So who is Prof Lennart Bengtsson? He has a doctorate from the University of Stockholm and over his fifty-year career, he has published more than 200 papers and won 20 prestigious awards. Bengtsson is the former director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, which Der Spiegel called “one of the world’s leading climate research centers.” Fact: Over the past 2 million years, ocean core samples - which don't lie - show that Ice Ages have come and gone. We are now in the longest period ever - over 12,000 years - between Ice Ages, which can last for around 100,000 years. The next one is overdue by about 5,000 years; so get yer thermal undies ready.
