He doesn’t think he needs any. In fact, he’s against proof. He likes it when governments make massive changes without any evidence that those changes are necessary.

He spends his whole column citing political documents like the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — which is known to have doctored its reports to conform with ideology, deliberately ignoring the statements of its own scientists that weren’t in line with the desire warnings

Shades of the Lancet report on civilian deaths in Iraq.
