Re: Climate fearmongering, Ryan Price, (Times, November 16).
Ryan Price exhorts us not to fear rising CO2 levels. Funnily enough, none of the claims he makes – all highly visible and cherished on a certain sort of internet site – seem to persuade any significant number of scientists who work and publish in the field, or professors of physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, mathematics, or economics, or university leaders, or government or independent research institutions, or prestigious scientific societies, or the IPCC (responsible for considering the evidence for and against and publishing synthesis reports), or world governments, or even rational, informed members of the public … that the science is wrong and the scientific consensus is fake.
I’m sure it’s true Mr Price does not want his grandchildren condemned to “miserable poverty”, so now might be a good time to explain to them why he holds the views he does, contrary to all the evidence, then at least they might have a reason to forgive him when their lives turn to s*** after he’s made good his departure from this life himself.
