Science and Technology Select Committee: devoid of women, devoid of legitimacy

The principles of the diversity brigade seem to be rather flexible. If there weren't any women it would apparently be "devoid of legitimacy"; One could ask why, as many people have under Prof Donald's Guardian article. (By the way, it's now been announced that Vicky Ford is on the committee). But when it comes to any diversity in terms of opinion, Prof Donald seems to be against it - see her sneering remarks about Graham Stringer.

Your statement that Lord Lawson and “his” Global Warming Policy Foundation are “climate-change-denying” is not true. Lord Lawson, as he points out every time he is questioned on the subject, does not deny the reality of climate change, but simply questions its magnitude and potential effects, and the same goes for Graham Stringer, whose disagreements with the “consensus” are scientific disagreements. It is extremely disappointing to see distinguished scientists repeating this error.
