An Interview With Christopher Booker

Here.

Excerpt:
PP: Yours is one of the few skeptical voices in the media on global warming, do you feel that this is changing? Is there now a greater willingness to give the skeptical viewpoint?

CB: Certainly the BBC and the press in general remain absurdly one-sided in their coverage of the global warming scare, but two things have recently been changing the debate. One has been a significantly more skeptical and better informed response from many members of the public (as can be seen from blogs and comment forums). The other has been the recent dramatic drop in global temperatures and the record snowfalls recorded this winter right across the northern hemisphere, except in Western Europe. Although they have been generally ignored by the British media, the extraordinary events of recent months have raised the largest question marks so far over the CO2-global warming thesis. If the 'orthodoxy' was correct, with CO2 levels continuing to rise, the recent events in Asia and north American should simply not have happened.
