I did write to WSCT along similar lines – more localised of course, and without reference to AN Wilson.

What is it with right-wing lawyers and science? It seems to be an occupational hazard.
(Actually I’ve concluded the problem is not lawyers or right-wingers, it’s libertarians. Libertarians have the strongest vested interest to spread disinformation about climate change, as the alternative is to admit they might need to modify their behaviour to consider others. )

Unfortunately, ill-informed comments like those of Mr Circus seem to be gaining ground, George Monbiot said this week that the climate change deniers are winning their argument.
Alternative views aren’t always published by Tory heartland papers like the WSCT.
Couldn’t you offer them your post for publication, Skuds, as a counterweight to Mr Circus’s dangerously ignorant opinions?

Although, worryingly, most of the MPs who voted nay in the recent 10:10 vote were Labour. I do believe the Labour have more faith in reputable climate science than most Tories (although Bojo’s rescue of the wonderful Franny Armstrong may spread the good word…..http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/nov/03/boris-johnson-attack-camden-london1) but I found this disappointing.
