One of the things that yanks your humble Devil's pointy little beard is when those talking about climate change, anthropogenic or otherwise, keep burbling on about how they studied this science or that science and if you are not a scientist then you have no right to discuss the subject whatsoever. As I attempted to intimate in this post, the only science at the heart of the climate change debate i...

A few faked email stats and suddenly the entire edifice of climate change is in the balance. There's no doubt that the revelation of less than pure scientific method being used by the prominent climate change boffins at the University of East Anglia has given a new lease of life to the climate change deniers, or climo-sceptics. But, as we get ready to see our leaders parading their concern at the ...

The Guardian has one of its climate change scare scoops for us all to panic about today. Their good friend and climate change guru, Professor Robert Watson has held court and it is clear from what he says that we are all doomed. The UK should take active steps to prepare for dangerous climate change of perhaps 4C according to one of the government's chief scientific advisers. In policy areas

Yesterday was Fossil Fools day - when a small clique of climate change deniers gather at Parliament to decry logical and the scientific method. Yet the ever thinning ranks of even vaguely credible people associated with climate denial has finally jumped the shark with an article that once and for all lays bare the real thinking behind climate denial; not science but pure naked ideology.

The climate change secretary denies that controversies over scientific data have undermined efforts to tackle global warming.

The BBC reports that "Gordon Brown is "unequivocal" about the scientific case for action against climate change, No 10 has said, ahead of the forthcoming Copenhagen summit." But there isn't a scientific case for policy action against climate change. There...

To dismiss the implications of climate change based on an error about the rate at which Himalayan glaciers are melting is an act of astonishing intellectual legerdemain. Yet this is what some doubters of climate change are claiming. But the reality is that our understanding of climate change is based on

Earlier this week the BBC Trust announced a comprehensive review of how the Corporation reports scientific controversy, which is of course politically sensitive over issues like Genetically Modified crops and Climate Change. The review is part of the BBC’s assessment of how it is meeting its charter obligations to be impartial. The question of impartiality is

Sky News invited me around for what I expected would be a civil debate on climate change at 2:30pm today - but for people like Bob Ward, there’s no such thing. He is policy director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change at the LSE. The debate proceeded along the bizarre path that these types so frequently tread. I was asked about what the climategate emails mean: I said it sho...

The Citizen this week kindly printed my letter challenging one of their columnists, Martin Kirby, who seems to deny climate change - the columnist uses humour to shed doubt on the science and continues to try and demean many of the folks who are working to try and get our politicians take climate change seriously - I am deeply concerned that the messages he gives out just lead to further inaction
