The BBC launched yet another epic (in tone) series on the natural world yesterday : "Nature's Great Events" narrated by the ever sententious-sounding David Attenborough. Personally, I'm turned off by this kind of stuff just now, so I switched off the TV a short way into the film, notwithstanding its very high production values, or, perhaps, because of these.
Nevertheless, the film did make me reflect upon whether global climate change could take the form of one of nature's great events - a new ice age perhaps - or whether changes of the kind experienced over the the past one thousand years are more likely. Most people seem to favour the latter scenario, but you never know.....when great changes are also man-made.
