Why Isn't there an Organised Group Questioning AGW (Climate Change) ??
Well the simple answer is there IS - There is a policy foundation set up by none other than Lord Nigel Lawson ex Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer under Mrs T. The group is called The Global Warming Policy Foundation - who produced the paper on Groupthink (see earlier blog) and on Climategate.https://www.thegwpf.org/
However one of my aims in writing this blog is to encourage critical thinking /review, myself included so..... Here's one passage, my highlighting, from a Nigel Lawson essay that may prompt some political /moral angst :
" But what moves me most is that the policies invoked in its name are grossly immoral. We have, in the UK, devised the most blatant transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich – and I am slightly surprised that it is so strongly supported by those who consider themselves to be the tribunes of the people and politically on the Left. I refer to our system of heavily subsidising wealthy landlords to have wind farms on their land, so that the poor can be supplied with one of the most expensive forms of electricity known to man.!His whole essay is below - have to admit it's clear, well written and I consider fair, though in a few minor passages the harsher Nigel Lawson of old creeps out .. sure you'll be able to easily spot them.
