The pseudo-science in Martin Durkin’s “The Great Global Warming Swindle” which I’ve just watched on ABC tonight has been so rigorously debunked that I’m tempted not to even discuss it, but… The short of the counter-argument to his so called documentary is that the solar-radiance model of climate has been valid for most of [...]

It is already old news apparently, but I’ve only just now seen the videos from the White House Correspondence Association dinner.

THE mother of a West Lothian schoolgirl who became pregnant at the age of 11 today told how she was “proud” of her daughter.
