David Cameron meanwhile has sadly promoted other members of this reckless gang of deniers to positions of influence.

Flashback: More from Bryony Worthington (young green lobbyist who "largely drafted" the UK Climate Change Act)
[Booker] One of the most bizarre features of the Climate Change Act – put through by Ed Miliband when he was our first climate change secretary and passed almost unanimously by MPs – is that it was largely drafted by a young green lobbyist, Bryony Worthington, seconded to the Civil Service from Friends of the Earth, where she had been in charge of their global warming campaign...But what is terrifying is not just that such a person should have in effect been put in charge of our country’s energy policy, but that there appears to be scarcely a single MP who can see why this is utterly insane.
