website. The thrust of the piece is that sceptics should be ignored. Nothing new there, I hear you say. However, her argument includes this take on the Hockey Stick. That said, I suspect the other defence of 'balance' is that it is 'entertaining'. Most producers don't bother to hide their utter disdain when I suggest that having two scientists who look like they may agree would make for an equally entertaining debate. But I mean it. Anyone who reads Fred Pearce's brilliant new book on the UEA (University of East Anglia) emails can testify that the really interesting disputes about ...

No two countries or alliances anywhere in the world have identical motives. One forms an alliance based on points of cooperation not of divergence. Why is that taken as evidence of �tenuous� relations? This week, the operative word has been tenuous. While briefing the Senate Committee in the US, General David Petraeus declared that in his opinion the security situation in Afghanistan is �tenuous�. The flimsiness of the situation, which the word tenuous refers to, was also on the mind of Pakistani-origin defence analyst Shuja Nawaz.
