Thanks to petepassword for this Time Magazine spoof cover
So why did David Rose put a forgery of a Time Magazine cover in the Mail on Sunday? Well, the simple answer is that there weren't any real Time covers which supported his point, otherwise I'm sure he would have used one of them. His point was, to quote Michael Crichton, "in the 1970′s (sic) all the climate scientists believed an ice age was coming.”
The subtext being that climate scientists are slightly hysterical doom-mongers who were wrong then and so can be wrong now. I'm sure you can guess who really has the monopoly on wrongness in this debate.

Once in a while, roughly every month or two, Daily Mail
journalist David Rose likes to focus his laser-like mind on the twisting
swindlers of the so-called scientific community, and write a big exposé of the
Great Climate Hoax. He's an expert on hoaxes, and so would never be caught out by one himself. You would think.
We've heard from an inside source that Angela Merkel the German Chancellor called Prime Minister David Cameron last night in a bid to block a critical law to make cleaner European cars. Ministers were supposed to agree the law today.
Another day another attempt to kill a clean car law in its tracks.
Or so it seems. Because only the other week I wrote about the German government’s last ditch attempt to sabotage a law that will cut CO2 emissions from cars and provide 400,000 new jobs by 2030 across Europe. Now they're back with round two. No prizes for guessing that they’ve gone for stamina over originality.
Lord Lawson: expert witness in the defence of Big Oil
On Tuesday, the Energy Bill we’re all so exercised about (oh yes you are) went for its
second reading in the Lords. Their lordships Teverson, Deben, Prescott, Oxburgh and
others spoke well. Stern and Worthington are actually worth reading.
German environment minister Peter Altmaier is keen to keep gas guzzlers on the road
It was 6.30am in Luxembourg and we were all keen to start. We got into our vans ready to launch our final action for cleaner cars in Europe. But this morning it was different. Instead of a handful of national activists calling on a car company to clean up its act, we went big.
There were thirty of us from across Europe who came together for the whole day to unveil a banner, placards and hand out flyers telling European governments to stand up to the bullying of Germany and its environment minister Peter Altmaier.
