Did you notice that the source you cited got character

rules science (Lysenkoism).


Your source was called out for his well-known agenda, his repeated
denial of basic scientific facts and his overall lack of credibility.


That "journalist" really is lacking in credibility but then if we go on
to the links back to Homewood, The Tele source, at least it can be said
that he put more effort into his hoodwinking than the "journalist".

You've got to hand it to Homewood, he's got a nice little hoodwink line
going on there. People such as the Telegraph "journalist" and others
who go to his site must just believe him without going on to check his
sources. They must be either lazy or stupid or will buy cheap sea side
land that only gets wet twice a day. If they did check the links
Homewood gives, it becomes very clear, very quickly, that Homewood also
is not the least bit credible.


Indeed. Most folks will not take the extra step that is needed these
days to verify what they see online.


Sigh. I used to think that full access to knowledge and verifiable
facts online would create in informed citizenry.

Boy was I wrong. All it has done is give a stage to fools, liars and
snake-oil purveyors.
