WELCOME TO THE ROCKFLAT CLIMATE WEBSITE IN 2025

The Rockflat climate website is now 4 years old. Since conception, Rockflat has discussed many aspects of climate change and the politics of climate in the form of essays. From now on, Rockflat content will feature more scientific content and less emphasis on “climate politics”

Robert Watson and the Rockflat Climate website respects opinions and collects information from all climate commentators, be they scientists, journalists, academics or politicians. There are however two provisos; (1) that any question of denial of climate change and the damage already caused, and will continue to cause, has long passed; and (2) that information used on this website must be accredited to an author or organisation. No information or comment on climate on the Rockflat website is sourced from social media or any other anonymous source. All sources of Rockflat content are acknowledged.
