One encouraging development in recent years has been the way the global warming hoaxers have been put on the defensive, and are no longer treated with unquestioning adulation from the media that they once enjoyed. The highpoint for this hoax was the peri
It was Clement Attlee who famously told a Labour colleague that a period of silence from him would now be welcome, thereby inadvertently earning himself an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations. And it is certainly true that there are times
