The BBC has published the first of a number of pieces which constitute a backlash against hte alarmism of the climate change industry and Al Gore’s movie in particular. Respectable scientists – most of whom are in agreement with the basic premises that warming is occurring and that CO2 emissions play a part – are questioning the tone of Gore’s movie and some of its more outlandish predictions. Great (and somewhat surprising) that the news media are actually covering this – perhaps because Gore is a wealthy politician and not just a bleeding-heart activist? Perhaps the hypocrisy about his Tennessee home pushed them away? Who cares – as long as we now begin to get a more realistic picture of the ongoing debate about climate change I’m all for it.

I'm a Mormon Republican (but also a Brit) living in the Northeastern US. I will tend to focus on US politics but may occasionally meander over into UK politics. During 2008 I'll be focusing a lot on the presidential elections (and I focused heavily on Mitt Romney while his candidacy lasted).
