It's strange how easily a thoughtless epigram can become a political movement's epitaph. Last year, Daily Telegraph climate punditoid and wannabe United Kingdom Independent Party candidate James ' I'm always right ' Dellingpole sent groans through denierdom by telling Royal Society president Sir Paul Nurse on BBC prime -time:
‘It’s not my job to sit down and read peer reviewed papers.
I'm an interpreter of interpretations.'
He's just been upstaged by the unlikeliest of competitors, a scatologically challenged troll styled 'economart GM' AKA Gary Marshall, who found his muse in FORBES yesterday with a remark in defense of Heartland Institute dogsbody James Taylor that deserves to be engraved in Comic Sans on a small slate tablet:
'WE ARE SKEPTICS, NOT SCIENTIFIC THEORISTS.
WE DON’T HAVE ANY SCIENTIFIC THEORIES.
THAT IS NOT OUR JOB.
IT’S YOURS. '
