By the way, I'm reading the Lawson book. It isn't as one-sided as you'd
imagine. He acknowledges most of the 'established science' about global

is
sceptical about the accuracy of computer modelling. He draws on countless
seemingly unimpeachable sources as the basis for this position, since his
scienticic knowledge is nil.


He is in good company, see

I wonder if we can read anything into the fact that the few prominent
scientists and economists who are seriously sceptical about global warming
all seem to be at or almost at retirement age. Could it be that they have
become cynics with the advancing years, or is it simply that they don't need
to worry about being blackballed any more?

We must hope that their motives are not driven by the "**** it, I'm to old
to care and it won't affect me anyway" mindset. Perhaps they have no
offspring? AS far as Lawson is concerned I've no doubt that his daughter
has done more than enough in the way of contribution to excessive carbon in
the environment with her failed recipes and he feels some desire to justify
it? (sorry, peops - cheap joke........) ;-)

Just think of the rain forests that must have been felled in order to make
the tissues used by solitary male viewers when she's on the telly.

Surely the greater wonder is how she ever came from between the loins
of her father?

Yes, it's the sort of thing that makes girls run from the room with their
fingers in their ears squealing "Too much information, too much
information!" Then we can get the beer out.
