Summary: In this episode, Mr Lens treads on the rather dodgy ground of climate change scepticism. He starts by pointing out that although he is against fracking, dumping nuclear waste, deforestation, over fishing and other things that damage our ecology, nevertheless he is sceptical about the official version of climate change peddled by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) on behalf of the United Nations. He talks about how the Medieval Warm Period has been doctored out of the Earth’s temperature history to make this side of the 20th Century look disproportionately warmer than the last millennium, and how cosmic ray and solar activity is more consistent with warming and cooling than CO2 is, and asks if this dubious pseudoscience is being peddled with a malevolent agenda to bring in draconian measures, wouldn’t you want to know?
