Impact agenda ‘enables climate change scholar-activists’

What an appallingly biased opinion piece. Read is a an extremist who has recently been called out by climate scientists for exaggerating, misleading and terrifying children. Yet you make no mention of this. Here are a few of their comments. Steve Forden: "Am increasingly of the opinion that someone needs to tell Rupert Read to stop talking." Tamsin Edwards: "Rupert, I am shocked at this talk. Please stop telling children they may not grow up due to climate change. It is WRONG and deflects from the fact it is poor people who are at risk due to inequality exacerbated by shifts in weather." Mark Maslin: "@GreenRupertRead I completely agree with @flimsin this is an awful talk - this is as bad as 'climate change denial'. Scaring children is not big and not clever - the philosophy of fear does not work and basically you undermine everything scientists are doing. So STOP these talks." Has TImesHigher abandoned academic rigour and become a mouthpiece for a fanatical doom cult?
