Paul Biggs To Start Blogging
Posted by jennifer, at 11:22 AM
Since beginning this blog in April 2004, I've received lots of information and opinion from readers. I've really appreciated the notes that I've been able to publish from people like Libby, Ann, Ian, Luke, Roger, Cinders and others.
I've also occasionally published comment from Paul Biggs, who should not be confused with Paul Williams who I also occasionally publish.
Paul Biggs is now going to join Neil Hewett as someone who occasionally posts directly to this blog and will look after the blog when I visit Indonesia again later this month.
Paul Biggs is a Biological Sciences graduate who has worked in medical research at Birmingham University, UK, since 1979. He became interested in climate change after watching a BBC documentary in 2003 called 'The Big Chill,' which claimed that the Gulf Stream could be cut off within 20 years, resulting in the UK having climate like Alaska.
Worried by this, he decided to investigate the claim in climate journals that he has access to at Birmingham University. It soon became clear to him that the Gulf Stream shut down was more scare that substance. As a result, he now spends much of his spare time debunking the claims that there will be a man-made climate catastrophe due to carbon dioxide.

Paul seems to be overshadowed by his partner who is well dressed for a warmer planet

Bravo Paul! Thank you for your robust quality contributions to a great debate. I'm always scared when Biggsy drops the latest off-the-net "climate change" story into the blog.

Hi Paul,
I especially appreciate when people post pics of themselves! It kind of makes the discussions more interesting and personal....

Ann, It took me a few weeks to get the picture from him. :-)
And I agree, it is always good to be able to put a face to the name.

I'm hoping to get over to Australia next year, if it's still there, but the timing has been complicated by my daughter expecting a baby in March. Very mean of her to not only turn me into a grandad, but possibly disrupt my travel plans as well!

Paul, I always look forward to your excellent contributions on matters climate. And a great pic.
too.
Maybe you should throw out a challenge to all contributors to this blog.. "I've shown you mine... You show me yours" !
Jen could create a picture gallery of the 'pros and cons'!! Then the debate on 'Global Warming' could be settled (on this blog, anyway), with the winner being the best looking group!!
Problem would be..Who to judge it!

I'd judge it. I'm probably the only one in the group who doesn't drink and would be sober enough to decide.
