Climate sceptics should be 'crushed and buried': Sir Paul Nurse attacks politicians who 'distort' facts on global warming

Daily Mail
Politicians who do not believe in climate change should be 'crushed and buried', according to the new president of the British Science Association.
Sir Paul Nurse, who starts his presidency next week, pledged to 'take on' the 'serial offenders' who he accused of cherry picking scientific facts to suit their arguments.
In an extraordinary outburst, Sir Paul accused those who refuse to accept scientific orthodoxy on global warming of 'distorting' the facts.
Sir Paul launched what could be interpreted as a thinly-veiled attack on former Environment Secretary Owen Paterson, who is widely viewed as a climate sceptic.
He also targeted climate sceptic lobby groups such as that run by former Chancellor Lord Nigel Lawson."

From the Comments: "What happens when politicians use science to justify their policies, There is only one truth, their truth. "Today we have those who mix science up with ideology and politics" Does the damn fool realise he talking about himself?"
