I end with a quotation from Atte Korhola, a Professor of Environmental Change at the University of Helsinki:

When later generations learn about climate science, they will classify the beginning of the twenty-first century as an embarrassing chapter in the history of science. They will wonder about our time and use it as a warning of how core values and criteria of science were allowed little by little to be forgotten, as the actual research topic of climate change turned into a political and social playground.

EU Referendum: The sins of Harrabin

It looks as if the sins of Harrabin are coming back to bite him, this time via the Mail on Sunday. His partisan approach to climate change has long been suspect, not least because of his financial relationship with the University of East Anglia's Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research to fund seminars run by an "ad hoc" partnership of himself and a friend.

But now, a study devised by Harrabin to test the accuracy of weather forecasts, called the "BBC Weather Test" - estimated to have cost tens of thousands of pounds of licence fee payers' money – seems to be falling apart.

...Nevertheless, that is how the warmist claque operates, managing criticism by ensuring that performance reviews and inquiries are conducted by friends and allies. But now he is being so comprehensively outed, the lad is looking more than a little fragile. His friends may not be able to salvage his increasingly tattered reputation.

The only surprise is that it has lasted so long.

Last year The Mail on Sunday reported that Mr Harrabin accepted £15,000 in grants from the university at the heart of the ‘Climategate’ scandal in which scientists were accused of exaggerating the effect of climate change...

Independent forecaster Piers Corbyn has described Mr Harrabin as an ‘excessively deluded disciple of the warmist brigade’ tainted by his links to climate change groups.
