Once again you refer to a most dubious source of information on your quest
for climate change denial. Perhaps once or twice you could check these
people out before uncritically posting their fluff.

From wikipedia:

quote
Via his long-running column in the UK's Sunday Telegraph, Booker has claimed
that man-made global warming was "disproved" in 2008, that white asbestos is
"chemically identical to talcum powder" and poses a "non-existent risk" to
human health, that "scientific evidence to support [the] belief that
inhaling other people's smoke causes cancer simply does not exist" and that
there is "no proof that BSE causes CJD in humans". He has also defended the
theory of Intelligent Design, maintaining that Darwinians "rest their case
on nothing more than blind faith and unexamined a priori assumptions".

One of the reasons that Booker makes such absurd claims could be that he is
not climate scientist, in fact not a scientist at all. The asbestos-talcum
powder confusion shows an appalling lack of even basic knowledge of
chemistry, not to mention denying the many studies showing the ill effects
of white asbestos. He joins Miloy in holding the peculiar duo of ideas of
climate change denial and second-hand smoke denial. He also joins Miloy in
making a living through journalism and books "debunking" science. As for
Intelligent Design there is no more thoroughly discredited and ludicrous
so-called theory. ID is a religious scam so unrelated to actual science
that it is not even wrong.

It would not have taken you very long to find numerous articles debunking
Booker's stupidity but you don't bother looking.
