Matthew D'Ancona (via Iain Dale):

"It's not even that I am especially sceptical about climate change.
It's the sanctimonious style of the green lobby and their ministerial accomplices I cannot stand: the collective smugness that comes with absolute
moral certainty of any sort and the readiness to disdain and scorn anyone who dares to dissent, even slightly, from any aspect of the new orthodoxy."

"Let me give you just one fact. If the Himalayan glaciers melt, three-quarters of a billion people will be without sufficient water. We cannot pretend that this would not have serious consequences for all of us – in terms of global conflict, the mass movements of people and our national security. Of course, there will always be some who deny the science and the scope of the threat posed. They say ninety percent certainty is not good enough. But that is not a justification for inaction. I say to them, would you ask your children to live in a house which ninety percent of the experts told you was going to burn down?"
