The world of science and the world of literature have much in common. Each is an international club, helping to tie mankind together across barriers of nationality, race and language. I have been doubly lucky, being accepted as a member of both.
The fact that the climate is getting warmer doesn't scare me at all. There's no reason why one should be scared.
It has become part of the accepted wisdom to say that the twentieth century was the century of physics and the twenty-first century will be the century of biology.
Scepticism is as important for a good journalist as it is for a good scientist.
I am saying that all predictions concerning climate are highly uncertain.
I don't think of myself predicting things. I'm expressing possibilities. Things that could happen. To a large extent it's a question of how badly people want them to.
