Ward had responded to a post on Carswell's blog – recently judged to be among the top 10 Tory blogs – in which the MP had commented about a poll in the Times which had found that "most people do not believe that human activity is responsible for climate change".

Ward wrote back, saying: "Can I express my shock to find a member of parliament so publicly parading his ignorance of climate change. I can assure you that while the UK public may be confused about the causes of climate change, scientists are not."

On a leftists rag ...that might mean something....
