Bishop Hill has an interesting comparison of two perspectives on the climate debate. In his Radio 5 interview, James Delingpole correctly framed the argument over AGW as being over (a) how large the effect is (b) how much warming there will be and (c) how much of a...
Too Busy for Blogging
I've been busy with other things the last three weeks. Sorry for the lack of posts. I will be back to blogging form next week.
The Science is Not Available at the Moment, Please Leave a Message
A Guardian editorial speaks 'In Praise of Plunge'... The arts have a patchy record on the subject of climate change. Greenland at the National Theatre was a play about environmental disaster that was little short of a disaster itself. The temptation is often strong to...
Bring Back War! Bring Back Violence! More Killing!
I've got myself into trouble recently, for using words like 'idiot' too often. Especially on twitter. Here's my favourite: #Moronbiot Am I reaching the end of my vocabulary? James Delingpole seems equally frustrated. He's written about "Why I am so Rude to Warmists"...

True Colours of Business Green
James Murray is the editor of BusinessGreen.com . Here are his tweets about the Heartland document leak. The faux-outrage of the ecological righteous about this is amazing, given that they can't actually say what the Heartland Documents reveal which isn't applicable...
The Leaked Heartland Documents
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...
Ice Spikes
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...
Climate-change alarmism: fuelled by fantasy
<em>Published on Spiked-Online at http://www.spiked-online.com/site/article/12113/</em> 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 to their...
