You’d think Ian Hislop would be all over climategate. Government pays scientists and they say things that are very convenient to government. But on Have I Got News For You this evening he sneered at the blogosphere for being bonkers and mentioning Hitler all the time, and went on about how there are actually real scientists who know all about climate change and it’s only Sarah Palin and the Daily Mail who say otherwise.
James May didn’t agree, and got accused of getting his opinions from Jeremy Clarkson and hissed at by the audience for saying he didn’t care about the planet. Reginald D Hunter seemed somewhat skeptical too, but he was being funny (he *is* funny) so it’s hard to say what he really thinks.
Still, it’s another sign in the mainstream media that there is a debate going on.
