I am not going to add to them because we need to take seriously his attitude towards climate change. I would not have a problem with him having doubts about scientific thinking and then citing the dissenters to mainstream thinking. What is wrong with his attitude is that he is not even open-minded. He has decided that climate change is not man made, as if he represents the highest scientific authority. This makes him dangerous as a politician. He will reach the conclusions that he wants to reach and then look for the evidence to support it after the event. There have been a lot of jokes made about Wilson.
