Because there was at one point, I think it was in the 1970s, where the great...

How shall we say, you know, the great worry was it was global cooling.

And the thing that I always found weird, because look, I'm not a scientist.

I follow this stuff, but nowhere in the detail that obviously you do as a scientist or other people.

But one of the things that I found strange was embracing of Greta Thunberg.

And she was seen as the front person for this particular movement.

And at the time she was 15 years old.

And at that time I was a school teacher and I was thinking to myself, why are we letting a school kid be the forefront of a global movement?

And it's also believing as well that it's very anti-human.

That's the other thing about it.

I remember talking to a neighbour of mine, and he's an old boy and he's got a few kids.

Careful.

He wasn't in his prime like you are, Ian.

And he was talking about one of his sons and he said that he didn't want to have children.

I was like, okay, is it a lifestyle choice?

And he just went, no, no, he's really worried about the climate and so they don't want to bring children into a world where they feel that the world is going to end.

And I just thought that's unbelievably tragic.

And it's also, the thing that I resent is I don't mind having conversations about climate science, climate change, talking to different people who've got different views.

Fine.

What I hate is this culture of fear that I now see in the media, where if it's a bit cold, they say extreme weather.
