Rhodri Morgan is continuing to stand by his claims that climate change would not be ‘entirely unhelpful’ to the Welsh tourism industry, spurred on by John Redwood’s endorsement.
I suggest he reads the Guardian’s interview with Jim Lovelock today (I have to admit I was rather annoyed by the cheeky way Stuart Jeffries treated Lovelock in comparison to the revential way in which he treated a real nutjob like Azzim Tamimi in his article on secularism a couple of weeks ago). You may regard Lovelock as a bit of a Cassandra, but if Morgan’s right about the improving Welsh climate, then Lovelock is right about the resultant population drift. I don’t think that’s quite the ‘tourism’ that Morgan was thinking about.
