Dorian Wood. Born in 1949 he fiirst became interested in politics aged 8 when the gift of a crystal set wireles enabled him to listen to the BBC Home Service.

Climate (sic) "Science" Mythology and an Historical Perspective. 

One of the few benefits of being old is a weary perspective - that our untameable climate has caused self-acclaimed scientists to be perpetually baffled.
