THEY DON’T COME ANY MORE HEAVYWEIGHT than Sir John Houghton, former Chair of the IPCC.  This man is one of the authorities on climate change – and he came to Stretton!  Sir John gave an illustrated talk entitled “Funny Weather We’re Having, Isn’t It?” and answered questions; his basic message was “we have the technology – just get on with it!”
