Like more than eight million people, I enjoy listening to Terry Wogan's breakfast show on Radio 2. But it really upsets me when I hear Terry making light of climate change. His comments and jokes make it very clear that he doesn't grasp how real and urgent the problem is.
The danger of such comments on a mainstream radio show is that many people will assume Terry knows what he's talking about and that the scientists must be making it all up.This slows down our efforts to raise awareness of climate change and stop it before it's too late.
This blog has been created to record instances of Terry Wogan's climate change denial. Submissions from readers are very welcome.

Gryphon, thanks for this and for quoting the Wogan article on another site. Terry actually has a personality disorder, its his way of making other people look foolish so he can seem higher up and he takes pleasure in this. It is a form of psychopathy. Scary but true, though I had to leave that truth short in my book as I didn't want to get sewed (spelling?). Nevertheless, this denial of responsibility is a form of mental illness. The good news is we can know what is going on here. The bad news is that personality disorder is the hardest of all the mental disorders to heal. But we have to keep publishing the truth to stop him infecting other people. Unfortunately he is in a position to infect a lot of people. Curious to think that at least one knight of the realm (him) is a psychopath - actually my guess is that there are many. Thanks again, A
