After twenty years of unmitigated ‘global warming’ eco-hype and media bias, we learn this morning that “most Britons don’t believe climate change is man-made” [‘Poll: most Britons doubt cause of climate change’, The Observer, June 22]. What a surprise, I don’t think! While I perused this report over breakfast, I admit to having felt a tiny twinge of pity for The Observer/Guardian, and for the attendant cohort of bien pensant political commentators, metropolitan-elite readers, and environmental reporters, as their very own Ipsos MORI poll rams home the truth, long-known here on GWPs, that ordinary British folk are a tad more sensible and down-to-earth about climate change than they are. “The results have shocked campaigners ...” What a naif bunch, they are! They must be collectively weeping into their Sunday-morning cappuccinos.
