Plain English: March 2011 Archives
Only moments ago, watching the ITV News
account of the tsunami resulting from the earthquake in NE Japan, I heard the
announcer say that low-lying Pacific Islands were menaced - and that for many
of them this was a double blow, as some of them had previously had to be
evacuated owing to the consequences of global warming. It strikes me as odd -
and interesting - that the TV news presenter can refer to climate change in a
commonsensical, low-key way, while some global warming-deniers are still
shouting from the (metaphorical) rooftops, and while there have been two plays
in London recently struggling to deal with the climate change question: i.e.,
whether it is man-made, as no one can actually deny the fact of climate change.
