Memorandum submitted by Ian Goddard (CRU
10)
You are quoted in the press today as referring
to those who are sceptical about the fashionable obsession with
climate change as "climate change deniers".
It is a great pity that the Chairman of the
Commons Science and Technology Committee is so blatantly blinkered.
If you believe that this sort of attitude to those who demand
more evidence than a flawed film by Al Gore and a discredited
Hockey Stick graph is helpful then you will not succeed in
your goal of convincing the sceptics. After all, in the early
60s the fashion was to use many of the factors cited as causing
warming today to support predictions of cooling and a mini Ice
Age.
Your Committee appears to be partisan in its
treatment of this subject and I, for one, will view its pontifications
accordingly.
