Threadbare argument of those in denial

-

IT is very disappoint­ing to see that Dr Phillip Bratby, in his most recent letter, stoops low enough to call into question the integrity of the many thousands of highly dedicated and expert climate scientists in many different countries and different types of institutio­ns who publish findings in top quality, peerreview­ed scientific journals that contradict his views on climate change.

This is a well-known and threadbare argument of those denying that human activity has been the primary driver of recent global warming. As to the work of ‘independen­t scientists and particular­ly eminent physicists’ and their ‘hundreds’ of scientific papers, just a couple of citations will suffice, but preferably not from the Global Warming Policy Foundation.
