Brief extract from the Times article on the link given in the last posting to this thread:

"We should not be surprised when global-warming policy officers and climate-change academics rush to declare that the evidence for pending disaster is “overwhelming”. These people have, after all, to justify their job titles; the industry of which they are part is worth billions of pounds a year....My real problem with the eco-alarmists is the pleasure they take in austerity; their evident desire to strip away pleasure. They really do want to see us imprisoned in a narrow, grey, scratchy world of recycled car tyres and hemp lingerie (and no, I didn't make that up). Hence their gleefulness in the economic downturn, because it will mean that people are poorer, and will be forced to do things their way."
