"That is amazing" said Newsnight interviewer Jeremy Paxman.

Asia (including Singapore), parts of the Middle East, Cyprus and a large part of the USA have just had their coldest and most severe winter for 50 - 100 years.
Lord Lawson coming back into public life to speak out on this issue is most unexpected but very welcome.

I also welcome his interventions on the Global credit crunch, a far more important issue than this so cllaed climate change business.
