May 4, 2010 dated posting. And the author's bio: "James Delingpole is a writer, journalist and broadcaster who is right about everything. He is the author of numerous fantastically entertaining books including 365 Ways to Drive a Liberal Crazy, Welcome To Obamaland: I've Seen Your Future And It Doesn't Work, How To Be Right,...." suggests that he is a propagandist on the right rather than a journalist, someone blessed with a passion to promote a particular belief system rather than present dispassionate factual information and closely argued analysis. I do wonder why this got posted to HN. Despite huge efforts to sow FUD in the area of global warming, the basic premises have been established--climate is changing, those changes are going to be detrimental, and that most of those changes are due to human activities--and yet there are folks who find solace in one scientist's opinion simply because it differs from the opinion held by the vast majority of other scientists. I'd have no problem with discussion of climate change and human activity--that's a problem that involves everyone and one which presents opportunities for start-ups, but to persist in beating the "global warming is not happening" drum makes no sense here. Such religious issues ought to be taken elsewhere.
