Harry Eyres write in the FT:
It is true that scientists are not agreed on the causes of the recent slowing in the rate of warming (though let it not be forgotten that warming is continuing). But, on the long-term trends, they are overwhelmingly in agreement.
I have an image of an immense, planet-sized cauldron, into which someone, the devil perhaps, wearing an apron and with a slight look of Heston Blumenthal, is dripping small quantities of poison. The poison will not reach all parts of the cauldron at the same time or in the same concentrations, but there is no doubt that as the great broth is stirred, we will all be thoroughly stewed.
My image is both homely and misleading. There is of course no devil. Or rather the devil is none other than ourselves. Ultimately, I believe, excessive complexity is a poor excuse. One definition of being an adult is having to act in the midst of uncertainty, with no final knowledge of the costs of action or inaction.
Harry, keep your day job. You’ll never make it in science.
Reblogged this on Mothers Against Wind Turbines and commented:
It seems like this guy may have been an “acid-head”, in the sixties….he is still suffering from strange flashbacks!
Sounds like someone dripped some “poison”, into his brain…..he makes absolutely no sense at all!

Hollywood writes disaster movies for people like Harry you.
Yes, “we are the devil.” This is the trademark liberal mantra that trumps fact every time.
