Climate change is real and has varying degrees of impact globally. New technologies are going to change how we utilise energy. The development of nuclear fusion will be game changer and spell the end of fossil fuels reliance. Whoever gets there first will change the world.
Believe who you want to believe but he is a botanist, not a climate scientist. Here's the Wikipedia section on his GW views. Note that he was basing his views on glaciers on since discredited information provided by a climate change denier.
Views on global warming
In his foreword to the 1989 book The Greenhouse Effect,[12] Bellamy wrote:
"The profligate demands of humankind are causing far reaching changes to the atmosphere of planet Earth, of this there is no doubt. Earth's temperature is showing an upward swing, the so-called greenhouse effect, now a subject of international concern. The greenhouse effect may melt the glaciers and ice caps of the world causing the sea to rise and flood many of our great cities and much of our best farmland."
Bellamy's later statements on global warming indicate that he subsequently changed his views completely. In 2004, he wrote an article in the Daily Mail in which he described the theory of man-made global warming as "poppycock".[13] A letter he published on 16 April 2005 in New Scientist asserted that a large percentage (555 of 625) of the glaciers being observed by the World Glacier Monitoring Service were advancing, not retreating.[14] George Monbiot of The Guardian tracked down Bellamy's original source for this information and found that it was Fred Singer's website. Singer claimed to have obtained these figures from a 1989 article in the journal Science, but no such article exists.[15]
Bellamy has since accepted that his figures on glaciers were wrong, and announced in a letter to The Sunday Times in 2005 that he had "decided to draw back from the debate on global warming",[16] although Bellamy jointly authored a paper with Dr. Jack Barrett in the refereed Civil Engineering journal of the Institution of Civil Engineers, entitled Climate stability: an inconvenient proof in May 2007.[17]

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
It's unlikely that the Chinese will underwrite the climatology industry, certainly European money has not been used to encourage countries around the world to sign on. The step away by the US will release trillions into the their economy, unfortunately, it would appear to be the reverse for the U.K. Taxpayer, whether the terms are rewritten or not.
