The pet project of that reputable and unbiased source, Nigel Lawson. No timetable has been set for the panel to report. No great surprise. They probably don't want to have the same embarrassment as Koch's funding of the Berkeley temperature study. I wait to be pleasantly surprised, but if this research goes against what Lawson wants to see, I very much doubt he would agree with it. If it goes against what I would expect, I would be interested. I would love for global warming to be a myth. The more I look into it, the more it seems to be pretty solid though. edit - something I find funny is that between them, Lawson and Thatcher are two the UK's most effective environmentalists, given they oversaw the dismantling of the UK coal industry. With the result that much of the UK left wing believes in some romantic sense that the UK should be digging up coal still, just so long as we don't burn the stuff. edit2 - oh, the panel is chaired by Terence Kealey. The man who has made himself infamous by being against the government funding any science research or providing any state schooling, is heading a science project funded by a voting member of the House of Lords and former government chancellor.
