This was not in the middle of nowhere, but in prime Buckinghamshire farmland: some of the most fertile and longest farmed in England.

		<title>Climate Change Deniers Aren&#8217;t Like Scientists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last November, illegally obtained emails were publicised widely by climate change deniers, most strident among them Nigel Lawson, who claimed that the scientists must be exagerating their findings and not sharing the real data.

		<title>Climate Shenanegans and Does What Scientists Say Matter?</title>

		<title>Global Warming is not the problem&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was sent an article from which the following is an extract: from Population and Development Review, Vol. 20, no. 1 (March 1994) Action is needed now Humanity is approaching a crisis point with respect to the interlocking issues of population, environment, and development.
