Climate Change - Is It All Lies?...

David Bellamy is used to being attacked for his views on climate change but he believes there is a need for a much more balanced debate on the issue.

He said: "Climate change is happening, it's been happening all the time there has been a climate, and there certainly is a period in recent times when it appears that the temperature is going up and up.

He said: "The sun is getting old and it is getting warmer all the time but we do have cycles of sun spots and when those sun spots come the effect is to warm the Earth up and warm the atmosphere.

"They are big flares, there are enormous flares, it's an atomic powerhouse - you can actually see them - they are enormous eruptions. At least half of the temperature rise that we have seen correlates with these sun spots."

"But I would show you this one thing out of the paper – strawberries in December, frog spawn in February – not 2007 but 1868 and no one blamed global warming then. I have asked the global warmers how to explain facts like that and they always don't give me an answer. So I am a sceptic."

"I don't think any scientist with their hand on their heart at the moment can say which was the main cause of global warming, but certainly the burning of fossil fuels cannot be helping the problem. So we should all do our best to cut down on energy use and plug our homes into solar power if we can."
