LETTER: Margaret believed too
Well, Mr Beck has written innumerable letters to the Express on that subject, and as far as I know, he has no relevant qualifications either. Come to that, nor have I.
On the other hand, I do have a reasonable grasp of the importance of peer review evaluation in scientific method. The theory of anthropogenic global warming was first advanced in the late 19th century, which means that scientists – they are a jealous, competitive lot – have had over a century to tear it to pieces. Since no one has been able to, it is now accepted as scientific orthodoxy.
Yes, Brian, I suppose Tony Blair does believe in climate change. So did Margaret Thatcher. She was a scientist.
