Since Covid, some anti-establishment sceptics have been drawn to question whether weather is being manipulated, cancer treatment should be rejected and pesticides should be banned. This is unhelpful, argues Ben Pile.
Global food supplies face collapse if the use of nitrogen fertiliser is restricted under Net Zero requirements. Yet even the alarmists' models show nitrogen oxides make a negligible contribution to global warming.
