Mail on Sunday launches the first salvo in the latest war against climate scientists | John Abraham

David Rose penned an attack described by expert as "so wrong it's hard to know where to start"

In this new political era, climate scientists and their science are under attack. The attack is from multiple fronts, from threats to pull funding of the important instruments they use to measure climate change, to slashing their salaries and jobs. But there is a real fear of renewed personal attacks, and it appears those fears are now being realized. What the attackers do is identify and isolate scientists - a process termed the "Serengeti Strategy" by well-known and respected scientist Michael Mann who suffered these types of attacks for years.
