    Climate sceptics 'put world at risk', says leading scientist

    Climate change sceptics and fossil fuel companies that have lobbied against action on greenhouse gas emissions have squandered the world's chance to avoid dangerous global warming, a key adviser to the government has said.

    Professor Bob Watson, chief scientist at the Department for Environment and Rural Affairs, said a decade of inaction on climate change meant it was now virtually impossible to limit global temperature rise to 2C.
    Still, what does he know? He's only a scientist. Lawson rates much higher in the Tory world because he has acquired more money.

    Scientific fact? How much is that worth? Never been a member of Bullingdon reading science, that's for the oiks.

      "Climate change deniers" as you call them don't deny that the climate is changing.
      But please don't let facts get in the way of making your point

        Not a lot it seems.
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          Is this exciting?

          A major story is breaking in climate science, after hackers posted a 61 megabyte data file on a Russian server that appears to be confidential emails and climate data hacked from the UK Met Office Hadley Centre.

          The data raises major questions about the role of scientists in what appears to be a deliberate conspiracy to mislead the public
