[Vision2020] The green hijack of the Met Office is cripplingBritain

That's a little harsh. Sorry. Shouldn't send email at midnight.

It's just bizarre to see someone who's normally so well-informed, and
a huge advocate of science, attacking literally an entire field of
science. Climatology's consensus around global warming is as uniform
and well-supported as biology's consensus around evolution. What's
left over is a motley collection of crank physicists, conservative
economists, conspiracy bloggers, geologists, and TV weathermen,
well-funded by the petroleum industry. They've produced an argument
that's superficially convincing to the myopic and managed to (since
the 1990s) disinform a plurality of Americans, who -- back in the
1990s -- used to believe in global warming.

I've tried to stay quiet, but the whole thing just makes me nauseous.
