Ah yes Johnny Ball.
"He left formal education with two 'O' Levels, one in Mathematics. [1] He then signed on for three years in the Royal Air Force, worked as a Butlin's Redcoat and was an entertainer in northern clubs and cabaret."
So I ask myself, when exactly did cretins such as this (and of course our own home grown morons on CUK: EO, BB, DP, SB) decide that their ignorant opinion mattered?
I blame the 60s and the disappearance of elitism.
Those who aren't that gifted were told that their random neuronal impulses were as valid as the more talented.
And they actually believed it.

He's very persuasive isn't he. I mean, we've got really nice mobile phones these days and other stuff which is generally quite nice. I can't see how the climate change evangelists are ever going to recover from a solid argument like that.
