Britain can no longer stop global warming and must instead focus on adapting to the 'inevitable' impacts of climate change such as floods, droughts and rising sea levels, Government ministers will warn this week.\... In her first speech on climate change since taking office Caroline Spelman, the Environment Secretary, will speak about the need for Britain to adapt to rising temperatures.
"It is vital that we carry on working to drastically cut our greenhouse gas emissions to stop the problem getting any worse," she will say. "But we are already stuck with some unavoidable climate change. Because of this, we need to prepare for the best and worst cases which a changing climate will entail for our country."
Climate change is inevitable, says Caroline Spelman

#1 - Mon Sep 13, 2010 6:38 AM EDTWell, if anyone should know about climate change, Caroline Spelman should. After all, she was Sugar Beet commodity secretary for the National Farmer's Union from 1981 to 1984. She was deputy director of the International Confederation of European Beet Growers (officially known as La Confédération Internationale des Betteraviers Européens – CIBE) in Paris from 1984–9, then a research fellow for the Centre for European Agricultural Studies (part of the University of Kent and since 2000 known as the Centre for European Agri-Environmental Economics) from 1989 to 1993. She co-owns Spelman, Cormack & Associates, a lobbying firm for the food and biotechnology industry, with her husband.[3] Based in Dorridge (her constituency is in the borough of Solihull).
You just can't beet those qualifications. (I didn't think of that pun, until I was spelling "beat." HONEST!)
