Hotly debated

For anybody worried that there might be some justification to alarmist claims of Greenland melting, a peer-reviewed paper confirms melting “not statistically significantly different from the reconstructed melt extent during 20 other melt seasons, primarily during 1923–1961”. So not only less than medieval and 5,000BC warmings, but not more serious than the 1930s.

Stephen Moreton and Roy Turnball (Letters, 20 September) picked up my error of saying that the warmists had falsely claimed 12 per cent of Greenland melted instead of 15 per cent.

The none-trivial bit is that neither is true. In turn, Mr Turnball should answer a question I asked him here previously. From among the 60 per cent not paid by the state can he name a single scientist, anywhere, who supports the widely advertised catastrophic warming “consensus”?

Al Gore claimed, untruthfully, massive sea level rises had already taken place and that they would shortly reach 20 feet. He is in Scotland shortly, along with Chris Huhne and Alex Salmond, to congratulate us on having the world’s most destructive CO² regulations, requiring the destruction of 80 per cent of our electricity supply and economy over the next eight years.

Gore has managed to avoid ever having to answer any serious questions while talking such obvious nonsense.

Really, I trust that Moreton and Turnball’s eye for detail, along with the massed Scottish media, will seek his acknowledgement of such glaring alarmist inanities
