Rather than speculate about Lady T:'s stance why not examine HER last word on the subject in 2002:---
"The doomsters’ favourite subject today is climate change. This has a number of attractions for them. First, the science is extremely obscure so they cannot easily be proved wrong. Second, we all have ideas about the weather: traditionally, the English on first acquaintance talk of little else. Third, since clearly no plan to alter climate could be considered on anything but a global scale, it provides a marvellous excuse for worldwide, supra-national socialism. All this suggests a degree of calculation. Yet perhaps that is to miss half the point. Rather, as it was said of Hamlet that there was method in his madness, so one feels that in the case of some of the gloomier alarmists there is a large amount of madness in their method

Censor indeed, What I wanted to say might not have made pleasant reading to management!! They cannot take criticism it seems! The trouble is that only 266 people could be found who said that about the Blair heritage, for what that's worth . And who were they - ? Age? gender, location ? It seems that management goes on as before with a casual disregard to facts as I have pointed out on the newspaper blog

Elaine - I feel certain that if the party goes into the election with Cameron as leader we are irretrievably lost. Agreed the disturbance of changing leadership now would be disruptive but the defeat in 2015 would be far less cataclysmic because the party would be speaking with one voice again.

Paul - I had hoped that with you as new editor ConHome would stop misleading people. The survey you carried out is not of Tory members and it would be UNTRUE to say it is. It is a absolutely chance collection of those from all parties and none who participate in this blog. You say that over half WERE PARTY MEMBERS. That is an astonishing improvement in presentation but it does mean that the number of members responding is pitifully low - 782 in fact and as we have no idea how many of these are from the Westminster village or other metro areas I would claim that the 1/3rd of these who think one thing is farcically low and totally meaningless. In fact I could argue that the results desired drove the analysis.

PLEASE DO NOT PERPETRATE THIS KIND OF FICTION ANY LONGER - it degrades ConHome
