I loved this quote in Nature last week. British understatement at its finest

Climate change 2007: Climate sceptics switch focus to economics

It remains to be seen whether these (global warming skeptics') arguments will gain much
traction. Alan Thorpe of Britain's Natural Environment Research Council, which hosted an
online debate to canvass climate sceptics on their views, says that such views range from lazy

"I think there is a degree to which there is mischievous use of scepticism," he says.
"Sceptics want to accuse scientific society of wanting a particular policy outcome, but actual
policy is up to governments."
