''Sorry BBC. The world isn't interested in the West's groupthink obsession with global warming''

''Christopher John Penrice Booker (born 7 October 1937) is a British journalist and author. In 1961, he was one of the founders of the magazine Private Eye, and has contributed to it since then. He has been a columnist for The Sunday Telegraph since 1990.[1] He has taken a stance which runs counter to the scientific consensus on a number of issues, including global warming, the link between passive smoking and cancer,[2] and the dangers posed by asbestos.[3] In 2009, he published The Real Global Warming Disaster''

Cheers for that Sydney. I hadn't had the pleasure of reading his insights previously.

I particularly like this article, in which he conclusively proves that, because it is colder in the Arctic in February than it is in September, global warming is a left-wing conspiracy.

Absolute genius.

He was a rubbish editor of the Eye too, it took a coup by Ingrams when Booker was on holiday to get him out.

Yep, he's a total plonka, but dangerous too.
