Beam me to Planet Gore !
Last week Lord Lawson, who served as chancellor for six years under Margaret Thatcher, told The Daily Telegraph that he planned to establish a think tank to challenge the consensus that drastic action is needed to combat global warming.
This could be important, or maybe not. We need some UK Freeper to let us know whether Lord Lawson is taken seriously these days or has been tagged by the Brit MSM as a nutcase. Fingers crossed, hoping for help from the UK.
“He claimed that the credibility of the university’s world-renowned Climatic Research Unit - and British science - were under threat.”
Under threat?? More like “Under Extinction” LMAO!!
It should be investigated as a criminal activity. Laws have been enacted and tax dollars doled out because of this fraud.
NO, NO, NO!
Nigel Lawson was never an AGW supporter. He is the author of the book " An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming", where he argues that even if there is warming it will have at most moderate effects, and criticises alarmist scientists and politicians. In 2004 Lawson criticised the Kyoto protocol and claimed a that there were substantial scientific uncertainties surrounding climate change. In a 2005 committee report (with Lawson as one of the members) from the House of Lords the objectivity of the IPCC was put in question.
Lawson is a good egg "climate wise" and he is also the father of Nigella Lawson(!) :
