If this be heresy ...

... Pathologising dissent? Now that’s Orwellian.

That the green lobby is so perturbed by our failure to act in accordance with scientific findings shows the extent to which, for them, The Science is a new gospel truth and religious-style guide to life, and anyone who disobeys it is a sinner, heretic or deranged individual, a moral leper of the twenty-first century.
Now would the time for responsible scientists to speak out against this sort of thing. But will they?

The climate models on which so much global-warming alarmism rests "do not begin to describe the real world that we live in," says Freeman Dyson, the eminent physicist and futurist. "The real world is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand."
Hard to think of Professor Dyson as deranged.
