Climate change denial

Brendan O’Neill has written an important article on climate change denial for spiked. The piece argues that the censorious climate around global warming is having a chilling effect on political debate and is bad for science too:

“Effectively, campaigners and officials are using scientific facts – over which there is still disagreement – to shut down what ought to be a political debate about what humans need and want. This is the worst of it. Whatever side you take in the climate change clash of facts, this undermining of debate should be a cause of concern.”
