   Maggie was persuaded by John Houghton.

   I doubt she was ever really signed up, but tried to use it as way to promote nuclear power, which in turn would reduce dependence on coal, so marginalising Arthur Scargill and co.

   And what politician can’t resist the electoral advantages of saving the planet.

     She was supposed to be made of steel.

   Boy, she really knows how to scare people. And she’s a superhero of the right. Global warming is supposed to be from the left. She’s the one that kicked this little game off. Reminds me why I hate politics.

   Thatcher becomes latest recruit in Monckton’s climate sceptic campaign

   Monckton’s use of Britain’s former PM illustrates that climate denialism is about politics, not science
