Purnell will be a massive loss to Labour and to the whole of politics.

It was Disgraceful.

Maybe in years to come he’ll be a big donor and then get a Peerage? Stranger things have happened.

So far I had taken at face value claims made on certain sites that the MFP was hotter than today but I have to admit that I cannot see where they get the data for that claim.

It’s just one of those things regularly thrown out in conversations – I assumed that the people making those claims had evidence for them but (so far)I have found none.

I still don’t believe that (man made) CO2 causes global warming and will be back with some evidence once I find it…

In the meantime (at this time of posting) I was wrong to suggest that the MWP was warmer than it is today…
