The science is settled, warmists never fail to insist, usually adding that they have peer-reviewed each other's papers and found them splendid. Amongst themselves, however, confidence is more than somewhat qualified

The warmist elite -- the ones who turn left upon entering the plane to their next international conference -- all agree that "extreme weather" is growing, er, more extreme. Except when they're not sure, that is

A cool day in summer, that's just weather. But a January scorcher, well that's a further symptom of mankind's toxic contempt for the planet we are killing with carbon emissions. If that sounds like a script, the reason is that it is

Nuts are always on the menu when warmists draft the bill of fare, and this year's Christmas menu of catastropharian predictions and pronouncements has proven to be no exception     

The UN's latest scare-a-thon has drawn mercifully to a close, but not before pushing the boundaries of institutionalised idiocy. Apart from the usual dire predictions of the world's imminent peril, here is what the delegates achieved

Intoxicated by self-importance, the Doha delegates will talk climate change until those methane-exuding cows come home. Not a word of it will make a scrap of difference to the weather

Uncertainty has never bothered the climateers converging on Doha for the latest attempt to engineer massive transfers of global wealth. The science is dubious, but the apostles of climate change have never doubted their goals or how to achieve them

Their "evidence" is more dubious than ever, the grasping lust for other people's money more naked. But give the catastropharians credit for trying. As the warmist bandwagon rolls into Qatar, their claims of imminent disaster will be deafening

The recent convictions of seven earth scientists for involuntary manslaughter raised a storm of protest. A closer look at the case provides a sobering lesson for experts who present opinions as established fact. Climate alarmists, please take note
