I haven't had the chance to have much of a look at what some climate activists are calling the 'sceptics climategate'. Except it isn't. The sums of money involved here are minute, compared to the budgets of companies, NGOs, governments and bodies like the EU and UN to...

I have an article over at Spiked about the way climate change alarmism seems to hide in the most remote locations. A study published in Nature last week has found that the effects of climate change on Himalayan glaciers have been overstated. But rather than facing up...

In a moment of boredom, I watched a few minutes of this Channel 4 documentary on the Mayan prophecy that the world will end this year. Prophecies of doom and destruction crop up in all cultures and at all times throughout history, with dire predictions about the end...
