Just as true here in the UK, as in America.

Of course, the right are hardly blameless in using scaremongering for

that GW scientific methodology that you claim to possess. It's a
consensus among the Left.

In short, it's useful to the left.

Since their pet ideology collapsed with the fall of the Soviet Union,
they had to find something else to jerk off to...
