David Cameron's former Chief of Staff Alex Deane puts his climate-sceptic head above the parapet today on ConHome, ironically to tell all the other blue green deniers to keep their heads down for the moment.
He doesn't believe that climate change is linked to human activity because he has read one wayward book that breaks with evidence that the overwhelming majority of climate scientists believe is effectively incontrovertible.
Like so many others I am terrified by the idea that leading politicians and decision-makers publicly or privately ignore the greater mass of scientific thinking on an issue which most scientists believe could shape life on earth radically.
Does it matter that his background links him so closely with the Conservative leader? Probably not. Still, its a little embarrassing nonetheless.
