No Ant, it has gone on ever since B grade universities, & their C grade academics needed to publish or perish, & scientist became public servants who had get grants or become unemployed.

While ever these low rent academics need grants to keep their job, the public will continue to be fed this bulldust, dummies in the media will continue to publish their press releases, it's easier than gathering real news, & the really dumb, or just plain lazy, will continue to believe & regurgitate it, as if they knew which way was up.

So "... it has gone on ever since B grade universities, & their C grade academics ....?"

Fourier in the 1820s, Foote and Tyndall later in the 1800s and so on developed the science of climate change. Fourier's theorems are still used, he was no C grade academic.

All Universities that teach climate change are "B" grade; what nonsense, Hasbeen.

You clearly do not understand ... data collected from the troposphere and stratosphere tells lies??

Ant, I am not sure if you are up to reading this but have a go anyway, https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/apr/04/fuel-duty-cut-for-diesel-cars-was-wrong-says-ex-chief-science-adviser
See what I mean Matey? He was too stupid and lazy to check anything but greedy enough to take industry goodies and hang the people who were paying him. Even worse, where is your "Peer review"? You and your ilk babble on about science, sources and peer review well here it is in all its glory.
If only I did not have to pay for this fraud and with no consequences for this lazy dishonest fool, Sir David King, who only blames others. Mate you would have to be an ex public servant?

The first sentence of your reference reads:

"David King, who served Labour and Tory governments, says he was misled by car industry over levels of diesel pollution"
You might recall that VW has been in trouble in many countries for falsifying emissions from their diesel motors.

Its the same as EPA being misled by fossil fuel companies a few years ago about old capped fracking sites being secure and not emitting methane. Independent assessments showed that the fossil fuel companies were not providing accurate information. A matter discussed on Years of Living Dangerously, Four Corners regarding Australia and Ecowatch. The team from Years of Living Dangerously measured methane escaping ... the news was not good:

Come off it Ant, it was all the greenie activists, trying to denigrate petrol, Greenpeace, WWF & the rest, that pushed diesel, & peanuts like King sucking up to the greenies that caused the blunder.

Just about every thing you & your ratbag mates want always produce unintended consequences. You know stuff all about anything, so fall for every bit of propaganda no matter how ludicrous.

If there is a menace, & a threat to life, it is you fools.

Oh god! On the news tonight, they have resurrected the Crowns Of Thorns scare yet again.

You certainly can't call this marine biologist lot very imaginative, no where near as imaginative as the climate fraudsters.
