An Orwellian example…
I’ve spent the last day or so reading the responses by Dr Paul G Bain to the various emails and such he received in reply to the letter to Nature – “Promoting pro-environmental action in climate change deniers” (Paul G Bain et al) The gist of his response is that he regrets the word “deniers”, which … Continue reading
