Climate change: just like the Millennium Bug, apparently

This week Terry Wogan read out a message from a listener comparing climate change (and the current financial crisis) to the Millennium Bug, implying that both are a storm in a teacup.

Tuesday March 17th at about 8:24am, reading a letter from "a financial incompetent": "'I'm surprised nobody has thought of Charles Nove as the obvious solution to the financial meltdown we're facing. The world is melting and so is the financial world. After all, wasn't he part of the BBC's Y2K team of Millennium Bug-Busters' - you remember - 'holed up in a bunker on the eve of the year 2000 in case the world's computer systems went haywire.' Well, that disaster failed to materialise. What happened to that?"
