As more alarmist stories appear about spring 'coming early' despite the data showing no increase in temperatures for 20 years, the evidence grows that all this catastrophism is taking its toll on our mental health.
The BBC’s green activist-in-residence Justin Rowlatt has had two complaints upheld against him, following the broadcast last November of his absurd "Wild Weather" Panorama programme.
Over half a million fewer people died in England and Wales over the last 20 years due to a small rise in temperatures, according to the ONS. But for some reason the media didn't report this good news.
