Still there?
The Telegraph is the home of those formidable sceptics Christopher Booker and James Delingpole. Unfortunately, it is also the home of some moonbat environmental reporters who will regurgitate any old rubbish that flops onto their desks. This is an example of the latter:
Climate change could be accelerated by ‘methane time bomb’
Climate change could be accelerated dramatically by rising levels of methane in the Earth’s atmosphere, scientists will warn today.
Atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas, which is as much as 60 times more potent than carbon dioxide, appear to have risen significantly for the past three years running, scientists say.
Experts have long feared that vast amounts of the natural gas trapped in the frozen tundra of the Arctic could be unlocked as the permafrost is melted by rising temperatures, triggering a “methane time bomb” that could cause temperatures to soar.
More melting of the Arctic ice caused by accelerating warming would release further gases, setting off a “feedback” mechanism which could send climate change spinning out of control.
A brilliant example of irresponsible, hysterical, unfounded scaremongering, especially considering the final sentence:
Professor Nisbet told The Independent at the weekend that the new figures did not necessarily mark a departure from the trend. “It may just be a couple of years of high growth, and it may drop back to what it was,” he said.
Shame on the Telegraph for printing it.

It could be argued that the alarmists are doing us all a favour publishing more global warming stories at the moment. The public are in uproar over the global warming hoax and fictional catastrophic stories like the above are just reinforcing the con in the publics mind. The comments sections of these articles are full of rebuke and disdain for the journalists that publish such stories.
The panic is evident every time an alarmist opens their mouth. The global warming hoax is over, do not tell the alarmists they are flogging a dead horse.
Russell, you’re right about the comments and those making the comments are right about the useless hacks who spout these articles, but let’s not forget that plenty of people still only ever read the Daily Telegraph (or other newspapers) in the old-fashioned, dead-tree format, where the only comments are in the “Letters to the Editor” section. The average environmental article probably doesn’t receive any published letter, so it effectively goes unchallenged in the paper format.
The environment scribblers on the DT aren’t the only ones that are content simply to regurgitate press releases and pass off the result as “journalism”, but they are the most persistent offenders. Geoffrey Lean, in particular, would clearly be readier to ingest his own feet than to admit that he has been hopelessly gullible about “global warming”. He continues to rattle off whatever warmist codswallop is placed in front of him.
