evidence” and“nuclear models ”. This is a shame, because I’d like to read about the models and the complete evidence s he pre - sumably has.

War mists claim a consensus in their opinions. Not true, there are innumerable scientists and studies that suggest alternative views. For example, Ms Taylor suggests the sun was the prime driver of climate change in the Ordovician era, but is not the prime driver today. Yet a recent Stockholm University paper suggests it may have been weathering of rocks by mosses.

We shouldn’ t be spending billions on an energy system that will likely make no difference to the climate. GEOFF MOORE Alness, Highland
