Early British assessments of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction were almost exactly the same as the Americans. In the 1990s to the early 2000s the U.K. assumed that Iraq still had its WMD and wanted to expand its programs. It also felt that Baghdad would always hide what it was doing. Just like the U.S. the threat assessments also gradually increased. At the start of the 2000s British intelligence was largely guessing about what Iraq was doing.

Obviously when that happened it was not because ancient Americans were burning fossil fuels. The earth appears to be constantly changing in response to its own cycles and not those of humans.
