    Re: Apologise to Thatcher socialists!

    Margaret Thatcher, the "Iron Lady" of British politics who died Monday at the age of 87, is being lionized as the woman who tilted British domestic and economic policy to the right.

    Less noted is how seriously she viewed the threat of climate change and the robustness, more than 20 years ago, of climate science and United Nations body tasked with assessing state of that science.

    In a 1990 speech at the second World Climate Conference, in Geneva, Thatcher compared the threat of global warming to the Gulf War, which was then just escalating following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

    As in the usual style of LoM (in not making clear what and what are not his own personal contributions on here) the above was copied and pasted from https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...limate-change/ or another publication syndicated to use the same material)

    I wasn't upset. I just think it important for posters to make clear what are their own words and what is cut and pasted from elsewhere. You seem to be the only person on here who doesn't do that.
