An article in the Guardian today spells out clearly the findings and predictions of Vicky Pope, the Met Office's leading advisor to the government.
"The warning from the Met office Hadley Centre is likely to cause widespread concern, especially as the Met Office has a reputation for taking a cautious approach. It advises the UK government, the United Nations and other governments and businesses."
Vicky Pope has written her own article where you note that Methane emissions from the Permafrost are given as cause for concern - as I discussed in my earlier page of the blog on August 10th - I told you so!
Some people would suggest this is an essential read for thinking people who may then want to contact their local MP to ensure that this matter is taken seriously.
Friends of the Earth make this an easy process with a prepared letter which you can adapt.
