Of course climate science should be left to climate scientists. It's
mistrust of the 'spin' sometimes put on 'scientific' findings which leads to
scepticism, I suspect. For example, Home Office statistics show that 'crime'
is increasing, hence the surrender of civil liberties is justified. Or
driving Range Rovers causes global warming, hence increases on taxes on 4x4s
is justified, etc.
