I read the article. And, as I was unsurprised to learn, it does not show very much of the argument that you think it does.
It actually does little more than say that the Conservative Think Tanks have been responsible for publishing some sceptical literature. And then gives a lot of opinion.
Here is the money quote
‘The central tactic employed by CTTs in the war of ideas is the production of an endless flow of printed material ranging from books to editorials designed for public consumption to policy briefs aimed at policy-makers and journalists, combined with frequent appearances by spokespersons on TV and radio’.
Which is hardly a huge surprise. In next week’s shock revelation, the Bishop of Rome reveals Catholic tendencies, and Bruin the Bear discusses his outdoor sylvan lavatorial habits
Martin, I know you like to have big books around you so that you believe that all you have to do is wave the relevant Chapter and Verse as the end of any discussion. That the final words on all topics have already been written by the great god(s) who came before. Be they from roman occupied Judea or from Jim Hansen or
some other guru that you have decided to latch on to this year.
But life ain’t like that. It’s far far more complicated. The scientific method is a way of trying to unpick that complexity. But you explicitly reject the ways of science in favour of the advancement of your faith.
To exaggerate your position only a little
