No need to panic — probably | The Spectator
http://www.spectator.co.uk/books/598831/no-need-to-panic-probably
The Spectator from 1 per week. Books & Arts. No need to panic — probably. When there is so much data suggesting the world’s climate is heating up, some may find it presumptuous of Nigel Lawson, who is not a scientist and has undertaken no original research, to hope to challenge the prevailing orthodoxy. Would we take seriously an appraisal of his time as Chancellor of Exchequer written by someone whose only expertise was in oceanography? An Appeal to Reason. Duckworth, pp.149, 9.99. For some, this will b...

Subscribe from 1 per week. Books & Arts. Four reasons why this year’s Labour party conference felt so weak. There are many reasons why Labour conference felt flat this year, and many of them are out of the party’s control. But there are a number of things that the party could help, and they were much more powerful than any of the confounding factors. 1 Ed Miliband’s poorly-delivered speech. The party leader’s decision to memorise. 2 Exposing the gaps in Miliband’s speech. You might also like. Ed Miliband...

Interstellar: like Star Trek – but dumber and more tiring

The Spectator from 1 per week. Books & Arts. Interstellar: like Star Trek but dumber and more tiring. Please let the obliteration begin so we can all go home, writes Deborah Ross. Christopher Nolan’s futuristic epic. How can anyone know what nature’s intentions might be? What did it intend for dinosaurs, for example? The use of ‘mankind’, rather than ‘humankind’, is also telling, as this is very much in the tradition of the alpha-male American superhero who single-handedly saves us (ladies too! There is ...

The great recycling myth
http://www.spectator.co.uk/features/9106352/why-kerbside-recycling-is-just-slave-labour-for-councils
The Spectator from 1 per week. Books & Arts. The great recycling myth. There's absolutely no need to separate our rubbish by hand. That may come as a surprise to you, but think about it for a moment. We are the generation that built the large hadron collider. Do you really think that it has been beyond human ingenuity to invent a simple and cheap machine that can distinguish a tin can from a glass bottle?
