Reference :- Sky News presenter Andy Bolt interviewed his comrade Rowan Dean who is a self taught climate change expert .

Reference :-  Watching all the " global warming craziness " could be enough to make Andy Bolt  hit the bottle . 

Andy and Rowan , you kept asking the question  " Who are these scientists who believe in climate change ? "   It's a good question indeed gentleman , and we are here to help you find the answer . 

Of course Ken junior , the crazy leftist , reckons you could just pick the name of any scientist at random from the telephone directory and there is a 97% chance that they will be one of the ones you are seeking . 

But is that true ?   Climate scientists claim  it is true of their own area of expertise , but it's unlikely that they speak for all scientists . 

 What about entomologists  and cosmologists and geneticists and dentists and all those other folk sporting  " ist " suffixes in their curricula vitae  .    Do they believe in the crazy climate change predictions ? 

 Fortunately somebody has recently done the hard work and explored this question .  And not a crazy leftist , thankfully . That comfortably conservative periodical our billionaires enjoy perusing ( Forbes Magazine ) recently published an article by a learned lecturer at Houston University named Eric Ritchie .  That well researched article tells us precisely what we need to know . 

 Mr Ritchie  ( no the name is not made up ) has great experience as a lecturer in  construction management for  the oil and gas industries .  Clearly he could be relied upon to produce an unbiased assessment of this supposed fossil fuel induced climate change crisis. 

 And as expected , after much manipulation of the figures from several studies , he has concluded that the 97 % figure is a gross exaggeration . 

 Indeed , he believes that the true figure sits somewhere between 80 % and 90%.  

 Ken junior reckons that certain scientists who are making a few quid from the fossil fuel industry , like geologists , might be reluctant to bite the hand that feeds them . But what has that got to do with anything ?  The numbers are the numbers I say , and you wouldn't catch me cancelling a joy flight just because 80 % of the engineers who checked the plane said it would crash . 

 Your comrade , Ken . 

PS   Rowan , might I suggest you start each interview with Andy by giving him a warm smile . At the moment you glance at him with a look that suggests you are worried about how much Scotch is perfusing his liver .... and his brain .
