Ofcom can't take the heat of climate debate - Telegraph

The climate change lobby tends to react like scalded cats should anyone have the temerity to question their assertion that global warming is a man-made phenomenon. So certain are they of the righteousness of their case that it has taken on the aura of a religious faith - and heresy will simply not be tolerated.

This bullying is unappealing. Climate change protagonists would carry more conviction if they encouraged free debate on this issue, rather than trying to silence dissenting voices.

I don’t recall Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth – that’s the same Al Gore whose Tennessee home consumes 20 times the amount of energy as the average American home – being impartial, or giving a voice to a range of views.
