Basically, they had a page which mentioned some possible benefits of Climate Change and now they took it down.
It seems quite a reasonable question an inquiring young mind might ask "well is it bad for everyone? Are there any countries whose climate is better due to CC?"

[xoggoth]

I suppose CC may improve the climate for people in some countries but not so sure about the effect on nature. People can adjust their lifestyles and economies relatively quickly but nature takes much longer to adapt.

Yes there will be places that will benefit. In some ways you can already see that by the way English wine making is becoming more commercially viable.

I guess it's harder to see the positives because flooding, fires, drought is what grabs the headlines but I expect there are places that will see new opportunities arise as a result.

Norfolk could be submerged.

And much of London?

Nothing new about that. The Romans had extensive vineyards on the southern slopes of Combe Down on the edge of Bath.

London built a barrier for just such an eventuality, Norfolk rely on burning sage leaves and turnips...

Anywhere you find a 'Vine Street' is likely to have been a Roman Vineyard. There's one in Edinburgh IIRC.

But will that cope with 10m sea rises we're promised?
