From the article:
“The source of the alleged smear campaign is Bob Ward, director of policy at the London School of Economics’s Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change.
Mr Ward, neither an economist nor a climate expert, claimed on the institute’s website that he was waging ‘an ongoing struggle’ to force Prof Tol to correct ‘errors’ in his work.
Mr Ward had earlier sent an email disparaging Prof Tol’s research to several leading IPCC scientists and officials.”
I don’t know if the U.K.’s libel laws apply to this situation. I know their press can more easily get sued for libel as opposed to in U.S..
Thank you.

His paycheck, as well as that of many within the institute, depends on propagating and perpetuating the alarmist viewpoint.
I love it how a leftist who isn’t an economist or climate expert is leading a lynching of a leftist who actually is for not being sufficiently leftist ...
