"Carbon offsets are a feel-good farce"

Nigel Lawson’s "lonely" crusade - FP Comment

Lord Lawson’s book appears to have unhinged a good part of the British media. The Mirror accused him of “the arrogance that only a public school Tory grandee … can carry off.” The Guardian compared him with Dr. Strangelove. A snotty review in The Economist suggested that he was “one of the few remaining serious people who argue against the current consensus on global warming.”
According to The Observer: “Several other individuals, usually male, elderly and right-wing, still deny climate change is happening, mainly because they cannot stand the thought that greenies may be right and that we will have to curtail our use of big cars, international flights and other carbon-boosting luxuries. These Grumpy Old Deniers feel their lifestyles are threatened by greenies and so reject the entire concept of global warming.” Such is the objectivity of the climate debate.
