| Results and Impact | We are often described as a nation preoccupied by weather, and we've certainly had plenty to talk about over the last few weeks. The wind and rain continue their relentless assault, and the headlines focus, quite rightly, on the plight of those worst affected - what should be done to... Increased the community's knowledge and understanding of science. |

| Results and Impact | While the residents of the Somerset Levels languish in the miserable conditions brought by incessant deluges, the Energy and Climate Change Committee is today holding its first evidence session into the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 5th Assessment Review. The climate debate is now fuelled, not only by controversial policies such as carbon tax, but by a sense of urgency: from Somerset to Saskatchewan and from Adelaide to Atlanta, weather has been hitting us hard. One of the topics up for debate by the Commons Select Committee is the enduring problem concerning the reliability of climate models: results differ, perhaps even contradict each other, and don't agree with observations - ergo the models are flawed..... Increased the community's knowledge and understanding of science. |
