[Vision2020] Scientific Heresy - Matt Ridley's Angus Millar lecture

[Paul Rumelhart]

Here is a link to Matt Ridley's Angus Millar lecture at the Royal 
Society of the Arts.  Here, he describes why he thinks the label of 
"pseudoscience" can be applied to anthropogenic climate change.  He 
explains why in great detail, and touches on many of the points of the 
science behind global climate change that I've talked about in the past 
as having set off my "bullshit detector".

Matt Ridley is the science editor, Washington correspondent and American 
editor of The Economist.  Here is a blurb about him at the RSA's 
website: http://www.thersa.org/events/speakers-archive/r/matt-ridley

I have no idea who Angus Millar is or was, or why he has a set of 
lectures dedicated to him every year at the RSA, mainly because I am a 
culture-deprived heathen (or, in other words, an American).

Here is the link to the PDF of the article:

I'd be interested in people's opinions on this topic.
