There is no New World Order conspiracy
This post was therefore not published yesterday (i.e. International Workers’ Day). Since publishing my book, I have been contacted by a number of academics in a variety of countries who are doing – or have done – research into climate … Continue reading
World’s biggest watermelon found in Washington DC
No doubt, this is what James Delingpole would say but, yet again, he would be wrong… For those not quite with me on this, Delingpole has written two versions of a reality-deficient book, Watermelons, in which he massages the consciences … Continue reading
The Greatest Lie Ever Told

A letter to the (right-wing) Editors
A transcript of my recent email to the Editors of the Daily Express, Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph newspapers here in the UK… Dear [x], Please don’t let your newspaper become anachronistic Please forgive the unsolicited email, which I hope … Continue reading
Graham Stringer MP is no Watermelon
In my recent posts, I examined Roger Scruton’s timely reminder that it is no accident that Conservatism and conservation sound so similar; Marcel Wissenburg’s attempt to claim that Liberalism is not the evil genius behind our environmental crisis; and Mary … Continue reading
The ecological challenge for Socialism
A Review of ‘Socialism’ by Mary Mellor, in Dobson, A. and Eckersley, R. (2006), Political Theory and the Ecological Challenge (pp.35-50), Cambridge: CUP. In the first two chapters of Political Theory and the Ecological Challenge, the contributing authors, Roger Scruton … Continue reading
Climate Change – It’s an Inside Job

My latest plea to James Delingpole
Dear James, As promised, I have published my review of Watermelons on Amazon. Notwithstanding the forthcoming addition to your Coward franchise, can I implore you, please, to read stuff like Prof. Peter Sale’s new book, “Our Dying Planet“, before considering … Continue reading
