THEY DON’T COME ANY MORE HEAVYWEIGHT than Sir John Houghton, former Chair of the IPCC.  This man is one of the authorities on climate change - and he is coming to Stretton!  We hope sceptics and converts alike will come to hear him give an illustrated talk entitled “Funny Weather We’re Having, Isn’t It?” and ask questions; if anyone has the answers, it’s him.
