I never
realised until yesterday how useful an HGV driving licence
could be. If I’d realised that it
qualified the holder to dispute the well-established consensus view of
academics and researchers on matters such as climate change, I might have tried
to get one. I had foolishly believed
that it dealt only with the finer points of driving a lorry.
Now that my
misconceptions have been so dispelled, I can only support the proposal that one
particular holder of such a licence should indeed be given a platform to debate
climate science with those who have the temerity to claim to be experts in the
field, a claim whose sole basis is many years of study and research.
Any suggestion
that I might be looking forward to the prospect of the MP for Monmouth making
himself “look silly” as he put it in
his own words would be no more than foul calumny. The only slight problem that I foresee is
finding a serious climate scientist willing to pit his knowledge and learning
against someone who possesses such an outstandingly relevant qualification as an HGV licence.
