“…The public polls go up and down on this, with Climategate and all these other things. But if you step back and dispassionately look at it, this is a little wart on the overall amount of information. It’s a little bump…”
To think that James Delingpole will be forever connected to the epithet of “little wart” is highly amusing, in the extreme.
