Truly excellent to see the 'turning of the tide' in action .... beautiful. The sight of that awful lady being put back in her box by the presenter outlining the basic statements in the IPCC report was great. And her reply was what ? A train ride to Oxford and the wisdom the crowds ? OMG.
The comments of Eccles Uncle and others here led to an idea of how Matt Ridley might have refuted the 97%. I'd be grateful for any feedback on that
One suspects her arguments sounded so weak because she is used to preaching to the choir and has not tested them against genuinely critical opposition. The honeymoon period does seem to be over.
