			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>James Delingpole writes a web log for the Daily Telegraph newspaper.</p>
<p>I find his pronouncements about Global Warming contentious, and littered with sceptical myths and denier legends.</p>
<p>It seemed like a good moment to enquire about his education, to check whether his ideological background can lend weight to his commentary, or in contrast, set him up to be a lightweight.</p>

<p>Dear Mr Delingpole,</p>
<p>May I politely enquire as to your scientific training ? From what I can find out about your studies, you do not appear to have turned your inestimable talent to the physical sciences.</p>
<p>I would like to know if you have a basic understanding of elementary physics and chemistry at the very least, in order to ascertain whether you do or do not have the competence to pronounce on Climate Change science.</p>
<p>In your writing you seem to rely on personal commentary about those engaged in the science, and use inexact, qualified generalisations to make your points.</p>
<p>This is perhaps amusing, but not accurate, so I would wish to know if you have a comprehension of what you are discussing.</p>
<p>Are you a cracked pot or a sound vessel ? Can you be relied upon for Global Warming science and news, or not ?</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Ms J. Abbess BSc</p>
