   Crude, Simple and Impoverished Thinking8 Jan 07

First, let's concede that Dick Lindzen is probably the most credible climate change denier on record, even if his actual denials grow ever more conditional.

In fact, Solomon has misled his readers on that count. |

Here 's a bit of pathos, the lonely lament of a couple of public relations has-beens who can no longer get anyone (other than Financial Post Editor Terence Corcoran) to answer their phone calls. The mournful victims here are Dr. Tim Ball and Tom Harris (right), the nominal brains behind the Natural Resources Stewardship Project (NRSP, or Not Really Science People). In this article, printed in the business pages of the National Post, Ball and Harris complain that, even among Canadian Conservatives, "open discussion of the vast uncertainties (my emphasis) in climate change science has been declared off-limits." Which is to say, the Tories no longer invite industry-funded climate-change deniers like Tim Ball to their policy sessions. |
