One of my resolutions this year has been to try to avoid the use of personal invective against the insufferably thick, dribble-mouthed, grant-troughing, pathologically mendacious, small-penised, knuckle-dragging, impotent, spavined, dishonest, compromised, sub-redbrick-educated inadequates, poltroons and borderline criminals on the opposing side of the climate change debate. As you can see, it’s not always easy. But I do try my best, really I do. “They’re not really bad people, most of them,” I try to remind myself. “They’re just, well, a touch low grade; a bit not actually that good at what they’re supposed to do for their living – and for which we, the taxpayer, often pay them.” For this reason, I absolutely refuse to say a single bad word about Professor Piers Forster, a pleasantly zany-looking climate scientist from the University of Leeds, who has been roped in by the Carbon Brief website to diss an article I recently wrote for Breitbart headed Global Cooling Discovery May Scupper Paris Climate Talks. He told them: “To say that it is potentially important for climate change is so far from the mark as to be quite crazy.” I expect that Carbon Brief was pleased with this quote. Carbon Brief is a very professionally produced, EU financed eco-propaganda
