“Is your brain switched on, Mr. Humphrys?”

The BBC is jam-packed with warmists, who don’t have a clue what they’re going on about, as Christopher Booker, prompted by a reader, pointed out in yesterday’s Sunday Telegraph. The expert on everything John Humphrys interviewed a vulcanologist at the beginning of the month about the Tambora eruption of 1815, which was the biggest volcanic event on record. It was the one that turned 1816 into “the year without a summer”.
    When told that the aerosol of particles emitted by the volcano caused a drop in global temperatures of 0.7 deg.C, Mr. Humphrys was far from impressed. “Not a huge amount, then?” to quote the man himself. And yet 0.7 deg.C is the amount of the net rise in temperatures over the whole of the 20th century, which the warmists of the BBC have concluded is grounds for panic.
