Has Philip Eden been replaced by Christopher Booker at the telegraph or
are they just trying to keep the balance between hot and cold. I've
just had a quick glimpse of some of his stuff and it appears he has
been told to wield an axe.

Booker has been writing virulent anti-AGW and anti-Met Office stuff in
his page at the Sunday Telegraph for many years. He was doing so long
before Philip stopped writing his weekly column that appeared next to
the forecast. Booker views the Met Office as dishonest propagandists for
AGW. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Lawrence writes his weather
pieces for him.
