Lord Deben, chairman of the Committee on Climate Change, condemned the media for seeking to balance climate change proponents with sceptics.
Science in favour of climate change ‘akin to evidence linking smoking to cancer’ – Telegraph
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

The AGW movement — aka “The Warming Scare” — is all about money, power and political control. And Lord Deben understands that. He and the other elitists, power brokers and greedy climate researchers who stand to gain from the scare will do anything to preserve the myth of anthropogenic global warming. The good news is that science is on the side of the AGW skeptics and realists.
Why can’t they just discuss the science? Oh yeah, nevermind.
Another profiteer of the war against the poor.
John Selwyn Gummer was probably amongst the 10 worst government ministers in the 20th century, and that’s saying something considering the completion. Somehow, by the grace of god (and he is a important lay member of the Church of England so maybe there is a god after all – one with a malevolent sense of humour) , he has survived in shadowy super-bureaucratic committees and power-broking backroom, displaying the worst hypocrisies of the old Tory party grandees. He is proof positive of the axiom that the shit always rises. Your headline captured the lunacy of the British ruling classes ever being allowed to rule
John Gummer, alias Lord Deben (the title an embarrassment to a fine Suffolk River and good folk from East Anglia).
For decades since he was my MP I have looked upon him as a ‘useful fool’ and self seaker. Does anyone listen to this Chairamn of Violia (environmantal company) anymore (did they ever)?

During the IPCC meeting here is Stockholm, there was a Swedish gathering, where the Chairman proudly announced that there are 170 climate researchers working in the Stockholm area. 170! Then you realise what is at stake here. If there are so many just in Stockholm, what is the total amount of researchers worldwide whose salary depend on the CAGW scare.
It is frustrating to read what non-scientific politicians say when they pretend to be scientifically literate. he wants to draw a parallel between smoking/cancer and CO2/climate? OK…
There are Ice Age cycles of glaciation and warming that recur about every 100,000 years. We have data on appreciable CO2 increases for about 50 years — about 1/2,000 of a cycle. The average person lives about 25,000 days, so 1/2,000 part of that is about 12.5 days. Imagine you ran some research on smoking and cancer. You had one test subject who took up smoking and then quit less than two weeks later. At the end of that time you checked to see if he had developed cancer, yes or no. Pretty stupid, right?
Well, that is how much we know for certain about CO2 and climate.
The are all addicted to power. And they always need more and more and more. NEVER believe a person with an addiction. One thing is sure , they don’t live a happy life people with a happy life don’t need this.
This of course could be no reason for long cancer.

If he told the truth, the committee would be dissolved. He will keep whipping this long dead horse for the foreseeable future.
John Selwyn Gummer (Lord Deben), at the time of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) scandal, fed a beef burger to his small daughter in front of the media, to demonstrate its safety. Anything for the cause. I wish I had some principles, like him.
He looks like a Dr. Seuss (or John Cleese) character. I have never taken anyone who looks like that seriously, in my whole life. Haven’t the British learned anything from 900 years of kings and lords?
Whatever happened with BSE? Weren’t there supposed to be tens of thousands dying by now?
Whatever happened to AGW? Wasn’t it supposed to be hotting up by now?
Whatever happened to science? Do they get anything right, ever?
At least with smoking, there were an abnormal amount of people getting lung cancer. Now we are getting fewer hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, droughts, etc. You could make a case that “climate change” is more like a cure for lung cancer!
This clown has a huge conflict of interest.
Do the ad-hoc crusaders for climate justice (trolls) being lefties to a man ever feel chagrined by the fact that the big time players in the climate con are the horrendously wealthy and megalomaniacal?
‘Lord” Deden obviously doesn’t know about the hard science of Epidemiology. Which has ‘linked’ smoking to ‘higher incidence’ of cancer. Which is the same science used to amplify the asbestos scare of the 70’s. But neither these study groups show a 1 to 1 (100%) incidence response! Many smokers died of old age before cancer, many asbestos exposed people have no health reaction. All this type of epidemiology can do is define an ‘average’ increased risk. Climatology, do to the complexity of the climate system, isn’t even believable as a risk analysis method, much less as defining absolute climate into the future.
