The front page of today’s Daily Express carries a story which resonates strongly with global warming sceptics. According to a report by Anil Dawar and Will Stewart, “experts at the Moscow-based Institute of Economic Analysis” have said that leading British climatologists “probably tampered with Russian climate data” in order to produce a biased [...]

I had the great pleasure of meeting James Delingpole yesterday at a Christmas drinks party in London. I say ‘great pleasure’ because I was always taught to be polite. But to give you an idea of our lengthy and heated discussion, let’s just just say it included a lot of swearing and [...]

There’s an enormous hunger for green news this week. So it made sense that Alistair Darling’s Pre-Budget Report at least sounded environmentally friendly, with an additional £200 million for energy efficiency promised from April.
The Chancellor said he will help “up to 125,000 homes” replace inefficient boilers, and he guaranteed more cash for wind turbine and solar [...]

Here’s something to briefly distract you from the Telegraph’s Pre-Budget report build-up: an online rumour claims that Sarah Brown’s recent gibberish tweet – “fvdfzsrsazxzzxcvbnmadgfhjjkqwrtyuuuiop” – was written not by her three-year-old son, Fraser, but very deliberately by her, so that the Prime Minister could include the anecdote in a speech this week.
Gordon Brown told an audience at an event to [...]

It’s an old favourite for the pub bore. “Climate change?”, they scoff into a lukewarm pint. “The Met office can’t even get the weather forecast right, let alone predict fifty years in advance.” Similar things were said earlier this year, of course, when the British “barbecue summer” we’d all been hoping for failed to materialise.

Just half of Britain believes in man-made climate change, a Sunday Telegraph poll has revealed. The figure didn’t surprise me in the least. Over the past week I’ve been deluged by climate change misinformation on this blog and by readers’ emails: “facts” which are based on hearsay, bullshit which is repeated [...]

Global warming is the new EU. It’s an extremely contentious issue for Tories, in other words, and they need watch out that Labour don’t use it to divide the party. Just listen to Ed Miliband’s comments on the eve of the Copenhagen climate conference:

Originally published on Telegraph blogs:
Guido Fawkes is being enigmatic this evening – either that or he’s fluffed a blog post, which declares without any explanation that “Ed Balls Went to Eton for a Term”. Could this be the embryo of a seriously damaging scoop for the Schools Secretary?
Here’s what we know already: back in June 2008, The [...]

Blimey, I’ve just seen the Telegraph’s blog figures for the last week. Don’t let anyone fool you into thinking that James Delingpole is on the fringes of the global warming debate. He’s bloody not. In fact, as the (top secret) figures show, he’s amassing a vast army of climate change sceptics behind him, who think that [...]
