Bosses of climate change research centre travel by private jet

18-10-2006 12:48

I thought you might find the news below of interest and like to share it with your colleagues and supporters. The bosses of the National Oceanographic Centre in Southampton, which undertakes important climate change research, recently flew to a meeting in the US in a private jet.

16-10-2006 17:06
