Telegraph’s Dellingpole, the Climate Change Denier indulges himself in personal attack on leading scientist

June 17, 2018March 1, 2012 by Dave

James Delingpole, the Telegraph’s resident Climate Change Denial kook, has used his column today to launch a personal attack upon Sir Paul Nurse (pictured here).

“Skeptic” vs “Denier” – I got it wrong … really wrong.

March 24, 2024February 29, 2012 by Dave

I wrote a brief post the other day entitled “The Climate Change Skeptics are still as crazy as ever“. Yikes … bad move … really bad move on my part …. and so a few folks quite rightly pointed out that this is a highly inappropriate term to use. OK, lets clarify why. There are … Read more

James Delingpole, the Telegraph anti-science nut who claims he is right about everything, has an article in which he claims … Professor Richard Lindzen is one of the world’s greatest atmospheric physicists: perhaps the greatest. What he doesn’t know about the science behind climate change probably isn’t worth knowing. But even if you weren’t aware … Read more

The climate change debate is heating up yet again. OK, so what has happened? Well, before I go there, lets first establish a few things so that you fully understand where I’m coming from. Man made climate change is real, the evidence is in, there is not really much real scientific controversy. In April 2010 a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that nearly 98% of working climate scientists accept the evidence for human-induced climate change, this latest study does not change that.
