The end is nigh

Dear editor


As a climate change skeptic, I'm starting to worry that I may be wrong. The torrential monsoonal downpour in Pakistan which has left 4 million people displaced and 1600 dead could possibly tip me over. Add to this the explosion of wildfires and drought in Russia that has lead to a cessation of all wheat deliveries for the rest of the year with an increase in wheat prices internationally of 70%. And the weather forecast for Moscow shows a maximum temperature of 38 degrees. Perhaps the climate doomsayers are right.
