It is likely the controversy is over. It is easy to choose the side of the climate sceptics; it’s a far more appealing scenario to believe we’re just being taken for a ride by carbon-traders and renewable energy profiteers – as opposed to those trading in the burning of carbon and fossil-fuel profiteers. What is more likely, however, in light of the remarkable similarity in the figures quoted by the scientific community, is that the scientific consensus is refining its accuracy, and that we have little time left for quibbling over whose view of reality is correct. Let’s put it this way: if we choose to side with the renewable energy profiteers and it turns out we’re wrong – nothing bad happens; if we choose to side with the fossil-fuel profiteers and it turns out we’re wrong – we’re screwed.
