* * * If you write something, as I have done with Chill, which is a rational, critical appraisal of
the whole situation, you would at least expect to have some dialogue. But there has been nothing. I
haven't had a single invitation to speak to any of these groups. Even universities have been
reticent. I have been invited to speak at Leeds University, which has quite a strong climate
community, and the Energy Institute. But the environmental community has been absolutely silent
towards me. I would challenge them to bring all of their experts to the table and hammer it out.
* * * We're seeing the dangerous development here of a very intolerant political ideology. It is a
very strange political and scientific situation, in which vast sums of money are underwriting a
bureaucracy of climate accountants and auditors, and in which academic funding is easier to obtain
if you put man-made climate change at the top of your research proposal. I have never seen anything
like it in the 40 years of my scientific and environmental career.
