Newsnight...

And Nigel's just been on Newsnight on the BBC as well! Up against Prof. Chris Rapley CBE from the Science Museum it has been fascinating. "An Appeal To Reason" is the title of Lawson's book (and it was the title of the lecture I alluded to earlier) - Paxman quoted from the book, "It is better to do nothing than to do something stupid." Nice, I like it. Lawson's point is that devoting all to Mitigation based on, in my opinion, groupthink, is indeed stupid. Moreover, the economics of it all, and this is primarily Lawson's point, don't make sense.

I know you tend to get that for which you are looking, but I think Chris lost that particular one, and he was looking as one on the back foot.

Altogether now: "The Times They Are Achanging"...
