Murdoch's Singer

Donald Trump's campaign against the environment and particularly action to halt climate change, given the president's obvious ignorance of the issues needs intellectual bolstering. I've just been alerted to an article which is of that kind, continuing to seek to cast doubt on the now well established science that climate change is being caused by human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). The article, which appeared in the Wall Street Journal on May 18th - a Murdoch owned paper - was penned by climate change denier Fred Singer. It suggested that sea level rise was not attributable to CO2, whilst at the same time accepting that sea levels are rising. Without going into the scientific arguments, which I am not competent to do, it is clear that Singer's claims are false, and are comprehensively debunked here. What worries me is that POTUS will be able to use published material, which is for want of a better word 'fake' to continue his monomaniacal demolition of such things as the Environmental Protection Agency and his promotion of fossil fuels. Fred Singer, the author of the piece has been debunked more times than Inspector Lestrade, so how is it that his piece could see the light of day in the Wall Street Journal? I accept that at the age of 87, Rupert doesn't himself have much of a stake in the issue of climate change. Fred Singer, by the way is 93.
