We need to cool down the climate change row - Telegraph

But is there a productive way forward? All sides condemn waste of the world’s resources. Conserving energy, reducing the use of fossil fuels and replacing them with clean sources is important for national security, and reducing other forms of air pollution besides the emission of greenhouse gases. It is also, as more and more economists and entrepreneurs are realising, an effective way of creating jobs and stimulating new, and sustainable, economic growth.

“The cumulative and inescapable message is that those at the highest levels of 'climate science' admit -- in their own words, in full context, desperate spin to the contrary notwithstanding -- that they cannot make their case, and the lengths to which they are willing to go in the face of this,” Horner said. “Clearly, this is not helpful to the argument that the science is reliable.”

Horner emphasizes that the science must now be debated before proceeding, which doesn’t bode well for plaintiffs and the legal strategy of the alarmist industry in general.

BBC - Richard Black's Earth Watch: Rising scepticism - a chill wind?

In terms of the global politics of climate change, it's hard to see the poll results making any difference at all.
